Operations: First Philippine Holdings Corporation generates revenue from power generation (₱137.65 billion), real estate development (₱17.64 billion), energy solutions (₱5.15 billion), and construction and other services (₱15.41 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3.8%
First Philippine Holdings' dividend yield of 3.8% is below the top 25% in the Philippines, and while dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, they are not covered by free cash flows. The company recently secured a PHP 10 billion loan for general corporate needs, which may impact financial flexibility but could also support operational stability. Despite trading significantly below estimated fair value, this highlights potential concerns regarding dividend sustainability amidst its current financial structure.
