Why you should invest URC stocks
- Food is king. URC is the market leader in numerous snack food categories.
- URC’s corporate life is 50 years old already and I’m sure it will be here for another 50 years or more.

- URC’s products are distributed to approximately 120,000 outlets in the country. Yes, that includes SM 🙂
- They also export their products
- Stock price is not that expensive compared to other big companies (around 190 as of now). I know stock prices are not so relevant to the real value of a company but for a giant company like URC, I think it’s safe to say it’s perfect for long term.
- Their stocks are not typically cyclical and seasonal
If you bought 5000 shares of URC stocks 4 years ago, its value as of now is around 950,000.
