XL Axiata (EXCL IJ) – Are You Converegent?

By Angus Mackintosh

  • XL Axiata (EXCL IJ) results were encouraging with +8% revenue growth driven by data (95.5% of service revenues), with stable ARPUs and price competition easing during 1Q2022.
  • The march towards being truly converged continues with the completion of the Link Net acquisition giving it a significant leg up and due for completion on 27th May.
  • XL Axiata remains our top pick amongst Indonesia’s telcos, with the highest exposure to data and Indonesia’s headlong growth into all things digital and compelling valuations.

Mitra Keluarga Karysehat (MIKA IJ) – Back to the Business of Patient Health

By Angus Mackintosh

  • Mitra Keluarga Karyasehat released 1Q2022 results recently which reflected a changing patient mix with less COVID-related patients and a recovery in its core patient business. 
  • Hospital occupancy is rising whilst Mitra Keluarga is also increasing bed numbers but margins have been impacted by changing patient mix but this is a positive long-term trend.
  • Mitra Keluarga Karyasehat (MIKA IJ) remains a key proxy for rising healthcare penetration in Indonesia, with valuation attractive from a historical basis.
