Slice & Dice

Let’s get started.

There are approximately 300 companies listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), (plus or minus a few companies due to IPOs and delistings) spread out over 21 sub-sectors:

  • Banks
  • Other Financial Institutions
  • Electricity, Energy, Power, Water
  • Food, Beverage, Tobacco
  • Construction, Infrastructure, Allied Services
  • Chemicals
  • Electrical Components & Equipment
  • Other Industrials
  • Holding Firms
  • Property
  • Media
  • Information Technology
  • Transportation Services
  • Hotel & Leisure
  • Education
  • Casinos & Gaming
  • Retail
  • Other Services
  • Mining
  • Oil
  • Small, Medium, Emerging

Informally, among traders, the companies are categorized simply as follows:

  • Blue chips or “fundamentally good companies with stock prices that move”
  • Second liners or “good companies but the stock prices sometimes sleep for a long time”
  • Garbage (“basura”) stocks or “fundamentally questionable companies but  who cares, as long as the stock price goes up”

So we will join the carnival with the TFI Analysis. Our ultimate goal is to prepare TFI Analysis for all the companies listed in the PSE. The companies are listed below alphabetically, not according to when the articles were written. Enjoy reading 🙂
