Megawide swings back to profitability

MANILA  -The sale of its stake in the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) boosted the bottom line of Megawide Construction Corp. last year, allowing it to return to profitability.

In a disclosure on Monday, the listed company noted that its net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to P3.58 billion last year, a reversal of P342.99 million in losses in 2021.
