Three of the Philippines’ leading companies under the SM Group have once again secured spots on the prestigious Fortune Southeast Asia 500, marking their third consecutive appearance on the regional ranking and reinforcing their role in driving economic growth across the region.

Leading the group is SM Investments Corporation (SM Investments), which ranked second among the 42 Philippine companies included in this year’s list and placed 28th overall in Southeast Asia. Banking arm BDO Unibank followed as the fifth highest-ranked Philippine company and secured the 52nd regional position, while China Banking Corporation (China Bank) earned the 161st spot on the regional roster.

The annual Fortune Southeast Asia 500 recognizes the region’s largest corporations based on revenue generated during the previous fiscal year. Beyond revenue, the ranking also reflects key business indicators such as profitability, total assets, and workforce, offering a comprehensive snapshot of Southeast Asia’s corporate landscape.

For SM Investments President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic C. DyBuncio, the recognition is a testament to the collective efforts behind the company’s sustained growth.

He emphasized that the achievement reflects the dedication of employees, the continued confidence of customers, and the support of business partners and tenants. He also noted that businesses play an important role in fostering inclusive growth while contributing to stronger trade and economic development across Southeast Asia.

Since the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 was introduced in 2024, SM Investments has consistently earned a place on the list. Published by Fortune magazine, the ranking complements the publication’s globally recognized lists, including the Fortune Global 500, Fortune 500, and Fortune Europe 500.

The continued recognition of SM Investments, BDO, and China Bank highlights the SM Group’s enduring strength across retail, banking, and property. Through these businesses, the Group continues to create opportunities for communities, support economic progress, and deliver long-term value to customers, partners, and stakeholders while remaining committed to sustainable and inclusive development.
