Indo Tambangraya Megah (ITMG IJ) provides investors with fat dividends. We estimate from 2021-2023e, the company will have paid over 20,000 Rph (70% of the current share price) in dividends.
Despite these dividend payouts, cash on the balance sheet by the end of FY23e will easily exceed one bn USD or about 50% of the market capitalization.
Weak results/degrowth are expected due to unsustainably high coal prices in 2022. Nevertheless, there is a good case for future value as hefty dividends will continue to be paid.


ITMG Q2 2023 Weak But Stock At 20% Dividend Yield with ~50% of Mkt Cap In Cash

<li>There is an excellent margin of safety, with almost 40% of the market capitalization in net cash. With a &gt;65% payout ratio, we will see cash levels build further. </li>

<li>The company will encounter higher costs in FY25 as the B40 biodiesel mandate takes effect. This is expected to put pressure on margins for all coal producers.</li>

ITMG IJ Q4 FY24: Coal Price Decline Squeezes Margins, FY25 Costs To Increase

<ul>
<li>The pivot in capital allocation plans of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/whitehaven-coal-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14253:1" rel="noopener">Whitehaven Coal (WHC AU)</a> by suspending its buyback program (up to 25% of outstanding shares) is a big negative for us. </li>
<li>We think the increase in capex spending in a frothy pricing environment and focus on M&amp;A for spending the 2.6 bn of cash is a coin toss on capital allocation. </li>
