The JCI declined 3.3% in Apr 24 and our portfolio managed to outperform slightly, delivering a -3.2% return. The biggest gainers were SIDO (+15.2%), EXCL (+6.8%) and ACES (+3.7%). The largest losers were BBTN (-17.6%), MAPI (-16%) and CTRA (-9.8%). We think the JCI is likely to deliver another negative return in May 24. We removed EXCL, MAPI and CTRA, and add TLKM and BSDE. Our picks are BSDE, TLKM, ACES, BBTN, CMRY, SIDO, JSMR and AKRA.
Strategy: Alpha Picks: Slight Outperformance In A Bear Market: Our picks are BSDE, TLKM, ACES, BBTN, CMRY, SIDO, JSMR and AKRA. Astra Agro Lestari (AALI IJ/SELL/Rp6,425/Target: Rp5,715): 1Q24: Within expectations. Maintain SELL as we are concerned with its flat FFB production growth, lower mill utilisation rate and weak downstream margin.

The Eid al-Fitr celebration drove Telkomsel’s data traffic up by 13% vs normal days. Telkomsel’s convergence penetration reached 45% progress in Mar 24 (Jul 23: 37%). Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of Rp4,400 considering its strong balance sheet, historically cheap valuation (-2SD of EV/EBITDA, amid external geographical tension), and dividend enticement (potential yield of around 5%).
TLKM recorded net profit of Rp6.1t (-6% yoy/+20% qoq) in 1Q24, in line with our and consensus expectations. 1Q24 core profit jumped 2% yoy (+15% qoq) with better EBITDA margin (52% vs 4Q23: 49%). Maintain BUY with a target price of Rp4,400 due to several factors: a) positive seasonality in 2Q24 (Eid al-Fitr), b) share price correcting by around 21% month-to-date amid recent external geographical tension and trades at near -2SD of EV/EBITDA, and c) potential dividend yield of around 5% (AGM: 3 Ma...

TLKM’s 4Q23 net profit surged 21% yoy (-25% qoq) to Rp5t, but EBITDA decreased 5% yoy (-11% qoq) to Rp18.5t due to higher interconnection exchange expenses. Despite the weaker EBITDA, 2023 EBITDA was in line with our and consensus expectations. We expect EBITDA to recover to 6% yoy in 2024, partly on the back of the gradual realisation of synergy between Telkomsel and Indihome. Upgrade to BUY with an unchanged target price of Rp4,400.

Fixed broadband’s penetration is expected to hit 23% in 2027 vs 14% in 2021, according to ADL. However, demand from the remaining potential market might depend on fixed broadband products’ affordability. Furthermore, Telkomsel’s data pricing increase might gradually become more limited in the near term. Our EBITDA growth assumption is 5% yoy, thanks to the realisation of more synergies from the Telkomsel-Indihome integration (since 3Q23). Downgrade to HOLD and lower our target price to Rp4,400.
Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI IJ/BUY/Rp5,750/Target: Rp6,400): 4Q23: 10.5% qoq profit growth amid higher CoF and pressure on micro segment. PT Telkom (TLKM IJ/HOLD/Rp4,040.00/Target: Rp4,400.00): Moderate EBITDA growth of 5% yoy in 2024. Downgrade to HOLD.

After a decent 2023, in 2024 we are likely to see further evidence of market repair in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia driven by consolidation in both Mobile and Broadband. The economic outlook in the region is generally positive too, helped by post-Covid tailwinds, and China decoupling.
Our portfolio underperformed in 4Q23, delivering a 1.3% return compared with the JCI’s return of 3.4%. For 2023, the JCI rose by 6.2%, driven by Barito Group stocks that delivered triple-digit returns and lifted the overall market. The strong market return caused our portfolio to underperform with a 2.7% return. We drop NCKL and GOTO as these names have not been performing, and add MAPI. Our picks are MAPI, BMRI, JSMR, TLKM, BBNI, CTRA, MYOR and AKRA.
Our portfolio delivered a 3.7% return in Nov 23, underperforming the JCI that recorded a 7.2% return. Our top three gainers are BBNI (+12.5%), TLKM (10.1%), SMGR (8.9%) and NCKL (6.5%). Over the past 10 years, the JCI’s highest monthly return is usually in December, averaging 2.59%. In anticipation of the year-end rally, we increase our portfolio beta by adding GOTO and BMRI as investors could purchase banks amid the market rally. Our picks are GOTO, BMRI, JSMR, TLKM, BBNI, NCKL, CTRA, MYOR and ...

ISAT on 27 November announced its collaboration with MNC Play by acquiring over 300,000 subscribers. This could give rise to slightly positive sentiment on ISAT as it gives more clarity on its potential inorganic growth in the fixed broadband/fixed mobile convergence business. EXCL has yet to announce the recent progress of its synergy with LINK (top 2 player in fixed broadband market). The impact might be roughly priced in for now as ISAT’s share price jumped 4% on 29 Nov 23. Maintain OVERWEIGH...
