Abacus Securities expects new online gaming platforms from Philippine integrated resorts to put pressure on DigiPlus’s margins, while forecasting the company will retain its short-term market position. It expects second-quarter 2026 revenue to fall 20% to 25% year on year, citing a higher comparison base, e-wallet delinking and weaker consumer spending; PAGCOR had previously cited the effect of the Iran war on spending.

DigiPlus told the Philippine Stock Exchange that it is assessing expansion into adjacent sectors and has not completed any transactions. The statement followed a report that it had approached Diamond Hotel Philippines owner Ramon S. Ang; DigiPlus said no definitive deal had been made.
Maybank Securities cut its DigiPlus revenue forecasts by 12% for 2026 and 18% for 2027, citing expectations of fewer monthly active users as the company shifts towards monetising existing customers. The brokerage expects margins to improve, partly following a commercial agreement with International Entertainment that Maybank said allows DigiPlus to apply a lower tax rate to integrated casinos. Maybank also said its forecasts exclude potential contributions from DigiPlus operations in South Africa and Brazil.
