More Downside Coming?


We love it when our favorite stocks go down.
Last week, we saw some of our favorite issues
triggering our Buy Below Price (MEG, AC, SMPH).
Which was great news for us in the TrulyRichClub.
Finally, we can buy these amazing companies again.
Yes, foreign funds have continued to sell their
holdings here in the Philippines. But not only here,
theyve also sold their holdings in all Emerging Markets
(Indonesia, Thailand, etc).
This is atime when you see panic selling among
smaller stocks. Some went down by 50 percent. This is
the reason why we dont touch them. Please follow our
SAM Table.
Yes, general sentiment is indeed negative and we
might see more downside in the coming weeks. Which, I
repeat, is exciting and wonderful for long-term investors
like us.
Just a friendly reminder: Buy slowly every month.
As long as the Philippine GDP stays above 6
percent, well be fine and youll see a bounce in the
market later on. But personally, I dont want to see a
bounce right away. In fact, I want to see the stock market dive even lower so that we can buy more shares at
cheaper prices. Thats how we grow our small money into millions.

Happy investing!

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

Shifting Gears Tempering Growth Expectations: Key
Takeaways from
COLs 2015 Mid-year Market Briefing (Part 1)
By Mike Vias


Last August 1, 2015, COL Financial Group, Inc. held its annual mid-year market briefing in the Meralco Theatre.
The theme of the briefing was Shifting Gears Tempering Growth Expectations. Here are some of the key points I
took from the fundamental presentation.
The presentation began with an introduction of its key messages. These are:
1. The Philippine Stock Market Index (PSEi) continues to be on track towards hitting 10,000.
2. The pace towards 10,000 will slow down due to numerous speed bumps.
3. Through good stock picking, there is still opportunity to generate good returns.

Thus, the stock market is shifting gears. Initially we had a good start this year, what happened? What has
changed?

l As of August 1, the PSEi is only up by 3.5 percent after rising to as much as


12.4 percent earlier this year.
l Reasons for pull back:
l Disappointing 1 quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and earnings
st

performance of listed companies led to market sell-off


l It does not help that our peers, Thailand and Indonesia were also sold-off.

This affects us because foreign fund managers would put the Philippines
in an investment basket together with Thailand and Indonesia. So if they
need to sell their positions in Thailand and Indonesia, they would have to
sell their positions in the Philippines as well.
l There is a growth in preference for the Japanese and Chinese stock markets. Although they dont

seem to be as attractive anymore after being sold-off and there seems to be consensus view that
the Chinese economy is not as strong.
l Concerns of contagion precipitated by the possible Greek default. However it did not push

through.

The bad news is, the market might take some time before it is able to recover. This means the market
may go sideways for a while. Here are some reasons for the more subdued outlook:
l Flat net interest margin from banks
l Optimistic outlook on gaming stocks did not materialize due to delay in operations
l Below than expected 1st quarter results for consumer companies as well as more intense
competition among themselves
l Delay in operations also in power generation companies

Hence, COL Researchs PSEi Earnings Per Share (EPS) Growth Forecast for 2015 has been reduced
from 15 percent down to 4 percent. Next year, it is expected to be at 10 percent. Furthermore, because of
the reasons mentioned above, COL Research has reduced its 2015 year-end PSEi index target from 8,300
to 7,950.
In comparison to our peers, Indonesia and Thailand, their markets continue to deteriorate because of:
l Indonesia
l Weak exports

Stocks Update Volume 6, No. 16 August 2015 Page 2 of 10


l High inflation and interest rates
l Disappointing government spending
l Thailand
l Weak exports

l Investment growth hampered by low capacity utilization

l Consumption hurt by high debt levels and tight credit conditions

Their market deterioration would act as drag on the Philippine market.


Another thing affecting our market negatively is the upcoming rate hike of US
Federal Reserve. From 0.25 percent, it is expected to go up by 0.25 by September
and another 0.25 by December, and this is seen to continue increasing in 2016.
Now for the good news! This weakness were seeing in the market is only
temporary. Our long-term outlook of the stock market remains attractive based on
these points:

l The Philippines has one of the best fundamental long-term stories in


the world today.
l The Philippines has one of the fastest GDP growth globally with 6.5
percent seen this year, 6.5 percent estimated for next year, and 6.3 percent
estimated for 2017.
l For comparisons sake, estimated GDP of other countries from 2015-2017:

World GDP 2.83.3 percent


High income economies 22.4 percent
Developing economies 4.45.4 percent
Thailand 3.54 percent
Indonesia 4.75.5 percent
l Our country is less dependent on exports as gross exports only contribute 22 percent of GDP.

l We have a strong current account position (dollars that come in less dollars that come

out). The ideal scenario is for a country to have more dollars than it needs to pay off. This
strength in current account position minimizes the threat of a sharp hike and significant peso
weakness. This strong current account position at 4.4 percent is driven by:
Healthy OFW remittances with +5.4 percent January to May
Continuous growth of BPO revenues with +18.7 percent in 2014 and +12.2 percent
projected this 2015.
l Government finances remain healthy with Budget to GDP only 1.1 percent and Government to GDP

at 45 percent. The governments concern is not the ability to spend but rather the deployment.
l Government spending is picking up after a slow start this year with Growth in Government

Expenditures and Capital Outlay increase by 9.2 percent and 28.5 percent respectively last
May.
l Investment spending is also picking up along with high capacity utilization of the manufacturing

sector. This justifies more future investments for expansion from companies.
l There is growing pipeline of PPP projects with $12.1 billion worth of projects in the bidding

stage, and this will boost economic growth and increase productivity.
l Liquidity conditions remain to be favorable for stocks, making stocks the asset of choice for
investors.
l Less risk of contagion from a Greek default (which did not take place)
l No signs of a bear market

Ill discuss more in detail the other good news in our next Stocks Update issue. I hope these market briefing
