📉 Price Movement

  • Closing Price: ₱11.14, down ₱1.24 or −10.02% from the previous close of ₱12.38 ().
  • Intraday Range: ₱11.00–₱11.86 ().
  • Volume: ~2.62 million shares, well above the 3‑month average (~0.9 M), signaling strong selling pressure ().

📊 Key Valuation & Fundamentals

  • Market Cap: Approx. ₱26–29 billion ().
  • P/E Ratio: Around 7× ().
  • P/B Ratio: ~0.64 × ().
  • Dividend Yield: ~2.1–2.4% ().

⚠️ Performance & Technicals

  • 1-Year Change: Modest +4.0% YTD; +4.03% over 12 months ().
  • Volatility: Weekly swings average ~11%, double the PH real estate sector’s ~5–6% ().
  • Technicals: Rating is currently “Sell” per TradingView, with neutral oscillators and mostly bearish moving averages ().

📰 What’s Behind It

  • No new company-specific disclosures today.
  • Market-wide pressure might be dragging down real estate/retail stocks.
  • Recall: Its subsidiary Hotel101 Global is on track for a Nasdaq listing, and DD has ongoing REIT plans ().

🦅 Pinoy Investor POV

  • Today’s 10% drop and unusually heavy volume suggests a technical breakdown—could be stop-losses triggering or profit-taking.
  • Valuation remains attractive (low P/E, P/B), and dividend yield is solid — fundamentals still intact.
  • But beware: volatility is high. Monitor if it holds ₱11 support or rebounds past ₱11.80–12.00.
  • Watch broader property sector trends and overseas developments like Hotel101’s Nasdaq progress—they may steer sentiment.

🧭 Strategy Moves

  • If you’re long: consider averaging in around ₱11, but only if you expect support to hold.
  • If you’re watching: wait for signs of stabilization or reversal (e.g., closing above ₱11.80 with volume).
  • For income-seekers: current yield (~2.2%) remains attractive—but only if DD recovers and sustains payouts.

Mga Kababayan, May Malaking Balita Tayo: Hotel101, Listed na sa Nasdaq!

Mga ka-investor, may bago tayong dahilan para maging proud bilang Pilipino. Narinig n’yo na ba? Ang Hotel101 Global Holdings Corp., subsidiary ng DoubleDragon Corporation, ay opisyal nang listed sa Nasdaq Stock Exchange sa New York—ang unang Filipino-owned at led company na nakapasok sa isa sa pinakamalaking stock markets sa buong mundo!

Naging posible ito matapos ang matagumpay na $2.3 billion na business combination sa isang U.S.-based SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) na tinatawag na JVSPAC Acquisition Corp.. Sa halip na dumaan sa tradisyonal na IPO process, ginamit nila ang SPAC route—isang mas mabilis at strategic na paraan para makapag-public listing. Ang bagong ticker symbol nila sa Nasdaq ay HBNB, at nagsimula na silang i-trade noong July 1, 2025.

Noong June 27, nagkaroon pa ng ceremonial bell-ringing sa Nasdaq MarketSite sa Times Square. Sa pahayag ng kanilang CEO na si Hannah Yulo-Luccini, sinabi niyang ito ay hindi lang tagumpay ng kanilang kumpanya, kundi ng buong Pilipinas. Aniya, “The Nasdaq listing gives us the global platform and credibility to execute our long-term growth plans.”

Ang modelo ng Hotel101 ay tinatawag na condotel—isang hybrid ng real estate at hospitality business. Nagbebenta sila ng standardized hotel units sa investors, at hati-hati sa kita mula sa pooled rentals. Sila ang bahala sa operations, kaya consistent ang quality ng serbisyo.

Kasalukuyan silang may mga proyekto sa Pilipinas, Japan (Niseko), Spain (Madrid), at U.S. (Los Angeles). At noong 2024, pumasok sila sa isang 10,000-room joint venture sa Saudi Arabia—isang milestone lalo na para sa ating mga OFW na nandito mismo sa Gitnang Silangan.

Ang pangarap nila? Umabot sa 1 million rooms sa mahigit 100 bansa pagsapit ng 2040. Isa itong malaking hakbang para maging global brand ang isang Pinoy hotel chain.

Para sa ating mga OFW investors, magandang abangan ang galaw ng Hotel101. Bukod sa local investments, baka ito na ang pagkakataon para mas mapalawak pa natin ang ating portfolio—at sa global level pa!

Hey there, fellow investors! Let’s dive into the rollercoaster ride that was the Philippine Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in 2024. Buckle up!

Market Overview

In 2024, Philippine REITs showcased resilience and growth, offering attractive yields between 6% to 9%, outpacing global counterparts like Japan (3-4%), the US (3-5%), and Singapore (5-6%).

This performance was bolstered by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) implementing interest rate cuts, which enhanced market liquidity and investor confidence.

Top Performers

  1. VistaREIT (VREIT)
    • Dividend Yield: 10.1%
    • Performance: Despite a dip in rental income, VREIT maintained a high occupancy rate of 97% across its properties. Esquire Philippines
  2. DoubleDragon Properties REIT (DDMPR)
    • Dividend Yield: 9.1%
    • Performance: Faced an 18.5% decline in net income due to expired leases, yet continued to offer competitive dividends. Esquire Philippines
  3. Filinvest REIT Corp (FILRT)
    • Dividend Yield: 9.1%
    • Performance: Focused on BPO-centric office spaces, FILRT reported a decrease in revenues but remained committed to delivering high yields. Esquire Philippines

AREIT’s Notable Achievements

AREIT, the pioneer Philippine REIT, reported impressive growth with revenues of PHP 7.1 billion and a net income of PHP 5.0 billion, marking increases of 42% and 46% respectively. The company maintained an average occupancy rate of 99%, reflecting strong demand for its premium office spaces.

Challenges Faced

The office segment faced hurdles due to the rise of remote work, leading to increased vacancy rates and impacting rental income. Despite these challenges, the REIT sector adapted by exploring asset diversification and capitalizing on the BSP’s monetary policies to sustain growth.

Conclusion

In 2024, Philippine REITs demonstrated adaptability and resilience, offering competitive yields and expanding portfolios despite market challenges. The sector’s performance underscores its potential as a robust investment avenue, balancing income generation with growth prospects.

Happy investing, and may your portfolios be ever in your favor!

Additionally, manipulated images of Lance Gokongwei are circulating on social media, falsely portraying him in scenarios leading to an alleged arrest. These images, which feature his head superimposed onto another person’s body, are being shared with fake news labels, misleading some viewers. The Gokongwei Group is actively working to counter these deceptive practices.

Mark Cuban’s Wealth-Building Tips: How Filipinos Can Save and Invest Smartly

Financial Advice, Mark Cuban Tips, Personal Finance, REITs Philippines, Smart Investing, Wealth Building

Ever wondered how to build wealth effectively? I recently came across some insightful tips from Mark Cuban, and they’ve changed my perspective on saving and investing. Here’s a breakdown of his advice and how you can apply it to your financial journey, especially in the Philippines.

Rule No. 1: Always Have Cash Available

Cuban’s first piece of advice is straightforward: always have cash on hand. Whether you’re just starting out or have built a substantial nest egg, saving as much as you can is essential. This might mean making some lifestyle changes, like switching from buying coffee to brewing it at home or opting for budget-friendly meals instead of dining out.

Your spending habits directly impact your “rate of return.” To build wealth, you might need to make sacrifices and stay disciplined with your savings. Cuban emphasizes that having cash available isn’t just for retirement but for emergencies and opportunities. If your money is tied up in investments that you can’t quickly access, you might limit your financial growth.

In the Philippines, instead of placing your cash in a high-yield Certificate of Deposit (CD) as Cuban suggests, consider investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs can offer attractive returns and provide liquidity, allowing you to reinvest your earnings and grow your wealth.

Rule No. 2: Get Smart

Cuban’s second rule is to get smart about your financial journey. Find something you’re passionate about and explore business opportunities related to it. If you’re just starting out, look for jobs in fields that align with your interests so you can learn and earn simultaneously.

Investing in yourself is crucial. Use your free time to learn more about your industry through reading, networking, and attending events. This ongoing education prepares you for industry changes and helps you recognize opportunities when they arise.

Cuban notes that businesses experience both booms and busts. The key is to be patient, stay informed, and act wisely when opportunities present themselves.

What Not To Do

Cuban also shares valuable advice on what to avoid:

  1. No Shortcuts: Building wealth takes time and effort. Avoid “get rich quick” schemes—they often lead to setbacks.
  2. Keep Great Deals to Yourself: If you find a fantastic opportunity, keep it private. Cuban’s success partly comes from maintaining the confidentiality of his best deals.
  3. Be Wary of Deal Sellers: If someone is pushing a supposedly great deal, be cautious. They might not be offering it because it’s truly valuable.

Bottom Line

Building wealth isn’t about shortcuts or secret formulas. It’s about consistent saving, smart investing, and continuous learning. Be patient, invest in yourself, and watch for the right opportunities. As Cuban puts it, knowing when to act and when to wait is crucial for financial success.

How to Stay Focused While Learning Financial Tips Online: A Guide for OFWs

Investing in your knowledge is one of the most valuable investments you can make. By dedicating your time and energy to learning, you can acquire the skills needed to start your own business, improve your financial literacy, or enhance your career prospects. However, in today’s digital age, staying focused can be challenging, especially with so many distractions online.

The Importance of Time Management

Time management is crucial when it comes to learning. Allocating your time wisely allows you to gather the right information and stay on track with your goals. Often, we find ourselves motivated to learn something new, only to be sidetracked by the endless distractions on the internet. These distractions not only waste time but also prevent us from achieving our main objectives.

Set Clear Goals and Stay Focused

Before diving into any learning activity, it’s essential to set clear goals. What do you want to achieve? Whether it’s mastering a new financial strategy, learning how to budget effectively, or understanding investment options, having a clear objective will help you stay focused.

Common Online Distractions and How to Avoid Them

When conducting research or learning online, several distractions can pull you away from your goals. Here are some common culprits:

  • E-mail: Constantly checking your inbox can break your concentration. Set specific times to check your emails instead of doing it frequently.
  • Social Media (e.g., Facebook): Social media platforms are designed to keep you engaged, often at the expense of your productivity. Consider using website blockers or setting a timer for social media use.
  • Online Ads: Ads are everywhere online, and they can be very distracting. Use ad blockers to minimize this distraction.
  • Chat or Instant Messaging: Messages from friends or colleagues can interrupt your learning flow. Turn off notifications or set your status to “Do Not Disturb” when you’re focused on learning.

By managing these distractions effectively, you can stay focused on your learning goals and complete your tasks more efficiently.

Conclusion: Stay Focused and Achieve Your Financial Goals

Learning to manage your time and avoid distractions is key to achieving your financial goals. By staying focused and disciplined, you can make the most of your learning opportunities and set yourself up for success.

Have you heard of earning from the stock market through dividend investing? With this type of investment, you simply need to buy stocks that pay dividends to shareholders. Besides stocks, there are also investment vehicles called REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). We are currently invested in REITs, and based on my experience, they provide an approximate annual return of 6% to 7%. The best part is that these dividends are paid on a quarterly basis.
