AP. Aboitiz Renewables' 846 MW Build-Out Meets a Tight Power Market

Highlights

• Aboitiz Renewables has added 846 MW of new supply to the grid over four years, most of it solar.
• Tight grid supply is supporting spot power prices, so that fuel-free capacity is selling into a firmer market now.
• Vini Research Desk rates AP a Hold, ~10% upside to our ₱51.20 fair value.

The Setup

Aboitiz Renewables, AboitizPower's clean-energy arm, was named Independent Power Producer of the Year at the Enlit Asia Power & Energy Awards 2026. The award cited its project completions, M&A activity and sector leadership. Over the past four years it added 846 MW of new capacity, including six solar plants totaling 789 MW and 40 MW of integrated capacity. The recognition comes as the Department of Energy pushes faster renewable construction after Middle East attacks drove oil prices and power costs sharply higher. AP has rallied 19% from its 52-week low of ₱39.00 on Nov. 11, 2025, and at ₱46.50 sits just below its ₱48.00 high from Mar. 31, 2026, despite net foreign selling; our momentum read on AP is Bullish.

Our Read

The trophy matters less than the timing. The solar and integrated assets are already built and generating, so they earn in current quarters while supply tightness supports spot prices. Solar output carries no fuel bill, so oil-driven cost inflation widens the margin on every merchant kilowatt-hour the group sells. At a ₱331.5 billion market cap, much of that is already priced in, and

Vini Research Desk rates AP a Hold, seeing about 10% upside to our fair value of ₱51.20. The growing fuel-free generation base supports future dividend growth and capital appreciation, which benefits holders of the Passive Income Plan.
