Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV), the Aboitiz Group’s main investment arm, said it is continuing its long-term expansion and value-building plans for 2026, supported by a more diversified portfolio and a strong financial position.
During the annual stockholders’ meeting on Monday, AEV president and CEO Sabin Aboitiz said the company’s focus remains on protecting and growing shareholder value over time. He emphasized that the group is preparing its businesses to grow while staying resilient amid economic uncertainty, with strong leadership and disciplined execution as key drivers.
For 2026, AEV and its partners have set aside ₱88.5 billion in capital spending. The largest portion, ₱62 billion, will go to AboitizPower to expand its power generation capacity, including renewable energy and battery storage projects. Another ₱8.8 billion will fund infrastructure investments under Aboitiz InfraCapital, covering airports, water systems, and digital infrastructure, while the remaining budget will support growth in food, agribusiness, economic estates, banking, and other core businesses.
Across its portfolio, AEV said its companies are continuing to strengthen operations and pursue strategic expansion. AboitizPower is improving its energy mix by adding more renewable sources and storage systems, and is also awaiting approvals for a planned 25 percent stake in Vietnam’s Van Phong Power project as part of its regional diversification strategy.
In banking, Union Bank of the Philippines is reporting improving financial health, with expectations of continued revenue growth supported by customer expansion and better margins, while also investing heavily in digital systems and automation to improve efficiency.
Aboitiz InfraCapital is expanding its infrastructure platform with support from a global partner, focusing on improving airport operations, water services, and digital infrastructure. In the food sector, Aboitiz Foods is accelerating growth through innovation, technology, and efficiency improvements across its agribusiness and nutrition businesses. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines is expanding production capacity, including a new plant in Tarlac expected to be completed in 2027.
The group is also consolidating its real estate businesses, combining Aboitiz Land and Aboitiz Economic Estates into a single platform aimed at developing more integrated and sustainable communities that bring together industrial, commercial, and residential spaces.
In construction, Aboitiz Construction, which is marking its 50th year, is expanding its services to include industrial maintenance and equipment rental, strengthening its ability to provide more complete solutions to clients.
Overall, AEV said it is continuing its shift toward becoming a “Techglomerate,” focusing on innovation, efficiency, and disciplined growth across its businesses, with the goal of creating long-term value for shareholders.
