Metro Pacific Investments stock reports 6 percent profit growth

Metro Pacific Investments stock is now an unlisted equity story, while the infrastructure group reported PHP 16.0 billion in core profit for the first half of 2026, up 6 percent from PHP 15.0 billion a year earlier. The result gives investors a clear measure of operating strength even though the shares no longer trade publicly.

Profit reaches a new record

According to Bilyonaryo in its August 28, 2026 report, Metro Pacific posted record first-half core profit of PHP 16.0 billion, compared with PHP 15.0 billion in the first half of 2025. Contributions from operating businesses rose 6 percent to PHP 18.5 billion, matching the profit growth rate.

Power remained the largest earnings source at PHP 11.88 billion. Metro Pacific Tollways contributed PHP 3.57 billion, up 7 percent, while the water business contributed PHP 3.18 billion, down 17 percent after the dilution of Metro Pacific's Maynilad stake through its November 2025 initial public offering.

Infrastructure spending adds scale

Metro Pacific's tollway arm generated PHP 19.6 billion in toll revenue from January through June 2026, an 8 percent year-over-year increase, according to Philstar. Philippine capital expenditures totaled PHP 7.6 billion during the period, 5 percent below the prior-year level.

Metro Pacific Water also plans PHP 23 billion of infrastructure spending over five years, covering service upgrades and expansion in the Philippines and Vietnam, as reported by Philstar on September 2, 2026. The combination of rising toll revenue and long-term water investment points to infrastructure execution as the main operating theme.

Unlisted since October 2023

Metro Pacific was delisted from the Philippine Stock Exchange in October 2023 after a consortium led by First Pacific, GT Capital Holdings and Mitsui bought out minority shareholders, according to Bilyonaryo. That status means the PHP 16.0 billion first-half profit is relevant as private-company and parent-company operating information rather than as a live exchange-traded share catalyst.
