It is one of my favorite and most enduring stories in sports: a generation of incredible champions inspiring the next. Because truly, where would a world-class athlete find someone who can relate to the unique experiences that they have? Who else has gone through what they’ve gone through? And it gets even sweeter when the one who has gone before becomes a close friend of the one who comes after. This is the story of friendship between Akiko Thomson-Guevara and Jasmine Alkhaldi.

Wilcon [WLCON 19.80, up 0.8%; 35% avgVol] [link] posted a Q3 net income of P908 million, which is 17.7% lower y/y from its Q3/22 net income of P1.1 billion. WLCON’s 9M/23 net income is P2.7 billion, which is 8% lower for the same period last year. WLCON attributes the net income downtick to higher operating expenses that could not be overcome by the company’s increases in net sales (+4.9% y/y) and gross profit (+6.6% y/y). WLCON reported benefitting considerably from new stores that were added to its network (which now stands at 87 branches), but said that it suffered a 2.1% decline in same-store sales. On a format basis, the depot format stores generated 96.5% of net sales and grew 4.1% in 9M/23 (-2.8% in same-store sales), while the smaller “Home Essentials” format stores generated 2.1% of net sales and grew 19.2% in 9M/23 (-2.2% in same-store sales). The 17% increase in operating expenses was mainly due to costs incurred as part of WLCON’s aggressive expansion program.
