from COLFINANCIAL as of 07 mar 2017

"We have a BUY rating on MER with a FV estimate of Php334.4/sh. Fundamentally, we like MER since it will be the main beneficiary of rising power demand in the country brought about by faster GDP growth. Despite the negative impact of a looming distribution tariff cut in the next regulatory period, MER’s long term profit outlook remains bright with the expansion of its power generation portfolio. In addition, MER is an attractive dividend play with a projected cash dividend of Php14.50/sh in 2017E, implying a dividend yield of 5%."
