ELSA IJ – What If Elnusa Does Not Need an Upstream Recovery?

By Defriansyah Has

  • D&L is ELSA’s established earnings engine, contributing the largest share of Group profit in every primary-verified year from FY2022–FY2025, including 62.2% in FY2025, despite meaningful volatility in the other segments.
  • 1H2026 confirms acceleration: D&L revenue grew 26.6%, operating profit 50.2%, and segment net profit 54.4%, with half of operating-profit growth driven by revenue/volume and half by margin expansion in tandem.
  • Our Base Case requires no Upstream recovery and values ELSA at Rp934/share, implying 28.8% upside from Rp725 on a modest 7.5x P/E multiple, without credit for seismic conversion or recovery.
