Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) empowers its people to drive the Group’s evolution into the Philippines’ first Techglomerate that contributes to nation building and creates long-term value for shareholders
Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV), the active portfolio manager of the Aboitiz Group, is advancing key initiatives and sustaining long-term value creation in 2026, supported by a more diversified portfolio and a strong balance sheet.
At the Group’s annual stockholders’ meeting on April 27, Aboitiz Group President and CEO Sabin M. Aboitiz said the Group’s priorities remain anchored on protecting and growing shareholders’ capital over the long term.
“At the end of the day, it always comes down to our people—their leadership, discipline, and commitment to doing things the right way. We are building a business that is not only positioned for growth, but prepared for volatility,” he said.
For 2026, the AEV, together with its partners, have allocated ₱88.5 billion in capital expenditures. Of this, ₱62 billion is earmarked for AboitizPower to expand its generation portfolio, while ₱8.8 billion is allocated to infrastructure investments across towers, water, and airports. The balance will support expansion in food and agribusiness, economic estates, banking infrastructure, and core operations.
Across its portfolio, the Group will continue to strengthen the operations of its core businesses while advancing strategic growth initiatives.
AboitizPower is optimizing its generation mix and advancing its renewable energy pipeline, supported by investments in battery storage and baseload capacity. Its planned 25% stake in Vietnam’s Van Phong Power Company Limited, subject to approvals, marks a step toward geographic diversification and long-term contracted capacity.
UnionBank enters 2026 with improving balance sheet quality and a more scalable operating model. It expects net revenues to continue expanding, driven by customer growth and improving net interest margins while maintaining discipline in credit and risk management. Ongoing investments in digital infrastructure and automation are expected to enhance efficiency and support long-term returns.
Aboitiz InfraCapital is scaling its infrastructure platform with a focus on asset optimization and disciplined expansion. Its partnership with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) is expected to strengthen capital capacity and bring global expertise. Its priorities for 2026 include improving airport performance, expanding digital infrastructure, and enhancing water operations through efficiency and selective investments.
In the Food and Beverage Sector, Aboitiz Foods continues to execute its Dual Transformation strategy, focusing on cost efficiency, innovation, and integration. Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines supports this growth through expanded capacity and sustained execution, including a new production facility in Tarlac set for completion in 2027, alongside continued sustainability initiatives.
The integration of Aboitiz Land and Aboitiz Economic Estates into a unified real estate platform strengthens the Group’s ability to deliver more complete and sustainable communities, combining industrial, commercial, and residential developments.
As Aboitiz Construction marks its 50th anniversary, it is also pursuing a full-fledged expansion of its capabilities in industrial maintenance and equipment rental services to strengthen its presence in the industry. These offerings complement its core construction portfolio, enabling the company to deliver end-to-end integrated solutions to stakeholders—engineered for excellence.
Alongside these efforts, AEV continues its transformation into the country’s first Techglomerate by strengthening its ability to innovate, face challenges and explore new opportunities.
Built on disciplined execution, a resilient portfolio, and the strength of its people, Aboitiz is positioning itself to grow, adapt and create long-term value for shareholders.
