Perusahaan Listrik (PLN) – Tear Sheet – Lucror Analytics

By Leonard Law, CFA

  • We view Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) as “Low Risk” on our LARA scale, primarily driven by the company’s strategic importance to Indonesia and SOE status (100% owned by the government).
  • PLN controls a 62% share of Indonesia’s upstream power generation, and is also the country’s sole downstream electric utility.
  • The company plays a critical role in ensuring affordable and reliable access to electricity for the population, as well as helping Indonesia transition to cleaner energy in the upstream sector (away from coal).

  • In the US, January new home sales fell 10.5% m-o-m to a three-month low of 657 k annualised units (680 k e / 734 k p). The decline reflects weather conditions (as several regions experienced record snowfall in January), as well as affordability concerns amid high prices and mortgage rates. Separately, building permits fell 0.6% (-0.7% p) in the same month.
  • Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said the US central bank should hold interest rates where they are and retain a “restrictive posture”. He added: “You can say that we are hitting our employment mandate, and now we have to get the price stability mandate under control.”
