Base case scenario assumes an amended proposal. Our base case scenario assumes that MWC will be amending its proposal for the arbitration proceedings, lowering OCP, capex/opex and ADR, but will still insist on recoverability of income taxes. Under our base case scenario, MWCs FV estimate would decline by 15% from our previous estimate to Php31.00/sh. (see exhibit 1) Maintain HOLD rating, decreasing fair value to Php31.00sh. In our opinion, MWC will be able to support its argument to the arbitration panel to include income taxes and their proposed OCP when computing for the new water rates. However to be conservative, we are using MWSS ADR and capital expenditures to reach our base fair value estimate of Php31.00/sh. We are maintaining our HOLD rating on MWC given that the potential upside to our FV estimate is limited at 10.2%. Furthermore, downside risk is significant given the heightened regulatory concerns, as there is a chance that the arbitration panel could rule in favor of MWSS proposal and significantly impair MWCs profitability and fair value.

BUY
Stocks that have a BUY rating have attractive fundamentals and valuations, based on our analysis. We expect the share price to outperform the market in the next six to twelve months.
HOLD
Stocks that have a HOLD rating have either 1.) attractive fundamentals but expensive valuations; 2.) attractive valuations but near term earnings outlook might be poor or vulnerable to numerous risks. Given the said factors, the share price of the stock may perform merely inline or underperform the market in the next six to twelve months.
SELL
We dislike both the valuations and fundamentals of stocks with a SELL rating. We expect the share price to underperform in the next six to twelve months.
