April inflation significantly hotter than expected at 7.2% vs. 5.5% consensus estimate & 4.1% in March. This may cause to BSP to turn even more hawkish and raise rates further.

There’s an increasingly dystopian tone to commentary on AI. Fed Gov Waller today: “The thing with AI is it’s coming at us so fast….that it’s easy to start seeing jobs that may go away before you see the new jobs that are going to be created.”

In a briefing, SCC expressed confidence in winning the bid due to its technical capabilities & the short remaining life of Semirara coal mine w/c doesn’t justify the huge financial investment required for new entrants.

While the DOE said that the bidding process would be more based on the technical qualification of the bidders and would not solely be determined by the bid price, SCC said it still has no indication as to the amount it needs to bid price in order to win.

Should SCC fail to win the bid, it is willing to act as the service contractor to the new winner. SCC is also prepared to look for potential new coal mines in the country given its experience in coal exploration.

Bad news for SCC, hurting its profit & dividend outlook. Gov’t rejects extension of SCC’s coal mining operations. Instead, it will bid out a new operating contract. Huge blow for SCC. Coal mining accounts for 55% of profits & supplies fuel to its power plants (higher costs).

DMC will also be negatively affected since SCC accounts for 49% of DMCI’s net income.
