BBRI, BMRI and BBNI raised their 2024 DPRs, with share buybacks planned while maintaining their high-teens capital buffer. SOE banks saw major leadership changes.

Maintain OVERWEIGHT. Our top picks are: BBCA>BMRI>BBNI> BRIS>BBRI.

We mainly discussed macroeconomics, politics and Danantara with Taiwan investors. With government spending and the current political dynamics, we expect maturing SRBI to lift liquidity as its outstanding SRBI size accounts for about 10% of the industry’s deposits. The JCI’s PE valuation seems undemanding, at a 30% discount to its five-year historical average, but a sustained re-rating would require greater clarity on government policy execution and a clearer pro-mass market growth shift in econo...

SOE banks’ shareholder meeting will be held in late-Mar 25. We expect changes in management and high DPR. With BBRI/BMRI/BBNI’s DPR assumptions of 85%/60%/60%, banks offer a 9.3%/7.7%/8.0% dividend yield. With the government targeting a Rp200t dividend from SOEs (2023: Rp82t), we foresee higher-than-expected DPR. The high CET 1 and moderate loan growth target could allow banks to raise DPR. A 10bp increase in our DPR assumption will result in a 30-50bp decline in CET 1 ratio, ceteris paribus.
Banking: Potential upside from high DPR. Triputra Agro Persada (TAPG IJ/BUY/Rp770/Target: Rp940): 4Q24: Results a strong beat, with core net profit surging 172% qoq, led by sharp production recovery on top of higher ASPs. TRADERS’ CORNER Indika Energy (INDY IJ): Technical BUY Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur (ICBP IJ): Technical BUY
We think the current trajectory of the JCI presents a buying opportunity as: a) it is now trading at -2SD PE, similar to the levels seen during the pandemic, although the current situation may not be as severe; b) GDP is still expected to rise above 5%; and c) many programmes are driven by the government. We add defensive names with strong growth and attractive valuations to our recommendations. Our picks are BBCA, BBTN, CMRY, ICBP, KLBF, CTRA, AMRT, PGEO, TLKM and ISAT.
Strategy: Catching A Falling Knife Or Opportunity To Buy? We Say Buy: Our picks are BBCA, BBTN, CMRY, ICBP, KLBF, CTRA, AMRT, PGEO, TLKM and ISAT. We have a lower end-25 target of 7,500 for the JCI. TRADERS’ CORNER Unilever Indonesia (UNVR IJ): Technical BUY Merdeka Copper Gold (MDKA IJ): Technical BUY
4Q24 net profit was down 3.7% qoq, but was up 12.3% yoy on the back of: a) strong loan growth, b) 10bp NIM expansion, and c) 70bp decline in CoC. Management provides lower than expected loan growth with stable NIM. However, we believe the bank could deliver better than its guidance given its ample liquidity, CASA-dominated funding, strong CAR, and robust coverage. We make no significant changes to our estimates. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price: Rp12,000.

Ytd net foreign sell-off has continued for some Indonesian banks which we believe provided attractive entry prices. Amid the headwinds from the uncertainty of rate cuts, tighter liquidity, and government policies, BBCA and BRIS could deliver double-digit earnings growth in 2024/25. Given its low LDR and strong CASA franchise, BBCA has room to manage its NIM. Hajj Wadiah savings accounts, the gold financing business, and bancassurance could be earnings growth drivers for BRIS in 2025.
Feedback from investors during our annual strategy conference in Malaysia showed that they remain cautious on Indonesian banks as they are less optimistic about the rate cut outlook and liquidity tightening. We believe that higher government spending, which focuses on boosting consumption, could revitalise the domestic economy. Valuation is attractive as the big four banks are trading close to the mean five-year P/B. We maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector. Top picks: BBCA, BMRI, BBNI, BRIS and BBT...
Trump 2.0 is unlikely to deter Indonesia’s exports to the US as Indonesia should be able to maintain its cost competitiveness. Interest rates are likely to be reduced by 100bp in 2025 and our economist continues to foresee a stronger rupiah. For 2025, investors should focus on the beneficiaries of domestic policies, such as the automobile, banking, consumer, property and technology sectors. Our top picks are BBCA, BBNI, BMRI, BBTN, ASII, SMRA, CTRA, GOTO, CMRY, ACES, SIDO and KLBF.
Strategy: Focus On Beneficiaries Of Domestic Policies: Our top picks are BBCA, BBNI, BMRI, BBTN, ASII, SMRA, CTRA, GOTO, CMRY, ACES, SIDO and KLBF. We have an end-25 target of 8,200 for the JCI. TRADERS’ CORNER Mitra Keluarga Karyasehat (MIKA IJ): Technical BUY Bank Mandiri (BMRI IJ): Technical BUY
