EPHE: Philippine Stocks Are Very Cheap Relative To History
The Philippine stock market (represented by EPHE) currently trades an attractive earnings multiple of just 11x, compared to 20x earlier in the decade. I am concerned, however, by the slow-growth nature of some of its holdings and the degree to which some companies are controlled by families. Given that since inception, EPHE has provided a total return of just 26.5% versus 546% from the S&P 500, investors need a very convincing reason to invest in the ETF.

EPHE- Better Prospects Ahead, But Be Mindful Of The Risks As Well
The iShares MSCI Philippines ETF which covers 32 stocks from the Philippines has experienced a volatile 2024 and is underperforming EMs quite significantly. EPHE's Q3 GDP was hampered by Tycoon Kristine, but the growth prospects for next year look more alluring. Manufacturing PMIs reflect healthy conditions in the industrial sector (the largest sector exposure), while the investment climate is also getting an uplift from favorable reforms.

EPHE: Staying Sidelined On The Philippines
Philippine large caps have been in decline for over a decade now. Fundamentals offer little evidence of a change in fortunes. Pending a meaningful shift in the investment case, I'd remain sidelined.

EPHE: A Promising Prospect In A Tense Neighborhood
