Corporate Philippines grew average core earnings by about 7.1 percent in the first semester compared with a year ago, with mining, utilities and property outperforming other sectors, a new research by investment house CLSA said.
In an assessment made by the CLSA research team led by analyst Alfred Dy as the recent reporting season of publicly listed companies ended, corporate earnings for the second quarter alone were estimated to have grown an average 18.6 percent year on year.
While mining, utilities and property were cited by the August 26 report as the sectors that “impressed the most,” cited as “laggards” were construction and building materials, media and power.
