Strategy: Impact Of Cabinet Reshuffle There are changes in the formation of ministers, with the Minister of Finance being a notable replacement. Share prices for big banks go down while cigarette stocks are up. The 2026 budget outlook and fiscal stance are key catalysts. Company Update | Aneka Tambang (ANTM IJ/BUY/Rp3,610/Target: Rp4,000) ANTM’s 2H25 production is set to slow on supply constraints, with 2025 gold sales guided at about 43.8 tonnes (similar to 2024 level) and nickel ore at arou...
Greater China Economics | Trade China’s export momentum softened in August as front-loaded US demand has faded, exposing the vulnerability of shipments to the US market. While the trade diversion supported flows to ASEAN and the EU, overall growth moderated. Imports also weakened amid subdued agricultural demand, despite firmer commodity-related inflows. Pro...

China Tourism Group Duty Free (601888 CH/HOLD/Rmb71.41/Target: Rmb75.30) 2Q25: Net profit down 32% yoy and 66% qoq; fair valuation. Downgrade to HOLD.

Indonesia’s banking sector shows stabilising liquidity but muted credit appetite, with M2 up 6.5% yoy in Jul 25 on foreign inflows while loan growth slowed to 6.6%. Working capital and SME lending remain weak, and continue to weigh on BBRI’s earnings (SMEheavy exposure). Although its CoC rose mom, BBCA remains resilient with its strong liquidity buffers. With the BI’s 75bp ytd cuts and fiscal disbursements, loan demand should recover in 2026. Maintain OVERWEIGHT with BBNI and BBCA as our top pic...
GREATER CHINA Results CSPC Pharmaceutical Group (1093 HK/BUY/HK$10.51/Target: HK$12.00) 1H25: Results miss; expects hoh sales recovery and two more BD deals in 2H25. Ganfeng Lithium (1772 HK/BUY/HK$30.80/Target: HK$40.00) 2Q25: Net loss in line; 3Q25 turnaround on the back of lithium carbonate price recovery. Maintain BUY, target price: HK$40.00. Li Ning (2331 HK/HOLD/HK$19.70/Target: HK$18.90) 1H25: Results beat but challenges remain in 2H25; fa...
Indonesia plans to launch its first gold ETF in 4Q25, led by IDX and OJK, to channel culturally accepted gold investment into a regulated digital investment product. Strong retail appetite, as seen in BRIS and Pegadaian’s gold growth, underpins a potential AUM expansion. As one of the largest gold producers in the world, Indonesia can source bullion locally and integrate domestic miners, Pegadaian, BRIS, refiners (ANTM) and banks into an ecosystem, creating a virtuous circle across the value cha...
Indonesia’s 10-year government bond yield has fallen to 6.3% and could ease further to 6.1% by end-25, narrowing the yield gap with equities. Around 19 JCI stocks offer dividend yields above bond yields, led by SOE banks (>8%) and selected consumers and commodities (filtered by decent liquidity). However, we think HMSP and UNVR are dividend traps, while cyclical resource dividend yields carry risks and rewards that highly depend on the commodity price cycle. Top dividend picks: BBNI and AKRA.
GREATER CHINA Results Galaxy Entertainment Group (27 HK/BUY/HK$40.18/Target: HK$45.00) 2Q25: Normalised EBITDA up 7% qoq; expects reinvestment efficiency to optimise.

Kweichow Moutai (600519 CH/BUY/Rmb1,437.04/Target: Rmb1,722.00) 2Q25: On track to achieve full-year target; expect wholesale price pressure to persist into 2H25. Tencent Music Entertainment Group (1698 HK/BUY/HK$88.30/Target: HK$105.00) ...
Liquidity saw an early improvement in Jun 25 as LDR at major SOE banks eased, current account balances rose, and M2 growth accelerated as government funds shifted out of BI. Coupled with lower SRBI yields, this led to easing monthly CoF. The trend could persist on the back of: a) continued unwinding of SRBI and lower yields, b) potential rate cuts in 2H25, and c) stronger fiscal spending in 2H25, supporting modest sequential earnings improvements ahead. Maintain OVERWEIGHT with top picks BBNI an...
GREATER CHINA Results BeOne Medicines (6160 HK/BUY/HK$182.70/Target: HK$240.00): 2Q25: Results beat; expects revenue and margins to expand further.

BBRI’s 2Q25 results are showing early signs of stabilisation in funding and asset quality, though earnings remain under pressure from high provisioning and soft micro growth. The bank is shifting towards consumers and corporate lending to diversify its risks. NIM is expected to remain strong, supported by funding mix and a higher contribution from Pegadaian. We reduce our 2025 net profit forecast by 5.0% and lower our target price to Rp4,250. BBRI offers an 8.3% dividend yield (DPR: 85%). Mainta...

SINGAPORE ...
We expect the banking sector’s 1H25 results to be broadly in line with expectations, despite a possible underperformance from BBRI and BRIS. BBCA remains strong while BBNI and BMRI should post muted earnings growth. NIM pressure is likely to persist due to tight liquidity. Loan growth decelerated but is expected to recover in 2H25. NPLs for auto and mortgage are inching up, but overall asset quality remains sound. We maintain OVERWEIGHT, supported by a dovish BI policy, easing SRBI yields and ex...
