Ayala Corporation (AC), one of the Philippines’ largest conglomerates, has purchased additional shares in its subsidiary Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI), according to disclosure documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Philippine Stock Exchange on June 16, 2026.
What Happened?
Think of Ayala Corporation as a big parent company that owns several other companies. One of its biggest “children” is Ayala Land, which builds shopping malls, office buildings, and housing communities. On June 16, 2026, the parent company decided to buy even more shares of this “child” company.
According to Ayala Corporation’s disclosure signed by Ginaflor C. Oris, Head of Investor Relations, the company purchased 35,000,000 common shares of Ayala Land at an average price of PHP 13.07 per share.
Breaking Down the Purchase
The detailed filing from Ayala Land shows the purchase was made in two separate transactions on the same day:
- 20,000,000 shares bought at PHP 13.10 per share
- 15,000,000 shares bought at PHP 13.04 per share

After this purchase, Ayala Corporation’s ownership in Ayala Land increased from 53.15% (as of March 31, 2026) to 53.58% as of June 16, 2026.
To put this in simpler terms: imagine Ayala Land is like a pizza cut into 100 slices. Before this purchase, Ayala Corporation owned about 53 slices. After buying more shares, they now own almost 54 slices out of the 100.
