    P20B worth of PLDT value wiped out in a day

    CLOSE TO P20 billion worth of shareholder value in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) was wiped out in the stock market Wednesday as the company reeled from a downgrade by US-based investment bank Morgan Stanley.

    The share price of the country's biggest publicly listed company plummeted 6.1 percent in frenetic trading on the Philippine Stock Exchange, ending at P1,680 apiece from Tuesday's close of P1,790 -- a drop of P110 per share.

    stock prices go up and down by 6% or more all the time. the question is, have the fundamentals of the company changed for it to gain or lose value in a sustained manner? that's how shareholder value is created or wiped out.

    short term market fluctuations mean nothing unless you're a day trader.

    Though PLDT fundamentals are good, Morgan Stanley sees little room for positive surprises, slower growth, and threat from VOIP.

    i personally disagree with Morgan Stanley on their prognosis. i have been accumulating PLDT over the span of 9 years already and they have proved to be resilient. price-earnings ratio could still take it (vis-a-vis other telecom companies in the S.E. region).

    with all due respect to Morgan Stanley (affiliate of Citibank), "talking down the market" as what they have done allowed small opportunistic investors to buy into the company.

    Don't think Morgan Stanley is a Citibank affiliate

    Sorry, I stand corrected. Citibank's affiliate is Smith Barney. Thanks for the heads up!

Bad news for PLDT shareholders
