American mining giant Freeport Mcmoran (FCX US) will not proceed with plans to build a new copper smelter with China’s Tsingshan Holding Group in Indonesia, according to PT Freeport Indonesia.
The fact that this deal will not go ahead is a positive for AKR Corporindo (AKRA IJ) as Freeport Mcmoran (FCX US) is scheduled to build a smelter at its JIIPE (Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate) Industrial estate, and this news cements that deal.
Freeport Mcmoran (FCX US) has confirmed it will go ahead with plans to build a new smelter near its existing copper refining operations at the JIIPE Industrial estate in Gresik and has signed an EPC contract with Japanese engineering company Chiyoda Corp (6366 JP) to build the plant.
This is a significant development for AKR Corporindo (AKRA IJ) to have this confirmation of Freeport Mcmoran (FCX US) as an anchor tenant for JIIPE as it will draw many more investors in industries related to copper like electric vehicle (EV) batteries to the JIIPE Estate.
JIIPE should also see more focus given its recently granted special economic zone status (KEK) status, with healthy land enquiries which should enable the company to increase marketing sales for this year, currently forecast at 35 ha. 


AKR Corporindo (AKRA IJ) is due to announce 1H2021 results toward the end of July, with the expectation of a strong set of numbers similar to Q12021 with profit growth of more than +25%.





The company is trading on 11.1x FY21E PER and 11.0x FY22E PER versus its 5-year average forward PER of 17.2x, which makes it look attractive from a valuation perspective.
