PSE Index Drops On Profit-Taking; Property Sector Bucks Trend

The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSE) fell by 43.33 points, or 0.68%, to close at 6,364.94 on profit-taking after an early rally that pushed the benchmark to an intraday high of 6,448.02—its best level of the day, but also the springboard for broad-based selling.

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Index, June 30, 2025

Among the main sectoral indices, only Property managed to post a gain, rising 2.17%, driven by strong demand for real estate and consumer-related stocks.

Ayala Land (ALI) surged 4.65% to ₱27 on ₱1.59 billion worth of trades, while SM Prime (SMPH) rose 1.74% to ₱23.45 on ₱802 million turnover—making both stocks the most actively traded for the day.

Profit-taking, however, weighed heavily on several index heavyweights:

• SM Investments fell ₱8 to ₱872, hitting its intraday low.

  
  

• DigiPlus dropped ₱4.90 to ₱52, after reaching a high of ₱58.30.

  
  

• Monde Nissin edged up ₱0.09 to ₱7.40 but failed to hold its intraday peak of ₱7.53.

  
  

Total turnover reached ₱7.88 billion—about a third higher than the recent average.
