The government is highly supportive of the EV industry, with the contractors WIKA (Gesits motorcycle production) and PTPP (KITB development and nickel mining service) having projects related to the EV industry. The revenue contribution from Gesits is still small; WIKA sold 1,200 units in 2022. PTPP booked Rp1t in revenue (7% contribution) from Weda Bay Nickel in 9M22. We believe the development of the EV industry could bring more upside revenue. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top pick: PTPP.
IKN’s development has started, with modular housing by WEGE and ADHI becoming the first buildings in IKN. According to IKN’s head of authority, 59 LOI from various investors have been received, with three investors planning to invest Rp41t and having received principal permits. However, we believe that investors will adopt a wait-and-see stance due to the high uncertainty of macroeconomic conditions as well as the upcoming presidential election. IKN’s development may not significantly impact the...
WSKT’s indicative minimum exercise price for its rights issue would be Rp456, above its current market price of Rp410. Public investors are unlikely to exercise their rights under the premium price offered. However, Rp3t of state capital injection will still be disbursed in 2022 despite a potential delay in the rights issue process. WSKT’s burn rate started to improve in 3Q22. We expect WSKT to book an operating profit in 2023 with a much lower loss in bottom line. Downgrade to HOLD with a targe...

New contract achievements grew 40%, signalling that infrastructure projects are starting to resume, while IKN projects may also contribute to new contract achievement. Material prices have normalised.

Top pick: PTPP.

WSKT is set to secure a mega overseas project worth Rp20t with double-digit returns. Meanwhile, INA will be taking over two segments of toll roads in Central Java. We expect WSKT to deliver operating profit in 2022 and net profit in 2023. Maintain BUY with a target price of Rp840.
Investor withdrawal from IKN funding, risk of inflation and interest rate hikes might become new challenges and concerns for the sector. New contract achievements in 2M22 mostly doubled, signalling that infrastructure projects are starting to resume. Recovery in utilisation rate will translate to a higher burn rate and revenue, but the bottom line might remain depressed. Downgrade to MARKET WEIGHT. Keep WIKA and PTPP as our top picks.
