Hi there,
Great question! Finding reliable historical stock price data is crucial for backtesting strategies and performing technical analysis. Here are some of the best places where you can download historical data for Philippine-traded stocks, ranging from free and easy options to more comprehensive sources:
For Quick and Easy Downloads (Free)
Investing.com: This is a very popular and user-friendly option. You can find historical data for individual stocks and the PSEi. The data is available in daily, weekly, and monthly formats and can be easily downloaded as a CSV file.
- How to: Search for a specific stock (e.g., "SM Prime Holdings"), go to the "Historical Data" tab, set your desired date range, and click the "Download Data" button.
Yahoo Finance: A classic and reliable source for financial data. It provides extensive historical data that can be downloaded as a CSV file.
- How to: Search for a stock (be sure to add ".PS" for Philippine stocks, e.g., "SMPH.PS"), click on the "Historical Data" tab, select the time period, and click "Download."
Official and Government Sources
PSE EDGE (Electronic Disclosure Generation Technology): This is the official disclosure portal of the Philippine Stock Exchange. While it's the most accurate source for all company disclosures, it's not the most straightforward for downloading bulk historical price data. However, you can find historical price information on a per-stock basis under the "Stock Data" tab on a company's page.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP): The BSP website provides a wealth of economic and financial data. You can find historical data for the PSEi and other market indices in their statistical database, often in Excel format. This is a great source for macroeconomic data to complement your stock analysis.
For More Advanced Charting and Analysis
- TradingView: While primarily a charting platform, TradingView allows you to export chart data. If you have a premium subscription, you can export data for individual stocks. The free version is excellent for analysis, but data export is limited.
I hope this helps you get the data you need. Happy analyzing!
