We downgrade TLKM to HOLD with a lower target price of Rp2,600 due to several factors: a) other telcos’ expansion to outer Java may result in a lower premium for Telkomsel’s data pricing vs its peers; b) weak macroeconomic conditions could limit its ability to raise data pricing; and c) we conservatively expect only slight growth in EBITDA (2% yoy) and NPAT (3% yoy) for 2025. Potential catalyst: a potential dividend yield of 7.7% (depending on AGM, likely in May), assuming a 80% payout.
