PLDT Inc. Price & Performance (PHI)

PLDT has inaugurated its 11th and largest data center in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, boasting a 50 MW capacity and advanced AI-ready infrastructure. The company will next build a 100 MW facility in Cavite, aiming to position the Philippines as a digital hub and meet growing enterprise demand.12

As global trade tensions drive volatility, PLDT stands out for its consistent dividend policy, offering a forecasted yield of 9.3%—well above the market average. Analysts cite its strong dividend record and stability as key reasons for increased investor interest despite broader market uncertainty.34

Industry experts highlight PLDT’s strategic investments in digital infrastructure and expanding services as drivers for moderate growth. However, they caution that rising competition, regulatory uncertainties, and shifting consumer habits could challenge the company’s ability to sustain its positive momentum.56
