MANILA, Philippines — SM Investments Corp. (SMIC), the holding firm of the Sy family, posted a 7% increase in net income for the first quarter of 2026, reaching P21.5 billion, driven by robust performance across its core businesses.

Consolidated revenues grew 5% to P159.4 billion, reflecting resilient consumer demand and diversified income sources, the company announced on Wednesday.

Banking remained the largest profit contributor at 49%, followed by property (28%), retail (15%), and portfolio investments (8%).

Retail net income surged 13% to P4.1 billion, supported by strong non-food sales, particularly in department stores, buoyed by seasonal spending such as for graduations.
