Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM IJ) – Transforming with a Digital Core

By Angus Mackintosh

  • Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM IJ) results reflect a company increasingly digital in nature with legacy services fading away and an increasing focus on building both quality infrastructure and subscribers. 
  • Despite losing subscribers last year, customer data consumption picked up and the ARPUs also improved reflecting a more profitable subscriber base. Indihome continues to see growth in its customer base.
  • Telkom continues to strengthen its presence in the cloud business and data centres as future growth drivers. Valuations are attractive versus historical levels with strong growth prospects ahead. 

AKR Corporindo (AKRA IJ) – Smelting Upwards

By Angus Mackintosh

  • AKR Corporindo (AKRA IJ) booked an impressive set of numbers significantly above consensus with net profit increasing +117% YoY driven by strong performance across all segments.
  • Trading & Distribution will be driven by both the demand for petroleum products together with chemicals, especially from the increasing number of smelters in Indonesia, both for copper and nickel.
  • JIIPE industrial estate booked 44.5 ha of sales, above guidance, with expectations for 70-75 hectares of land sales this year. Valuations are significantly below the historical average and consensus low.

BSDE IJ: Bumi Serpong Damai: Weak 1H18

By BOS Research

  • Earnings fall 80% YoY on slow revenue recognition, higher interest expense and FX loss. 1H18 presales momentum remains strong.
  • TP lowered to IDR2,000, valuations look undemanding.
  • With a vast and low cost landbank centred on its BSD City township, BSDE offers attractive exposure to Indonesia’s long term growth in property demand, especially in the wealthy Greater Jakarta region.
