Real Estate and Mining Stocks Rally While Select Conglomerates Face Headwinds on PSE

Posted on 10/5/26

Trading on the Philippine Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, presented a mixed picture as some sectors rallied with impressive gains while others endured significant pullbacks. Leading the charge among the day's advancers were real estate and mining firms, reflecting renewed investor confidence or specific company catalysts. On the other hand, a few high-value and logistics entities experienced sharp declines, signaling potential sector-specific concerns or profit-taking.

Top Gainers: Real Estate and Resources Lead the Ascent

Topping the list of gainers was SUPERCITY REALTY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, trading under ticker SRDC, which saw its shares skyrocket. The stock closed at ₱40.50, marking a substantial increase of ₱9.80, or 31.92%. This impressive gain came on a volume of 5,500 shares, valuing the day's trades at ₱203,915.00. The surge may be attributed to ongoing speculation of new urban development projects or a significant land deal.

Energy sector player ENEX ENERGY CORP. (ENEX) also posted a strong performance, climbing by ₱0.39 to close at ₱3.79, an 11.47% increase. Despite the modest total value of ₱3,790.00 from 1,000 shares, the percentage jump highlights a concentrated buying interest, possibly on the back of positive energy exploration news or favorable commodity price movements.

ASIABEST GROUP INTERNATIONAL INC. (ABG) recorded an 11.11% rise, adding ₱3.10 to its share price to finish at ₱31.00. With a robust volume of 1,086,500 shares and a total value of ₱31,907,600.00, the significant trading activity suggests strong investor appetite, perhaps driven by anticipation of improved tourism figures or strategic acquisitions within its leisure and property portfolio.

CONCRETE AGGREGATES CORPORATION (CA) also made it to the top performers, increasing by ₱5.50 to ₱58.40, a 10.40% gain. Although traded volume was minimal at just 30 shares, totaling ₱1,642.00, the sharp price movement indicates limited supply amidst niche demand.

Among the consumer discretionary stocks, SHAKEY'S PIZZA ASIA VENTURES INC. (PIZZA) saw its shares tick up by ₱0.42, closing at ₱5.44, an 8.37% boost. The company traded 58,400 shares for a total value of ₱316,589.00, potentially reflecting positive outlook on consumer spending or favorable quarterly results.

Meanwhile, in the mining sector, ATLAS CONSOLIDATED MINING AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (AT) gained ₱1.42, closing at ₱19.22, a 7.98% increase. This was accompanied by substantial trading, with 3,502,800 shares changing hands for a total value of ₱66,345,200.00, likely buoyed by strong global metal prices.

ORIENTAL PETROLEUM AND MINERALS CORPORATION "A" (OPM) also saw significant interest, rising ₱0.001 to ₱0.015, translating to a 7.14% increase. A massive 10,200,000 shares were traded, totaling ₱150,900.00, indicating speculative activity in this penny stock.

Rounding out the top gainers were HOUSE OF INVESTMENTS, INC. (HI) with a 6.43% rise to ₱5.30 (+₱0.32) on 1,000 shares worth ₱5,300.00, CTS GLOBAL EQUITY GROUP, INC. (CTS) climbing 6.06% to ₱0.35 (+₱0.02) with 310,000 shares valued at ₱107,700.00, and PAL HOLDINGS, INC. (PAL) which advanced 5.69% to ₱3.53 (+₱0.19) on 941,000 shares totaling ₱3,299,900.00. PAL's continued upward trend suggests sustained investor optimism in the airline's post-pandemic recovery and operational improvements.

Top Losers: Conglomerates and Logistics Face Downturns

On the losing end, BHI HOLDINGS, INC. (BH) led the decliners with a precipitous drop. Its shares plummeted by ₱293.00, or 29.90%, closing at ₱687.00. The substantial decrease, despite a relatively low volume of 4,680 shares amounting to ₱3,215,160.00, indicates a significant negative sentiment impacting this high-value stock, potentially due to major corporate news or an unfavorable earnings outlook.

GMA HOLDINGS, INC. - PHILIPPINE DEPOSIT RECEIPTS (GMAP) also faced a sharp decline, shedding ₱0.71 to end the day at ₱3.25, a fall of 17.93%. With 46,000 shares traded for ₱150,190.00, the dip could reflect broader challenges in the media industry or specific competitive pressures.

LBC EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (LBC), a prominent logistics and remittance provider, saw its stock price slide by ₱1.72, closing at ₱8.28, down 17.20%. Trading 20,400 shares for a total of ₱176,005.00, the decline might be indicative of a competitive market environment or concerns over consumer spending trends.

ARANETA PROPERTIES, INC. (ARA) shares also fell, losing ₱0.025 to close at ₱0.255, a decrease of 8.93%. A volume of 280,000 shares accounted for ₱73,200.00 in total value.

KEPPEL PHILIPPINES PROPERTIES, INC. (KEP) registered an 8.42% drop, with its share price decreasing by ₱0.23 to ₱2.50. This movement occurred with 20,000 shares changing hands, totaling ₱50,550.00.

Conglomerate FILINVEST DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (FDC) closed lower by ₱0.31, settling at ₱3.84, a 7.47% decline. Its 43,000 shares traded amounted to ₱166,240.00 in value, possibly reflecting investor caution across its diversified business segments.

Other notable losers included NIHAO MINERAL RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL, INC. (NI), down 7.41% to ₱0.50 (₱-0.04) on 58,000 shares worth ₱29,000.00; LORENZO SHIPPING CORPORATION (LSC), which decreased 7.25% to ₱0.64 (₱-0.05) with 19,000 shares trading for ₱12,280.00; IPM HOLDINGS, INC. (IPM), falling 6.57% to ₱1.85 (₱-0.13) on 14,000 shares totaling ₱27,590.00; and MACROASIA CORPORATION (MAC), which dipped 5.88% to ₱3.20 (₱-0.20) with 215,000 shares valued at ₱709,260.00. MacroAsia's decline could be linked to broader concerns about travel sector recovery or specific utility performance.

The day's trading underscored a selective market, where growth catalysts in specific sectors like real estate and mining drove significant upsides, contrasting with investor apprehension in certain conglomerates and service-oriented firms.
