By | Daily Briefs, Indonesia

In today’s briefing:

  • Barito Renewables Energy (BREN IJ): Global Index Inclusion Likely This Month
  • Multi Bintang Indonesia (MLBI IJ): Anticipating Strong Q4 FY24, 80% ROCE, and >9% Dividend Yield


Barito Renewables Energy (BREN IJ): Global Index Inclusion Likely This Month

By Brian Freitas

  • Barito Renewables Energy (BREN IJ) stock has gone through a series of gyrations as index inclusion was announced and then retracted due to the concentrated holding of the stock.
  • With pre-IPO PE/VC investors selling some stock, the increase in float could result in the inclusion of Barito Renewables Energy (BREN IJ) in a global index later this month.
  • The inclusion of the stock in the index will require passive trackers to buy just over 400m shares of the stock. That is over 14x ADV and will be impactful.

Multi Bintang Indonesia (MLBI IJ): Anticipating Strong Q4 FY24, 80% ROCE, and >9% Dividend Yield

By Sameer Taneja

  • Multi Bintang Indonesia (MLBI IJ)  saw significant inflection in Q3 FY24, with revenue and net profit growth of 21.9% and 35%, respectively. Strong growth is anticipated in Q4’s high season.
  • Our confidence in MLBI’s Q4 stems from Bali’s impressive tourism statistics, registering a 17% YoY increase in Q3 FY24 and 19% YoY in Q4 FY24 (up to November).
  • With a 10.4x FY24e PE valuation, over 9% dividend yield, and historical ROCEs surpassing 80%, we believe the share price is at a turning point.

  • Wintermar has net cash, putting it in a strong position to increase its fleet into the upcycle driven by increased offshore exploration in Southeast Asia. Valuations remain attractive.

  • Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia (ACES IJ) – Rebranded as AZKO


Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia (ACES IJ) – Rebranded as AZKO

By Angus Mackintosh

  • Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia (ACES IJ) has forged ahead with its rebranding after ending its licensing agreement with ACES US, changing its store branding to AZKO from 1st January 2025.
  • The new branding has already been rolled out to several stores but the company has given a 3-month window for all storefronts to be completed across Indonesia. 
  • We view this rebranding exercise as an opportunity for the company to lift sales further through heavy promotions and a more aggressive store rollout. Valuations remain attractive relative to history.
