<p>According to market sources, Bukalapak plans to raise around US$800m in an IPO in Jakarta on the IDX potentially by the end of July, making it the first Indonesian unicorn to list on the local bourse. This would potentially be followed by a SPAC merger in the US, which would value the company at US$4bn-5bn versus the last valuation range of US$2.5-3.0bn. </p>

<p>Based on the available financial information and recent indications of growth prospects and the path to profitability, we see the suggested valuations as achievable and find Bukalapak an attractive prospect.  </p>

<p>In 2017, the company started Mitra Bukalapak, which focused on digitalizing the sourcing of products for offline warungs and small kiosks, increasing the range of products and reducing their sourcing costs plus improving margins.</p>
<p>Bukalapak now has more than 7m kiosks and 6m merchants on the platform, which provides a self-sustaining ecosystem, which does not demand high levels of promotional activity. </p>
<p>Bukalapak saw +70% growth in its GMV last year and +130% growth in transactions, with around 34m MAUs and it should achieve +50% growth this year on the current run-rate according to management.</p>
<p>We look at the implied valuations given limited financial information. The company is further along the road to profitability than its e-commerce peers, given its differentiated strategy.</p>

We look at the implied valuations given limited financial information. The company is further along the road to profitability than its e-commerce peers, given its differentiated strategy.
The platform has already attracted some high profile investors including Microsoft Corp (MSFT US) and Standard Chartered (STAN LN), both of which see opportunities to collaborate with Bukalapak.

One obvious beneficiary of this IPO will be Emtek (EMTK IJ), which owns over 30% of Bukalapak, in that the investment should realise a higher valuation through its listing. There is also a potential that Grab (0967655D SP) may look to collaborate with Bukalapak in some way, given it has taken a 4% stake in Emtek (EMTK IJ).

After the failed attempt to merge with Gojek and the decision to take the SPAC route to market in the US, Grab (0967655D SP) has now reportedly taken a 4% stake in local digital and media powerhouse, Emtek (EMTK IJ). It seems unlikely that this is purely a strategic stake and points the way toward future collaboration potentially in a number of areas.

Emtek (EMTK IJ) remains a very interesting locally listed alternative to play digital media, e-commerce, and digital payments under one roof, with aspirations to emulate the success of  Sea Ltd (SE US).

In another related and interesting turn, Bukalapak, which is Indonesia's 3rd largest e-commerce firm 35% owned by Emtek (EMTK IJ) has raised an undisclosed sum from BRI Ventures, the venture capital arm of Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI IJ). 

Bukalapak claims that it now has around 13.5m MSMEs on its platform and over 100m users on its online to offline (O20) platform. 
The merged Gojek (1379371D IJ) and Tokopedia PT (1087142D IJ) entity to be named "GoTo" will be a formidable competitor for Grab, a risk not highlighted enough in the seeming euphoria around the Grab SPAC listing.
Another significant risk to Grab comes from recently launched ShopeeFood in Indonesia, which will directly impact Grab's (and Gojek's) food delivery business in Indonesia.
From a SotP point of view for Emtek (EMTK IJ), it is difficult to get much beyond a US$4bn valuation but there are those arguing that it should be valued along the same lines as Sea Ltd (SE US), which would suggest potential significant upside from here.
