Due Diligencer’s take

1,225,095,945 ICTSI common shares and foreigners’ 786,477,498 ICTSI common shares had paper value of P140.886 billion and P90.445 billion, respective­ly.

These were only in paper because trading on listed common shares takes place from Monday share changes, so does the volume or number of shares traded.

share prices closed at P115, which common shares and foreigners’ 786,477,498 ICTSI common shares market value of P140.886 billion and P90.445 billion, respective­ly.

Of course, these were only the paper values of stockholde­rs because they are not selling. As a matter of fact, they could have gotten more if they were to sell at 52-week high of P122 per ICTSI common share.

The public stockholde­rs could have benefited more had they acquired their present holdings at 52-week low of P76.95 and sold at the stock’s one-year high of P122. The problem, though, is nobody knows when a listed stock’s price would stop falling.

The same thing is true with rising stocks. Who among the public will be able to guess when the price of listed common shares will rise or fall or cease rising or falling? Just asking.
