Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) has set a capital expenditure budget of P88.5 billion for 2026, focusing significantly on its power generation sector. Of this budget, P62 billion will be channeled through Aboitiz Power Corp., with 29% allocated to renewable energy and battery storage, 21% to thermal power, and 18% to distribution utilities.

Additional investments include P8.8 billion for Aboitiz InfraCapital and P6.3 billion for real estate. This planned spending marks a decrease from the P132.3 billion budgeted for 2025, primarily due to reduced merger-and-acquisition activities. AEV reported a core net income of P25.5 billion for 2025, steady from 2024.
