ISAT recorded a 6M25 EBITDA of Rp12.9t, slightly below our and consensus forecasts. 6M25 EBITDA fell 4% yoy amid challenging business conditions. 6M25 core NPAT amounted to Rp2.2t, below our and consensus expectations. Despite signs of a potentially healthier data pricing environment in the long term, the relatively challenging business environment might limit the company’s short-term (organic) growth momentum. Downgrade to HOLD with a lower target price of Rp2,400.

We upgrade EXCL to BUY and raise our target price to Rp2,600 (16.6% upside) as it benefits in the medium to long term from its recent merger (Apr 25) with a small telco (FREN), despite the unfavourable impact to its 2025 NPAT. Our upgrade factors in the following: a) EXCL’s 2025 subscriber base could expand by 61% yoy, b) we could see strong growth in revenue (28% yoy) and EBITDA (16% yoy) for 2025, and c) the company targets annual run-rate (pre-tax) synergies of US$300m-400m post-integration.

Telecommunications – 1Q25: EBITDA Stable At -0.8% qoq
In 1Q25, the combined EBITDA of Indonesia’s big telcos dropped 6% yoy, but was stable qoq. Combined 1Q25 NPAT was also slightly lower (2% yoy). Among the big three telcos, ISAT and Telkomsel (majority owned by TLKM) gained market share in 1Q25 (based on EBITDA) vs 4Q24. We are monitoring TLKM’s upcoming AGM (27 May) as we expect a potential dividend yield of around 7% (assuming an 80% payout). Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the telecommunications sector with ISAT as our top pick.

XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera (EXCL IJ) - 1Q25: EBITDA Down 3% yoy; Downgr...
We downgrade XLSMART to HOLD with a lower target price of Rp2,400, partly considering the time needed for XLSMART to realise synergies which are (pre-tax) estimated at US$300m-400m. XLSMART could start to report its performance as a merged entity between XL Axiata and Smartfren in 2Q25 (legally merged in Apr 25). XL Axiata reported that its 1Q25 EBITDA (in line) decreased slightly by 3% yoy. XL Axiata’s 1Q25 NPAT (Rp385b) was below our and consensus full-year estimates.

Telecommunications – 4Q24: NPAT Down Slightly By 2% yoy
Big Telcos’ 4Q24 EBITDA was roughly stable (-0.2%) qoq, but declined slightly by 4% yoy Meanwhile, combined 4Q24 net profit fell slightly by 2% yoy, but rose 11% qoq. During 4Q24, EXCL slightly increased its market share (based on EBITDA) among the top three telcos. We downgrade the telecommunications sector to MARKET WEIGHT from OVERWEIGHT as we expect TLKM, the parent company of Telkomsel (market leader), to book only a slightly moderate top-line growth of 2% yoy in 2025. Our top pick is ISAT.
