  • Indonesian Banks; We Stick with Our Key Pick Bank Negara (BBNI IJ)


Indonesian Banks; We Stick with Our Key Pick Bank Negara (BBNI IJ)

By Victor Galliano

  • Negara is our top pick in the Indonesian banks, based on our proprietary scorecard; it scores well based on attractive valuations, sound credit quality metrics and potential for improved returns
  • The PB value in Negara is especially apparent relative to Permata; Negara trades at a 50%+ PBV ratio discount to Permata, which we believe is not warranted by the fundamentals
  • We downgrade Mandiri from a buy to a neutral rating; it is no longer, in our view, compelling based on PBV ratio and now looks expensive in PEG ratio terms

Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (AMRT IJ) – Outperforming with Essentials

By Angus Mackintosh

  • Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (AMRT IJ) booked a surprisingly strong set of 1Q2025 results, going against softer consumer sentiment, underlining Alfamart as a supplier of essential goods. 
  • The company cut promotional spending in 1Q2025 by half, which improved profitability by 30% QoQ, but it still booked SSSG of 8.8% YoY, outperforming other consumer staples players. 
  • Alfamart continued to open new stores in 1Q2025, targetting 1,000 new outlets this year. This should help drive growth in 2025, along with SSSG. Valuations remain attractive versus growth prospects.

  • Moreover, the yield on the 30Y UST climbed 12 bps to 5.09%, the highest since October 2023. Equities retreated on concerns over the US’ safe-haven status. The S&P 500 fell 1.6% to 5,845, while the Nasdaq declined 1.4% to 18,873.

  • In the US, retail sales eased to 0.1% m-o-m (0.0% e / 1.7% revised p) in April, driven by lower car sales (after a front-loaded surge in March), as well as declines in several categories of imported items including sporting goods and apparel.
  • This was offset by higher spending at restaurants and bars, which accelerated for a second month.

By Rahul Jain

Criterium Energy Ltd (TSX-V: CEQ): Stepping on the gas

By Auctus Advisors

  • • The staged development of gas discoveries at Tungkal is the primary driver of near-term growth.
  • Assuming flat oil production, bringing just two gas discoveries online could enable Criterium to triple output to ~3 mboe/d and triple 2P reserves by early 2027 • The first discovery to be developed, SE MGH (15 bcf 2C resources), is expected to see resource conversion to reserves in 2025.
  • In early 3Q25, the existing well—previously tested at 8 mmcf/d—will be re-tested, with initial production of 5-7 mmcf/d anticipated by 1Q26.

Multi Bintang Indonesia (MLBI IJ): Slow Start to Q1 FY25

By Sameer Taneja

  • Multi Bintang Indonesia (MLBI IJ) reported Q1 2025 revenues/profits of +1.9%/-4.9% YoY. The company attributes its lackluster quarter to weakness in the mainstream/premium and non-alcoholic segments. 
  • Operating margins declined 210 bps YoY to 36.2% due to an increase in SG&A by 60 bps and a decline in gross profit margins by 150 bps (to 57.8%). 
  • We believe that the company will be able to pay 600/Rph of dividends in FY24, implying ~9% dividend yield. Trading at 11x PE FY24, we still find this idea compelling.
