It deals with a wide range of services in BPO such as contact  center,  data conversion, salary packaging, and software solutions. One of its  better known subsidiaries at least in the Philippines is Advance Contact  Solutions. Industry-wise, the Philippines&rsquo; BPO sector has been  expanding on a fast pace due to the sufficient amount of quality  Filipino BPO workforce. It is estimated that the country&rsquo;s BPO sector  has been growing by 25% a year for the past several years and is  expected to grow by the same in the years to come. At present, the  industry is already worth around $7.5 billion which is equivalent to  about 2.5% of the country&rsquo;s gross domestic product (GDP). Expansion in  the industry due to further foreign cost optimization and additional  investments in BPO&nbsp; structures, therefore, should and would in turn  benefit its players like PAX.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apparently, the 25% growth in the  industry at least for 2010 did not reflect in PAX&rsquo;s shares as they just  continued to skid on a downward slope after peaking back in August 2009.  In fact, PAX has traded within a descending channel and below its three  moving averages since February 1 of last year. It was only today, when  it finally breached the resistance of the descending channel and moved  above the three moving averages after breaking out from a small <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/chart-patterns\/cup-and-handle\/\" target=\"_blank\">cup and handle pattern<\/a>.  The recent breakout from the descending channel and cup and handle  looks to be valid given the spike in volume. Hence, if buying interest  remains, PAX could aim for its upside target of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/forex\/usdphp\/\" target=\"_blank\">PHP<\/a> 2.20.<\/p>\n<p>More on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paxys, Inc. or PAX in the Philippine Stock Exchange is a firm that is engaged in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry within the Asia Pacific.
