The company, currently valued at $5.28 billion, maintains impressive gross profit margins of 82.63% according to InvestingPro data.

Citi’s analysis suggests that the recent correction in Globe Telecom’s share price presents an opportunity for investors. Trading at a P/E ratio of 12.72, the stock appears attractively valued.

During that round, MUFG acquired a stake valuing the company at approximately $5 billion. InvestingPro subscribers have access to 8 additional key insights about Globe Telecom’s valuation metrics.

The analyst highlighted that a projected yield of 6-7% should offer support to the downside risk of the stock. Currently, Globe Telecom offers a dividend yield of 3.28% and has maintained dividend payments for 23 consecutive years. Additionally, potential activities related to the unlocking of value in Mynt/Gcash are expected to lead to an asset revaluation in the second half of 2025 or the first half of 2026.

The report emphasizes the attractive risk-reward profile for Globe Telecom’s stock, which is now considered compelling by Citi. The upgrade reflects a confidence in the company’s financial prospects and its associated fintech business, Mynt/Gcash.

Investors and market observers will be watching Globe Telecom’s performance closely, particularly in light of the potential for further developments in its fintech operations and the overall yield outlook. The unchanged price target of PHP2,300.00 serves as a testament to the firm’s belief in the intrinsic value of the telecom giant’s shares.
