Investment Ideas: September 19, 2025

Here is our report for today, September 19, 2025, with some insights into various investment opportunities.

Here are some key highlights:

• Bond Market Overview: Dollar-denominated bonds offer yields ranging from 4.186% to 4.979%, with maturities between June 2026 and April 2035. Peso-denominated bonds present higher yields, from 4.950% to 6.075%, for maturities stretching from December 2025 to January 2039.
• Stock Recommendations: We assigned an OVERWEIGHT rating for a major holding company as its automotive arm reported surging sales and its other subsidiaries credited with solid performance. A fast food chain was given a NEUTRAL rating because of uncertainty in the sustainability of its China operations. We recommend an UNDERWEIGHT rating for a telco amid business challenges and regulatory overhang from the Konektadong Pinoy Act.
• Spotlight: Our local strategy update supports overweight duration for fixed income and cyclical tilt for equities. For fixed income, the goal is to lock in yields at current levels as market conditions point to a bond rally. For local equities, high-quality, high-growth names are preferred.
