We expect the impact on Indo-US export flows to be manageable as a 10-20% tariff is unlikely to compensate for the US’ high labour cost. The risk may come from Indo-China trade as a sizeable amount of exports to China are commodities. We focus on sectors likely to benefit from domestic policies − banks, auto, property, technology and consumer − while reducing positions in commodities. Our BUYS: BBNI, BBRI, BBTN, BSDE, CTRA, CMRY, ACES, GOTO and ASII. Trim: ADRO, ITMG and INCO.

Lower nickel prices in 1Q24 caused INCO’s 1Q24 EBITDA and NPAT to fall significantly. 1Q24 EBITDA came in at US$52.4m, down 46.8% qoq and 69.8% yoy, while core net profit came in at US$19.1m, down 26.2% qoq and 80.6% yoy, below our and market expectations. Looking forward, we expect an improvement in 2Q24 profit as nickel prices inched higher, with 2024 EBITDA reaching US$272m (-42.8% yoy) and NPAT reaching US$104m (-62.0% yoy). Maintain HOLD with a lower target price of Rp3,800.
INCO will issue 6.07% new shares as part of the share divestment obligation to the government of Indonesia. The ratio of the rights issue will be 500 new shares for every 8,233 old shares with an exercise price of Rp3,050/share, and the maximum proceeds could reach Rp1.8t. We think investors could consider exercising their rights given a potential capital gain of 1.7%. Maintain HOLD with a target price of Rp4,300.

The ban on Russian metals, especially aluminium, copper and nickel, could benefit Indonesian metal miners as prices hiked on fears of tighter supply. Escalating tensions in the Middle East also drove gold prices higher. Our sensitivity analysis showed that MDKA will benefit the most if metal prices continue rising, followed by INCO and NCKL. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the mining sector as we think that the fluctuation in metal prices might be temporary. Top pick: NCKL.

INCO reported 4Q23 NPAT of US$53.2m (+66.3% yoy), driven by higher nickel deliveries and a gain on recognition of fair value of derivative asset. 2023 NPAT rose 36.9% yoy to US$274m. For 2024, we expect EBITDA to reach US$317m (-33.4% yoy) with NPAT of US$139m (-49.3% yoy) as we expect an average 2024 LME nickel price of US$17,000/ tonne. Maintain HOLD with a target price of Rp4,300 as we think the recent share price decline was mainly due to temporary sentiment.
We reduce our 2024 and 2025 nickel price assumptions to US$16,500/tonne and US$17,000/tonne respectively considering the weak demand due to the uncertainties in China’s economic recovery and increasing refined nickel productions. 2024-25 earnings growth could be softer and remain supported by the expansion in production capacity, higher sales, and lower production costs. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the mining sector. NCKL is our top pick. Downgrade MDKA and INCO to HOLD.

INCO’s NPAT declined 25.3% qoq to US$52.6m in 3Q23, driven by lower ASP, slightly higher cost of revenue and higher operating expenses. 9M23 NPAT rose 31.3% yoy to US$221m, within expectations and accounting for 83% and 82% of our and consensus’ 2023 NPAT forecast respectively. 2023 NPAT is still on track to grow 32.2% yoy to US$265m, with a potential 4.9% yoy decline in 2024 due to lower average nickel price.

Risk of slower global (including China) economic growth in 2024 could result in lower nickel and copper prices. We expect 2023/24 nickel prices to average US$22,000/tonne and US$20,000/tonne respectively and 2023/24 copper prices to average US$3.82/lb and US$3.68/lb respectively. Gold prices could rise to US$2,050/toz in 2024 from US$1,940/toz in 2023 on rising tension in the Middle East. Downgrade to MARKET WEIGHT on the mining sector. NCKL is our top pick.
