That is the question. Based on its price action for  the last month or so, it looks like that the company is on to something.  As you can see from its daily chart, SMB had sprung sharply from just below <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/forex\/usdphp\" target=\"_blank\">PHP<\/a> 10.00 to a high of PHP 31.90 in an almost vertical fashion.&nbsp;After marking the said high, SMB has since consolidated into an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/chart-patterns\/ascending-triangle\/\" target=\"_blank\">ascending triangle<\/a>.  Remember that in an ascending triangle, the buyers are the ones who are  more aggressive than the sellers as they continue to pick up the stock  even at higher price levels. Therefore, a breakout to the upside is more  likely than a breakdown. So in case the resistance at PHP 31.95 gets  taken out, SMB could jet all the way to PHP 44.00. Moreover, one can  also consider SMB&rsquo;s movements in the last 2 months to be a pennant. If  this is so, then it could even shoot up to PHP 54.00.<\/p>\n<p>On the fundamental side, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/stocks\/philippines\/San-Miguel-Corporation\" target=\"_blank\">San Miguel Corporation<\/a> (SMC) disclosed back in November 24, 2010 its plans to consolidate its  liquor business by selling its stake in Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI)  to SMB. SMC President Ramon Ang said that such deal could probably be  reached in 3 months. Remember also that the Philippine Stock Exchange  ordered SMB to comply with its 10-percent public ownership rule  (presently, the public float only amounts to less than a percent).  Increasing SMB&rsquo;s public float to at least 10% would allow it to raise  capitalization which it could use to finance its purchase of GSMI. In  case you do not know, GMSI&rsquo;s net income for the first three quarters of  2010 had risen by 29% to PHP 747.45 million from PHP 580.30 million  during the same period in 2009. This increase, if sustained in the  succeeding years, could be reflected in SMB&rsquo;s bottom line. That is if  SMB indeed goes on with the purchase. <\/p>\n<p>More on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is something brewing with San Miguel Brewery (SMB) as of late?
