Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV) has secured a place on the 2026 Fortune Southeast Asia 500, marking its third consecutive year on the ranking of the region’s largest companies by revenue.

The company said the recognition reflects the strength of its diversified portfolio and its continued investments across key sectors, including power, infrastructure, banking, food and beverages, and data science.

Published annually by Fortune, the Southeast Asia 500 ranks the region’s largest companies by revenue and serves as a benchmark for corporate scale, performance, and economic impact. UnionBank, the Aboitiz Group’s banking and financial services arm, also made this year’s list.

“Being included once again in the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 is a reflection of our people, our partners, and the trust they continue to place in us,” said Sabin M. Aboitiz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aboitiz Equity Ventures.

As the active portfolio manager of the Aboitiz Group, AEV oversees businesses spanning power, banking and financial services, infrastructure, food and beverages, real estate, economic estates, and data science. The company said its strategy is anchored on disciplined capital allocation and long-term investments that strengthen its portfolio and create new growth opportunities.

Among its major developments in 2025 was AboitizPower’s acquisition of the Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan (CBK) hydroelectric power complex, which expanded the group’s renewable energy portfolio. The company also highlighted Aboitiz InfraCapital’s partnership with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), part of BlackRock, to support critical infrastructure development.

AEV said these initiatives form part of its broader effort to strengthen market-leading businesses while investing in future-ready industries.

The company also reiterated its goal of becoming the Philippines’ first “techglomerate,” integrating technology, data science, and artificial intelligence across its businesses to improve operations, enhance customer experiences, and unlock new growth opportunities.

“More than a recognition of size, this distinction reflects our ability to evolve, adapt, and create meaningful impact,” Aboitiz said.

“As a portfolio manager, we are focused on strengthening our businesses today while investing in the opportunities of tomorrow. Guided by innovation and a long-term perspective, we remain committed to helping build a better and more sustainable future for the Philippines and the region,” he added.

Fortune evaluates companies based primarily on revenue, alongside other financial indicators such as profits, assets, equity, and market value. The annual ranking highlights the companies helping drive Southeast Asia’s growth as one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions.

As AEV continues expanding its energy, infrastructure, and technology investments, how will these initiatives shape the group’s role in the Philippines’ long-term economic and energy development?
