This week in StubWorld ...



Jardine Cycle &amp; Carriage (JCNC SP), relative to Astra International (ASII IJ), is around record-lows outside the Covid-affect low last year. This is occurring amid recent corporate developments within the Jardine stable of companies.



Preceding my comments on JCNC are the weekly setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.


These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity threshold of US$1mn on a 90-day moving average, and a % market capitalisation threshold - the $ value of the holding/opco held, over the parent’s market capitalisation, expressed in percent - of at least 20%.

Astra International (ASII IJ) announced its 1H2021 results with sales increasing by +20% YoY and headline net profit decreasing by -22% YoY but removing the impact of the Bank Permata (BNLI IJ) sale last year, net profit increased by an impressive +61% YoY.
The better numbers were driven by a strong improvement in the auto business, with car sales up +50% YoY and motorcycle sales +29% YoY.
The group was also a beneficiary of higher commodity prices in 1H2021, which boosted the performance of its heavy equipment and mining business under United Tractors (UNTR IJ) and its agribusiness under Astra Agro Lestari (AALI IJ), which saw net profit +14% YoY and +66% YoY respectively.  
The group consumer finance business saw a +13% increase in the amounts financed with an increase of +2% in net profit growth. Car finance saw a +2% increase and motorcycle finance a +3% YoY increase in net profit, while heavy equipment finance saw a +46% increase in the amounts financed by a -20% decrease in contribution due to a reduced loan portfolio. 
United Tractors (UNTR IJ) saw a +13% increase in net income with a +60% increase in Komatsu heavy equipment sales and helped by higher coal prices. Astra Agro Lestari (AALI IJ)saw a boost from higher crude palm oil prices, which rose +29% in 1H2021.

Astra International (ASII IJ) remains relatively cautious on the outlook given the current wave of COVID-19 cases but the company is well-positioned to weather any delay in an economic recovery but also to take advantage of any potential opportunities, given its rock-solid balance sheet. Astra International (ASII IJ) is trading on 10.6x FY2021E PER and 9.1x FY2022E PER versus its 5-year average forward PER of 14.2x, making it attractive from a valuation perspective. It remains one of our top recovery picks for Indonesia, given its exposure to autos, motorcycles, consumer finance, heavy equipment, and commodities.
