We believe the domestic royalty hike risk has been largely priced in by the market. While we conservatively project a 2.9% yoy earnings decline in 2025 due to lower nickel prices and higher royalty costs, INCO’s medium-term growth outlook remains intact, underpinned by new mines coming online from late-25 through to 2026. Given the recent sharp share price correction, we upgrade INCO to BUY with a lower target price of Rp3,000, implying 6.9x 2025F EV/EBITDA.

Earnings are expected to grow 18% yoy to US$73m, supported by higher EBIT but tempered by increased interest costs from US$700m capex.

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.

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.
