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.

Indonesian Banks – Re-Iterate Buy on Value and Growth-Potential Bank Mandiri (BMRI IJ)

By Victor Galliano

  • We believe that, despite the macro-economic challenges of Indonesia, investor sentiment is no longer worsening and may even be improving as reflected in the banks’ PBV ratio trends
  • We re-iterate our buy rating on Bank Mandiri for its improving return trends, solid credit quality, attractive valuations and its asset-sensitivity at a time of higher benchmark rates
  • Mandiri also has relatively limited exposure to domestic government bonds, which should limit any hit to core capital at this time of high bond yields

In today’s briefing:

  • Primer: Fast Food Indonesia (FAST IJ) – Sep 2026


Primer: Fast Food Indonesia (FAST IJ) – Sep 2026

By αSK Primers

  • PT Fast Food Indonesia Tbk (FAST IJ) holds an entrenched leadership position in Indonesia’s quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector as the sole franchisee of KFC and Taco Bell, underpinned by strategic sponsorship from the Gelael family and the Salim Group.
  • Financial performance exhibits early operational stabilization following severe margin erosion during 2023–2024 caused by raw material cost inflation and geopolitical consumer boycott headwinds, with annual revenue holding at IDR 4.88T in FY25 and Q1 2026 marking a brief inflection to positive net profitability.
  • Balance sheet deleveraging, store network rationalization toward capital-efficient compact formats, and gross margin defense remain critical to restoring sustainable return on equity, as an elevated P/B multiple of 8.7x reflects a depleted equity base rather than premium fundamental earnings power.

  • Primer: Reliance Sekuritas Indonesia (RELI IJ) – Aug 2026


Asian Bond Monitor: No Final Whistle

By Warut Promboon

  • What has changed since our July ABM is that the ceasefire we carefully described did not hold, and oil has round-tripped roughly halfway back toward war-peak levels.
  • Fixed rate bonds that rely on discretionary spending should underperform floating rate bonds while the beneficiaries of the trade have shifted from energy exposure toward carry and short-duration positioning.
  • We remain positive on Asian credit fundamentals and, for those who must invest in fixed rate bonds, we list 9 bonds which we like at the time of this report

BBRI:IJ— The Growth Cannot Be Financed Twice

By Defriansyah Has

  • $BBRI is still growing, with loans up 12.23% YoY in 5M26. But the economics are deteriorating: NIM fell to 5.87%, while May-26 credit costs moved beyond the historical range.
  • A high payout ratio leaves only 7.98% of earnings retained, implying just 1.39% internal growth and raising the question of how sustained book-value growth can be financed.
  • Our Residual Income Model estimates intrinsic value at Rp2,952–Rp3,710, with the valuation less sensitive to near-term ROE recovery than the operating outlook suggests.
