Outlook for Week 44_November 2 to 5, 2010
1 of 2
OUR OUTLOOK:
Earnings will be the focal point of trades as the penultimate month of the year
opens a shortened trading week. Telecom industry leader PLDT (pse: TEL) and
property firms Ayala Land, Inc (pse: ALI) and Filinvest Lands, Inc (pse: FLI)
have all scheduled briefings for their nine-month financial and operating
results in the first two weeks of November. The bulk of the results are expected
to flood the market by mid-month.
This will coincide with the Monetary Board's rate setting meeting slated for the
18th and the release of q3 economic figures on the 25th. While we do not foresee
any tweak in the policy rates as inflation is not seen to register any dramatic
changes, the July-to-September GDP will be closely watched. Earlier, NEDA
Director Geneal Cayetano Paderanga had hinted of a “softer Q3 GDP” after
the “election-factor” has waned and global recovery remains benign.
REVIEW:
Last week, the Main Index slipped -0.4% to 4,268.74, less than 20 points
under the all-time closing high of 4,286.87 reached at the close of the
preceding week. The market made two successive and unsuccessful
attempts to breach the 4,300-mark getting stopped at 4,299 on both
instances. Yet, despite the retreat, the index still managed gains of 4.1%
for the full month of October. For this year, the market has moved
higher in 8-of-10 months. The 4.1% return matches that achieved in the
months of August and April, all tied as the second best this year after
September's 15% romp.
A total of php105.9B worth of shares were turned-over during the month MINING & OIL, FINANCIAL,
or an average of php5.297B per session, net of block sales. While this is 9.18% 12.71%
significantly less than September's php128.7B [php6.128B daily
average], it marks only the second month that the aggregate value
INDUSTRIAL,
passed the php100B level. SERVICE, 17.18%
28.58%
For the first time, Service counters cornered the bulk of the flow with a
28.58% share, aided by last week's listing of Cebu Pacific shares. [CEB
value in the regular market accounted for roughly 13% of the sector's
total.] As a result, Industrials' piece, consistently the largest, was
significantly pared down to only 17.18% [On a year-to-date, the sector's
HOLDING FIRM,
piece of the value pie has consistently narrowed from its biggest of 40% at 16.25%
the end of May to just 31.59% at close of trades last week.] Holding
PROPERTY,
Firms' portion has steadily, but gradually increased from 16.94% at end- 16.11%

April to 18.54%, pushed by October's 16.25%. A similar observation is made for the Property and Mining & Oil sectors, with the latter registering the
most discernible change from just 5.08% at the end of May to 6.0%. Its average for the months of September and October topped 9.0%.
Foreign funds continued to flow into local equities with October totals
further growing the year-to-date net cumulative value to purchases worth
php56.836B. It was only in the months of July and August that foreign
1,500,000,000.00
funds registered a net negative position.

The table to the right lists Index stocks' return over a one-year period and
over the last two months. The list is truncated to inlcude only those issues
that have outpaced the market's 49.14% one-year gain.
Five counters have more than doubled their year-ago market values. Ten
(10) more are added if we consider at least a 50% rise.
Note however that except for AEV, AP, ICT and MBT, the rest of the list have either continued their advances at a slower pace, or in the cases of SM,
JFC, ALI, LC/B, have retreated from their levels in the month prior. The PSE Index's 4.1% rise in October, likewise paled in comparison with September's
15% romp.
Only two among index counters, GLO and GMA7, posts negative one year returns of -2.17% and -5.64%, respectively.
Note further that GMA7, together with SMC/B and SECB will be removed from the PSE Index on November 8 th, replaced by FGEN, JGS and DMC. [see
note on the changes below.]
