<li>Ace Hardware Indonesia has been rebranded to <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/aspirasi-hidup-indonesia-tbk" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12808:1" rel="noopener">Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia</a> after the franchise agreement with ACE US was not renewed. Given ACES's long-standing independence, we see this as an opportunity. </li>
<li>The new names for the company will not be the brand names for the stores and Ace Hardware products are a tiny portion of the Indonesian company's SKUs anyway.</li>
<li>Concerns over the separation look overblown with ACES seeing a strong YTD performance above guidance with valuations looking attractive after recent share price weakness, with new store rollout ongoing.</li>

Ace Hardware Indonesia has been rebranded to Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia after the franchise agreement with ACE US was not renewed. Given ACES's long-standing independence, we see this as an opportunity. 
The new names for the company will not be the brand names for the stores and Ace Hardware products are a tiny portion of the Indonesian company's SKUs anyway.
Concerns over the separation look overblown with ACES seeing a strong YTD performance above guidance with valuations looking attractive after recent share price weakness, with new store rollout ongoing.
