PSE lifts Vista Land, Merrymart, Waterfront suspensions; two Villar firms still suspended

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) lifted trading suspensions on Monday, May 19, for Vista Land & Lifescapes and two other firms after they submitted their overdue annual reports.

Vista Land’s securities resumed trading at 9:00 am, while Merrymart Consumer Corporation and Waterfront Philippines Incorporated also had their trading restrictions lifted earlier in the day.

Three companies owned by former senator Manny Villar were suspended from trading on Friday, May 16, for failing to submit annual reports on time; however, Vista Land has since complied with the PSE’s requirements.

Vistamalls and Golden MV Holdings, two other firms owned by Villar, have yet to file their annual reports as of Monday morning.

The three companies initially requested extensions for filing their first quarterly report of 2025 due to delays in finalizing audited financial statements from the previous year.
