The weak 4W and 2W sales in 3M25 were caused by weak purchasing power amid a weakening rupiah, slow government spending, and stricter auto-loan financing given tighter liquidity, in our view. Amid rising tensions caused by the tariff war and concerns on aggressive EV penetration, ASII’s auto sales outlook remains relatively soft in 2025-26, although the market share disruption is more apparent for other conventional non-EV brands. Cut our target price to Rp5,100. Downgrade to HOLD.
