The announcement of China’s stimulus measures has impacted the JCI. Metals miners have seen a 6.8% increase in nickel prices since the announcement due to potentially higher demand for stainless steel. Coal stocks could also benefit even though prices have not rallied. Retailers and importers could potentially see an increase in COGS. We believe that funds could return back to Indonesia from late-Oct 24 onwards. Our top picks are ASII, NCKL, BBNI, BBTN, BSDE, CTRA, SIDO , CMRY, BBYB and ACES.

In Aug 24, car sales recorded a 14th consecutive monthly decline. The weak performance is likely to continue until Dec 24. In Aug 24, BYD recorded sales of 2,940 units and was ranked sixth. Consumer acceptance of BEVs continues to rise and BEVs accounted for sales of 4,725 units in Aug 24 (6.2% of market). The best-selling brand is still Toyota with Toyota Kijang in the top spot. We have a SELL rating on ASII and UNTR. Maintain UNDERWEIGHT on the sector.

Most of the major divisions recorded single-digit NPAT growth or declining NPAT, caused by high interest rates impacting the auto and financial service divisions and low coal prices. We will be more bullish when Bank Indonesia starts to lower the benchmark rate. Maintain SELL with a target price of Rp3,900.

UOB Global Economics & Markets Research expects the US Fed to cut interest rates starting in 3Q24, with a 50bp reduction in 2H24. BI is expected to hold its benchmark rate steady. This could widen the gap between the US Fed rate and the BI’s 7-day repo rate and cause funds to flow back into Indonesian bonds, strengthening the rupiah. Higher GDP growth could also translate to funds flowing back to Indonesian equities. Our top picks are BBCA, BBNI, BMRI, BBTN, BSDE, CTRA, BUKA, CMRY, ACES and JSMR...
