I. INTRODUCTION

The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. is a privately held, non-profit organization that

was founded with the intention of creating and preserving a clear, profitable, and orderly

marketplace for the trading of securities, including bonds, stocks, permits, alternatives, and

 HOLYANGELUNIVERSITY

more. Companies looking to raise capital through the issuance of new securities are

gathered by the PSE. The sector classification system used by the PSE divides listed

companies into six main groups. Financials, Industrial, Holding Firms, Real Estate, Services,

and Mining and Oil are some of these. The Statista Research Department (2023) claims.

The oil and natural gas industries play a major role in shaping the energy market. They are

the world's primary fuel sources and have a significant impact on the world economy. Oil is

used more often in the Philippines than other fuels, especially for transportation.

Nevertheless, the Philippines must import crude oil and petroleum products to meet the

rising demand due to low domestic output. The production of natural gas has been viewed

as an undesirable byproduct for the majority of the industry's existence, and even now, in

some parts of the world, it is flared in large quantities.

They facilitate easy asset trading and resource distribution, financial markets are

essential to the efficient operation of capitalist economies. They design financial products

that give those with surplus funds to invest returns and give those same funds to those in

need. For example, the stock market is a financial market. Exchanges of different financial

assets, including stocks, bonds, currencies, and derivatives, give rise to these markets.

Specifically, the stock market facilitates the purchase and sale of shares in publicly traded

corporations by investors. Once the primary stock market is where the company first issues

its stocks. These stocks are then traded on the secondary market, where investors

exchange securities that they already own.

In order to guarantee reasonable and efficient prices, Transparency and information

availability are critical to the functioning of financial markets. While some financial markets,

such as the New York Stock Exchange, are relatively small and have little activity, the

Exchange (NYSE), manages securities valued at trillions of dollars daily.

Envision individuals and companies interacting to exchange goods, similar to how

goods were traded before money was invented. The global hub for money management in

this market. It aids in determining costs and allocation of funds. Consider it as a vast

financial amusement park known as the "financial market."

primary purpose of engaging in oil, gas, and mineral exploration and development. In

1989, realizing the need to balance the risk associated with its petroleum activities,

petroleum exploration and production, financial services, property development,

mining and infrastructure development. On January 16, 2008, the stockholders of

OV approved to change the Company’s primary purpose back to petroleum

exploration and development and include as a secondary purpose the holding

company purpose clause, which the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

approved on April 13, 2009.

The Company's active petroleum projects cover production and exploration

areas in offshore Palawan and onshore Mindoro under various service contracts with

the Philippine government through the Department of Energy.

PETRON CORPORATION

The company Petron Corporation refines and sells oil and works with clients in the

energy and derivatives businesses to find solutions. The petroleum group includes selling

gasoline, diesel, and kerosene to both motorists and people who run public transportation.

 HOLYANGELUNIVERSITY

During the initial six months of 2023, Petron Corporation demonstrated a strong

performance as seen by its consolidated sales volume of 57.61 million barrels, indicating a

notable 12% growth in comparison to the same period in the previous year. The growth

observed in the operations of the Philippines was particularly remarkable, as evidenced by a

significant increase in sales volume of 16%, resulting in the sale of 34.93 million barrels.

This surge may be attributed to the strong recovery of demand inside the country. As a

result, Petron experienced a decline in its consolidated revenues, with a decrease of 8%

from P398.52 billion to P367.04 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Despite the drop in commodity prices, there was a contraction in refining cracks. However,

Petron was able to sustain its consolidated operating income at P16 billion for the initial half

of the year. This success was facilitated by favorable volume growth and the overall

commendable performance of the firm in the marketing sector. Nevertheless, as a result of

consecutive increases in interest rates, the consolidated net income for the first half of the

year amounted to P6.14 billion.

Through the given time period, Petron Corporation stock prices have gone up and

down a number of times. From the beginning of July to the end of July, prices seem to have

been slowly going up, hitting a high point of P3.750. This indicates a favorable trend and the

possibility of increased investor trust within that timeframe. Furthermore, the closing prices

offer valuable insights into the prevailing market attitude at the conclusion of each trading

day. On October 31, 2023, the stock exhibited an opening price of 3.29 and a closing price

of 3.27. Throughout the day, it demonstrated a trading range spanning from 3.04 to 3.34,

while the total trading volume amounted to 1,211,000. The previous days saw comparable

fluctuations, wherein on October 27, 2023, the market opened at 3.35, closed at 3.29, and

had a trading volume of 1,297,000. The stock had notable fluctuations on October 4, 2023,

commencing at a value of 3.42 and subsequently attaining a peak of 3.47. However, it also

saw a decline, reaching a nadir of 3.32 before concluding the day at 3.47. These price

movements were accompanied by a substantial trading volume of 1,155,000. In recent

3
5
 HOLYANGELUNIVERSITY

times, the stock has demonstrated a degree of steadiness, consistently concluding within the

range of 3.27 to 3.29. The observed patterns indicate a combination of oscillations and

intervals of relative stability in the stock performance of Petron Corporation.

Petron's President and CEO, Ramon S. Ang, stated that the company's recent

performance demonstrates its ability to prudently manage funds and maintain stability in the

face of market fluctuations. According to him, Petron is actively working on significant

projects at its refinery, terminals, and service stations as part of its expansion strategy. The

goal of these initiatives is to keep Petron a stable, efficient, and thriving oil company.

PHOENIX PETROLEUM PHILIPPINES, INC.

One of the Philippines' most prominent oil companies is Phoenix Petroleum

Philippines Inc. The company engages in the selling and trade of refined petroleum

3

 HOLYANGELUNIVERSITY

products, encompassing gasoline, diesel, and industrial fuels. In addition to its primary

operations, Phoenix Petroleum engages in the operation of gas stations and offers a range

of services including the provision of lubricants and convenience retailing.

Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. has released its financial performance for the

initial quarter concluding on March 31, 2023. The company said it made PHP 43.59 million in

sales in the first quarter, up from PHP 43.19 million in the same time last year. Throughout

its operational years, Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. disclosed that its sales amounted

to PHP 42.07 million, which is in contrast to the PHP 86.63 million reported in the previous

year. The revenue for the current fiscal period amounted to PHP 15,245.31 million, which

represents a decrease from the previous fiscal period's revenue of PHP 23,737.71 million.

The net loss experienced during the current period amounted to PHP 1,621.33 million, which

represents an increase from the net loss of PHP 948.61 million recorded in the

corresponding period of the previous year. The basic loss per share from continuing

operations for the current period amounted to PHP 1.12, which represents an increase from

the previous year's figure of PHP 0.97. The diluted loss per share from continuing operations

for the current period amounted to PHP 1.12, representing an increase from the previous

year's figure of PHP 0.97.

Phoenix Petroleum's stock price has seen a range of positive and negative

movements throughout the specified time frame. From late August to early September,

closing prices seem to have been slowly going up, reaching a high point of P6.99. This

observation suggests a significant level of momentum and probable optimism among

investors during the mentioned period. Moreover, the stock values exhibit a somewhat stable

pattern over the month of October. On October 03, 2023, the stock commenced trading at a

price of 5.65 and concluded the trading session at 6.3. Throughout the day, the stock

experienced a peak trading volume of 37,809,102. The stock has exhibited a degree of

relative stability over the past few days, with its closing price predominantly falling between

3
8
 HOLYANGELUNIVERSITY

the range of 5.99-6.05. The observed patterns indicate a combination of fluctuations and

periods of consistent stock performance for Phoenix Petroleum. The Group saw a significant

decline in revenues during the nine-month period of 2023, with a decrease of 57.2% to P

42.803 billion compared to the P 99.923 billion generated in the corresponding period of

2022. The primary reason for this can be attributed to a significant decline of 46.8% in the

overall quantity of products sold over the comparative periods of 2023 (1,156 million liters)

and 2022 (2,177 million liters).

Persistent economic challenges, such as fluctuating pricing, high interest rates, and

capital limits, have impeded the retail industry's revival. Consequently, the Earnings Before

Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) has exhibited a decrease in each

successive quarter, while the rate of volume expansion for the year 2023 has remained

constant.

Despite the prevailing economic challenges and enduring repercussions of the

epidemic, Henry Albert Fadullon, President of Phoenix Petroleum, has expressed optimism

over the company's positive trajectory of recovery in the current fiscal year. Despite the

problems, they are confident in their long-term ability to grow and will continue to focus on

improving and implementing high-impact programs that will assist them in their recovery.

SHELL PILIPINAS CORPORATION

Philippine Shell Petroleum Corporation's main business is importing and selling

gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, fuel oil, lubricants, bitumen, and other oil-related products.

The anticipated growth of the oil and gas industry in the Philippines will be extremely

beneficial to the Philippine Petroleum and Mineral Corporation (PSPC). In spite of a

demanding economic climate characterized by escalating fuel costs, PSPC shown

resilience by achieving a net income of P4,075,747 during the second quarter of 2023.

Although there was a tiny decline of -1.25% in comparison to the previous year, this can

be mainly attributable to the remarkable increase in prices observed in the first quarter

of 2023. Furthermore, there was a loss of -1.25% in total gross sales, amounting to

P65,292.82. Similarly, the operating income had a decline of -0.59% from its initial value

of P281.28 million. The temporary obstacles experienced by PSPC do not undermine

the company's long-term growth prospects, which are primarily based on the expected

expansion of the Oil and Gas industry.

A high of 14.7 and a low of 14.52 were recorded for PSPC's stock price in August

2023. After experiencing an initial period of volatility, the stock price exhibited a

subsequent decline, with a peak value of 14.68 and a nadir of 14.28 on August 18,

2023. The observed decline continued consistently over the course of the subsequent

month of September, reaching its peak and nadir at 13.92 by the conclusion of the

PHILODRILL CORP.

Philodrill Corporation saw fluctuations in its stock values between August and

December 2022. The stock's high values varied from 0.0082 to 0.011, while its low

values ranged between 0.0073 and 0.0099. Over this period, the stock generally

showed stability with occasional peaks and dips.

In August 2022, the stock stayed relatively consistent, hovering around 0.0084 to

0.0091. October saw slight changes, with highs and closes around 0.0084 and 0.0083,

respectively. Overall, the stock didn't stray much from its usual values, indicating minor

shifts.

Regarding finances, Philodrill had a significant increase in net income during the

second quarter of 2023, hitting P747,251, a marked improvement from the prior year's

performance. However, analysts are concerned about the company's long-term

prospects due to limited operations and potential difficulties in acquiring more

resources.

An investment agent noted that despite a revenue increase of 3.09% from 3.51m

to 3.61m, Philodrill's net income fell by -54.98% from 1.66m to 747.25k year-on-year.

This decline was partially due to rising selling, general, and administrative costs, which

went up from 18.97% to 19.15% as a percentage of sales.

Despite challenges, Philodrill is actively seeking new opportunities in the energy

and mineral sectors to potentially enhance its business ventures' value and future

 HOLYANGELUNIVERSITY

Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), a hub for securities trading, companies are

categorized into distinct sectors, each playing a vital role in the nation's economic

framework. Within this framework, Petron Corporation, a significant player in the oil

industry, showcased notable sales volume growth, particularly within the Philippines,

despite facing revenue declines and fluctuations in stock prices. Despite these

challenges, Petron managed to sustain a consistent operating income, a testament

to its resilience and strategic business acumen.

In contrast, Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc. grappled with declining

revenues and a significant drop in the quantity of products sold, leading to increased

losses. However, amidst these economic headwinds, the company's leadership,

notably President Henry Albert Fadullon, expressed a steadfast commitment to

navigating the challenges, focusing on recovery and implementing impactful

programs to propel the company's growth in the foreseeable future.

Philodrill Corporation faced its own set of market fluctuations, particularly in

stock values, while managing to improve its net income during the second quarter of

2023. However, analysts cautioned about the company's long-term potential due to

operational limitations and concerns about resource acquisition. Despite these

challenges, Philodrill remains focused on exploring new opportunities within the

energy and mineral sectors to augment its business prospects and future growth.

Meanwhile, Philippine Shell Petroleum Corporation (PSPC) encountered

declines in stock prices alongside revenue and operating income, partly attributed to

market fluctuations and escalating fuel costs. Despite these setbacks, PSPC, under

the leadership of President and CEO Lorelie Quiambao-Osial, exhibited resilience

through strategic cost-efficiency initiatives and operational excellence, positioning

the company to capitalize on the anticipated expansion of the oil and gas industry.

Amidst these fluctuations, PXP Energy Corp., an active participant in the

energy sector, grappled with significant stock price fluctuations, indicating potential

market volatility. However, the company's focus remains on diversifying its ventures

within the energy sector, underscoring a commitment to navigating market

uncertainties and seizing new business opportunities.

These distinct trajectories within the oil industry exemplify how various

companies navigated the intricate landscape of the stock market, each employing

unique strategies and demonstrating resilience in the face of economic challenges.

The resilience displayed by these entities echoes their commitment to sustainability,

growth, and adaptation within a dynamic market environment.

VI. CONCLUSION

As the backbone of many industries and drivers of economic growth, gas and oil

are essential to the functioning of the world economy. The idea of energy security is

one of the main justifications for the significance of gas and oil in our economy. Our

homes, companies, and industries are powered by gas and oil, which are essential

energy sources.

Gas and oil companies' stock exchange general relativity is impacted by a number

of specific to an industry variables, economic trends, geopolitical developments,

and changes in the supply and demand for energy. Companies that produce gas

and oil are very vulnerable to changes in the price of commodities. The revenue

and profitability of these companies are directly impacted by changes in the global

prices of gas and oil. The current prices of natural gas and crude oil are frequently

reflected in the stock prices of oil and gas companies.

Finally, the dataset provided sheds light on how dynamically stock prices will move

between July and October of 2023. This data can be used by analysts and

investors to evaluate short-term trends, volatility, and possible influencing factors.

To fully comprehend the stock's performance during this time, however, a more

thorough analysis incorporating additional data and outside factors is required. The

equilibrium between the world's supply and demand for oil and gas directly affects

prices. The profitability of oil and gas companies can be negatively impacted by

overproduction, but demand growth may have a beneficial effect.
