I find it hard to buy the notion that Manila property is still in a Bull market, when I see charts like the one above.

These are under pressure too : ALI at P33.85 - 17.5% : SMPH at P28.40 - 9.9% :

And Century ( CPG at P0.495 - 75% ) may soon retest the old lows.near 0.40.

AGI Announced yesterday, MEG a few days earlier. ... 5-yrs : 2-yrs : 6-mos : 10-d :

MEG stock is up to P 3.74, 10% above the recent low near P 3.40 last week
AGI is trading at P 13.68, up 2% on the day, and +9.4% above last week's low near P12.50.
The market seems to like these results

TAKING PROFITS, on the "thought trade", because the "easy money" may have been made on MEG, and AGI.

I would probably only unwind the 1st part (MEG vs. 5,000 shs SMPH) of the 2nd trade,

WHY so Weak?

Big test for MEG stock ( 3 yr : 5 yr ) may be coming at P4.50 soon

TovbDYl.gif

At P4.79, MEG is 26.8% off the P6.54 peak.

A 20% drop is normally considered a Bear market

MEG's parent, Alliance Global (AGI - 10yr) is also under pressure - at P 11.30

Ga8eMvu.gif

COL is bullish on MEG:

"For his part, COL Financial Group, Inc. Senior Research Manager Richard G. Lañeda said Megaworld will continue to aggressively expand its leasable retail and office space, citing the company’s plans to complete a total of 633,000 square meters (sq.m.) of leasing space starting this year until 2021.

“We are raising our fair value estimate on MEG from P5.84 to P7.20 after raising our valuation estimate for MEG’s investment properties and landbank. We factored in recently completed office and retail buildings and also raised our EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) margin assumption for investment properties. Meanwhile, we raised our landbank value estimate to better reflect the increase in market prices of land in the past two years,” Mr. Lañeda cited COL’s report on Megaworld dated June 26.

“Given that EBITDA margins have consistently held above our conservative long-term assumption, we are raising our EBITDA margin forecast to 88.3%,” he said.

Megaworld commits to spend P300 million over the next five years — or until 2024 — to expand its residential, office, retails, and hotel projects. This year alone, it planned to spend P65 billion for its expansion.

Broken down, around 65% or roughly 195 billion of the five-year capital expenditures will be earmarked for the development of residential projects and investment properties, while 35% will be used for land acquisitions.

Last year, the company posted a net income attributable to the parent of P15.219 billion, an increase of 15.8% from P13.707 billion in 2017.

In the first quarter of 2019, Megaworld managed to grow its attributable net profit by 16.3% to P3.836 billion.

COL’s Mr. Lañeda expects Megaworld to net P17.736 billion this year. He pegged its support and resistance levels for this week’s trading at P5.90 and P6.17, respectively.

Meanwhile, RCBC’s Mr. Lucero has a P16.8-billion core net income forecast for Megaworld this year on “broad-based growth.”

“[T]he residential business growth will be buoyed by sustained high amount of residential launches. Their residential inventory remains less than one year worth of sales. On the other hand, MEG expects to add at least 200,000 square meters of office and mall leasing space this year, which, coupled with assumed better occupancy for the space added last year, will allow for strong growth in rental income,” he said.

(UPDATING 2016 figures) :

MEG was about Half of Alliance Global's income in 2016, now up to 67%

Now AGI will pour 70% of its capital spending into MEG. At a time of very high property prices.
If customers balk @ high prices, then the weight of the Group's debt may be heavily felt.

Travellers to delist from PSE as AGI income flat in H1

In its disclosure to the Exchange, the operator of Resorts World Manila will be delisted on October 15.

“The conversion from a public entity into a private company will allow the company to timely address evolving market demands and rapidly changing customer needs without compromising its business strategies to competition,” Travellers said.

It will make a tender offer for up to 1.58 billion common shares being held by the public other than the firms owned by Tan, including AGI, Megaworld Corp., First Centro Inc., Adams Properties Inc., Star Cruises Philippines Holdings B.V., Asian Travellers Ltd., Premium Travellers Ltd.

Travellers public float was only at 10.03 percent. Its share price closed on Tuesday at P5.43 apiece. Travellers has also been a drag to its parent firm’s profitability during the past quarters.

AGI had a flat income for the six months ending June to P12.5 billion, from last year’s P12.45 billion.

Consolidated revenues rose 15 percent to P82.8 billion, from P71.7-billion last year.

“We believe the Group’s strong top line performance was achieved on the back of a highly favorable domestic economy which cushioned the impact of some challenges in the global market,” Kevin Andrew L. Tan, chief executive officer of AGI, said.

MANILA, Philippines, July 1, 2019— Alliance Global Group, Inc. (AGI), the investment holding company of tycoon Dr. Andrew L. Tan, is allocating P410-billion for capital expenditures (CAPEX) program from 2020 to 2024.

“Our five-year capital spending program signals our ongoing thrust to pursue an aggressive but organic growth strategy for our various businesses. It is our intention to continue to reinvest in these businesses to sustain our growth pace,” says Kevin L. Tan, chief executive officer, AGI.

The planned capital expense is higher when compared to P377-billion allocated in 2015-2019, inclusive of this year’s budget of P85-billion. It is even significantly bigger than P218-billion set aside in 2010-2014, at a time when AGI forayed into the international market.

The bulk, or around 73% of the Group’s CAPEX in the next five years, will be allocated for Megaworld Corporation, AGI’s property arm and the country’s largest developer of integrated urban townships. This will fund the company’s new and ongoing township development projects, planned residential launches and continued buildout of offices, lifestyle malls and hotels throughout the country. A portion of the budget will also be allocated for the company’s landbanking strategy in order to add to its current 4,700 hectares of developable land.

Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc., owner and operator of Resorts World Manila (RWM), will account for another 15% of the Group’s five-year CAPEX. The amount will fund largely the development of its next integrated resort, Westside City Resorts World, on a 30.5-hectare property within the PAGCOR Entertainment City complex in Paranaque. Travellers will commence with the construction of the casino and mall once piling works are completed.

About 5% of the Group’s CAPEX, on the other hand, will be allocated to Golden Arches Development Corporation (GADC), which holds the exclusive franchise to operate quick service restaurants (QSR) in the Philippines under the “McDonald’s” brand. The company continues to undertake a store expansion program that will add about 50-60 McDonald’s stores a year, from its current 633 stores. McDonald’s is also at the forefront of revolutionizing customer experience in the QSR segment with the rollout of NXTGEN stores which feature innovations such as the self-ordering kiosks, modernized menu boards and card payment acceptance. GADC plans to roll out more NXTGEN stores this year, from its current 62 stores throughout the country.

Emperador Inc., the world’s largest brandy company and owner of the fifth largest Scotch whisky manufacturer in the world, will account for 4% of the Group budget to fund its largely maintenance CAPEX. After its heavy investments since 2014, Emperador is now pursuing an organic growth strategy by fortifying its global distribution system for its premier whisky products under Whyte and Mackay, as well as its Spanish brandy products under Bodegas Fundador. The company is also expanding its product mix in the domestic market with the recent introduction of The Bar Premium Gin, while it maintains market leadership in the brandy segment with its flagship Emperador Brandy.

The balance of 3% will be allocated for Infracorp Development Inc. largely to fund its infrastructure projects, the 2-kilometer Fort Bonifacio-Makati Skytrain monorail project, and the rehabilitation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Both are awaiting NEDA approval and are looking to start project implementation soon.

Creative? Or Desperate?  Or a bit of both?

Megaworld-WeWork deal seen to draw more foreign firms to Philippines

Coworking firm WeWork can attract foreign companies looking to set up shop in the Philippines, says Megaworld

Megaworld-WEWORK-Uptown-Bonifacio-MArch-

MANILA, Philippines – Megaworld Corporation is expecting more multinational enterprises (MNEs) to locate in the Philippines through its partnership with United States-based WeWork.

WeWork, which designs and builds coworking spaces, recently began operations in the country.

Megaworld senior vice president Jericho Go told reporters on Wednesday, March 6, that having WeWork set up its first space in Uptown Bonifacio, Taguig City, will allow foreign companies eyeing the Philippine market to test the waters.

"The advantage of having WeWork is they are able to supply the Philippines, not just Megaworld, with a fresh set of multinational companies, some of which haven't started operations in the Philippines," he added.

Go, however, noted that they are not after the quantity, but quality of future clients looking for permanent, larger, and built-to-suit office spaces. (READ: Building a case for working in a coworking space)

"Some of those are really startups, and there are a few that are established. What you really want to get are the established brands because these are the guys that are happy to sign big spaces and long-term leases," he said.

"[It's] very important for a developer like Megaworld to ensure that you have high-quality MNEs, Fortune 500 companies [as clients] to get for longevity and sustainability."

The firm is eyeing to reach P20 billion in terms of rental revenue by 2020. This includes commercial and retail sales as well.

. . .

Rapid expansion

Aside from the first location in Uptown Bonifacio, WeWork head of community and member experience Eyad Zahra said they are expecting to open a second branch at the RCBC Plaza in Makati City.

"There's so much opportunity to support the businesses here in Manila. Every district will be important to us," he added.

Go also said they are looking at Eastwood, McKinley Hill, and McKinley West as other possible locations.

Despite having only begun operations last December, a WeWork spokesperson told Rappler that the 4,081-square-meter facility in Uptown Bonifacio has already reached full capacity of 806 members.

Now AGI will pour 70% of its capital spending into MEG. At a time of very high property prices.
If customers balk @ high prices, then the weight of their debt may be heavily felt.

In addition, AR-2018 says

"The tourism industry of the Philippines is soaring to new heights. AGI is set to provide in various places of the country the much-needed relaxation spaces, from our home-grown hotel brands to the world’s biggest names in luxury hotels. AGI aims to be the country’s largest hotel operator in terms of room keys targeting to reach 12,000 hotel rooms in the near-term." #travelgoalsPhilippines

MEG's Bad news is OUT... stock up 0.12 to 3.52, from 3.25 (ie HALF the 6.50 peak)

P 5 Billion buyback announced

> https://www.bworldonline.com/pogo-crackdown-virus-weigh-on-megaworld-stock/

Being the largest office leasing company in the Philippines [with almost two million square meters (sq.m.) of leasable area)], investors fear that Megaworld’s earnings and occupancy figures may take a hit from the lesser influx of POGO firms and employees due to the coronavirus outbreak and current crackdown of the Philippine and Chinese government on the POGO industry…,” Mandarin Securities Corp. Research Analyst Zoren Philip A. Musngi said in an e-mail.

According to him, Megaworld’s fundamentals “are currently tilting to the bearish/negative side” because most of their businesses — which include residential, office and mall spaces — will likely be hit by the COVID-19 fears and POGO industry crackdown.

“However, one upside we see from the stock is that the impact of the POGO crackdown may be less severe than investors expect, considering that most POGO tenants pay out their rents in advance for one to two years (according to industry executives) and that most of the crackdown are on illegal Chinese workers and POGOs not paying taxes,” Mr. Musngi added.

In a phone interview, AP Securities, Inc. Senior Research Analyst Rachelle C. Cruz noted other listed firms connected to POGOs were affected, but that the price movement was “magnified” for Megaworld as “most of its projects are leasing office spaces for POGOs.”

Although Megaworld’s exposure to POGO is about four percent of its pre-tax earnings, Ms. Cruz said the potential flight of POGOs in the country could lead to lower lease rate and future selling prices of condominiums.

According to Leechiu Property Consultants, POGOs cornered the largest office stock at 738,000 sq.m. or 44% of the total office space supply in 2019. This was 67% more than the sector’s 443,000-sq.m. net take-up in 2018. The POGO industry is largely powered by Chinese employees.

Moreover, the Chinese embassy, on its Facebook page last Feb. 23 clarified earlier reports that the Ministry of Public Security of China has canceled the passports of thousands of suspected Chinese nationals working in POGOs.

. . .

Megaworld’s attributable net income stood at P12.8 billion in the nine months to September 2019, up 13.9% from the P11.24 billion in the same period in 2018.

Mandarin Securities’ Mr. Musngi expects Megaworld’s fourth-quarter net earnings to be around P4.4 billion, driven by “sustained growth” across the firm’s residential, office, and malls businesses.

The hit to profitability will likely come in succeeding quarters, considering that its competitor Ayala Land already signaled that [first-quarter 2020] earnings is weaker due to lesser foot traffic and occupancy in their malls and hotels,” he said.

AP Securities’ Ms. Cruz expects Megaworld’s net income to hit P17.4 billion for 2019.

For the week, analysts said Megaworld’s announcement on its P5-billion share buyback program last Friday would have an upside impact on its share price.

RALLY on 5B Buyback

MEG - since 2010 : w/AGI / Last: P 3.58 + 0.18

MZWwQ4b.gif

Article expected a bounce:

“We expect the price to bounce by [this week] and may reach around the P3.60-per-share level, especially after the company recently announced a P5 billion share buyback program,” said Mandarin’s Mr. Musngi.

He placed the stock’s support level at P3.30, while resistance levels “will likely be in the P3.70 and P4.00 levels.”

For AP Securities’ Ms. Cruz: “The [buyback program] will support the stock’s price [this week]. We might not see a sharp decrease compared to what was seen in the earlier part of [last] week.” — Carmina Angelica V. Olano

I expect to eventually see it trading below P3

When AGI did a buyback last year , it helped the stock for 2-3 weeks, but now AGI is back below 10.00

Nearly all of the developers are trading at a big discount to Book Values.  The exceptions, are the two with the best developed MALL businesses.  But the very recent drops in the shares of SMPH and ALI shows that these two are not immune either.

Megaworld attributable income rises 0.2% to P13.5 billion

MEGAWORLD Corp. on Wednesday reported a net income of P13.46 billion for 2022, higher by 0.2% than the earlier year’s P13.43-billion profit attributable to shareholders.

Its after-tax net income rose by 6.9% to P15.37 billion from the P14.38 billion registered in 2021 as revenues across its business segments grew by double digits.

“We have exceeded our targets across all business segments last year and we remain optimistic that we can hit or even exceed our pre-pandemic numbers this year,” Kevin Andrew L. Tan, the company’s chief strategy officer, said in a press release.

Total revenues surged by 17.3% to P59.53 billion from P50.75 billion as real estate sales, rental income, hotel operations, interests, and other income sources exceeded the figures in the previous year.

However, costs and expenses grew much higher at 21.4% to P44.15 billion from P36.38 billion previously.

Among Megaworld’s business segments, real estate, especially residential sales, drove growth by expanding by 18% in 2022 to P36.8 billion.

In 2022, the township developer launched two urban projects — the 3-hectare Winford Resort Estate in Manila, and the 340-hectare Sherwood Hills in Cavite.

“Certainly, we will be launching more townships this year as we look forward to expanding our offerings to more cities across the Philippines,” Mr. Tan said.

Megaworld Premier Offices recorded an 11% increase in rental income to P12.2 billion last year from P11.1 billion in the previous year due to “growing transactions” from both traditional and business process outsourcing tenants.

Meanwhile, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls grew its revenue by 51% to P3.4 billion, mostly driven by increased consumer spending and higher foot traffic.

Revenues from Megaworld Hotels & Resorts increased by 35% to P2.6 billion in 2022 from P1.9 billion in the previous year, on the sustained performance of in-city hotels and the pickup in meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions or MICE activities.

On Wednesday, Megaworld shares closed 0.99% or two centavos lower at P2.00 apiece. — Adrian H. Halili

In 2011, GERI changed its name to its present form and changed its focus towards the development of integrated tourism estates following the acquisition by Alliance Global Group of a majority stake in the company. The company was eventually consolidated under Megaworld in 2014.
