Subject: [obrolan-bandar] BASML INDO Strategy: positive on Indonesia + top 
picks (18 Feb 09)




Arief turns positive on Indonesia
just as the DOW fell last night.  But... calm down and read his arguments
on the reports, I think you will agree Indonesia economic fundamentals
actually set to improve in the coming months.   His top 5 picks are in
order of preference:  BMRI, BDMN, ASII, INTP, and BBRI.
 
Think positive! 
Shouldn't
we get in now.... This is Indonesia. 
Arief in his new strategy piece has turned positive.  He sees limited
downside risk to IDR, more resilient than expected domestic demand, healthy
banking system, and upside surprise from election in April. All these while 
valuations are
undemanding,
hence he suggests to get in ahead of the data point especially on sectors that
benefit from easing policy.  Downside risk to IDR should be limited given
current & capital account improvement.  The administration has
arranged for bigger standby International loan facilities (to meet U$ demand
for loan repayment) and implement partial control on FX buying for speculation
by residents and financial players.  Stable currency offers flexible
monetary and fiscal policies. Gov’t additional fiscal stimulus package,
representing 1.4% of GDP, should facilitate a 4% GDP growth target in 2009 and
5.1% in 2010.  Throw in aggressive rate cuts to the environment and we
could see a strong domestic consumption (~ 65%  of GDP) more than offsets
external trade contraction. Election from April onwards could also offer upside
surprise; Historically, a favorable outcome considerably boosts consumer and
business confidences! His top 5 picks are
in order of BMRI, BDMN, ASII, INTP, and BBRI.

Bank Mandiri 
Bank
Mandiri (BMRI IJ) is now Arief’s top pick out of Indonesia.  He raised PO
17% to Rp 2,800 and lifts 2009-10 forecast bottom line by 12-29%.  BMRI
has successfully revolutionized its operation, strengthened risk management,
and cleaned up loan portfolio over the last 4 years and these structural
changes are set to deliver sustainable improvement in earnings and RoE. 
As Indonesia implements easing monetary and expansionary fiscal policies, Arief
see 2009-10 earnings benefits from higher NIM, better than anticipated loan
growth, and resilient economic growth hence lower loan loss provisions. Stock 
trades on 6.3x EPS and 1.1x
P/BV '09.  Arief thinks the bank worth 1.7x BV when market realize fears
about relaps restructured loan in BMRI is out of place.  http://research1.

BDMN: raised PxT to Rp 4,250 
Our 2nd
favorite name in Indonesia
as BDMN is well positioned to benefit from declining interest rate thanks to
its hefty time deposits (73% of total) and high LDR (87%).  Arief raised
PxT by 16% to Rp4,250to reflect: (1) a 26% increase in our 2009 earnings (we 
keep 2010
unchanged) and (2) a 1ppt reduction in WACC to 17% as we expect macroeconomic
headwinds to decrease.  On concern over its remaining F/X forward
contract, we believe BDMN has made enough provisions (US$73mn) for the balance.
The net notional amount of its F/X contract has declined 84% to US$230mn.
Separately, Bloomberg reported BDMN plans to raise ~Rp4tn in rights issue,
priced at ~45% discount. We view the pricing as attractive if done based on /
below current share price given the stock is now trading at depressed 5.3x '09
P/E and 0.9x '09 P/BV, or 50% disc to our fair P/BV of 1.8x. http://research1.

FX forecasts 
Our global FX team's latest
view. For Indonesia, the
team believes Rupiah is poised to appreciate in coming months, in light of: i) 
relatively
resilient macro-fundamentals and greater political certainty post-parliamentary
and presidential elections, ii) growth outperformance relative to the rest of
Asia and scope for further expansionary fiscal and monetary policies,
iii)  Recent comments from the Indonesian authorities suggesting they are 
uncomfortable
with sustained Rp weakness and reaffirmed their commitment to
‘guarding’ the Rp. EM currencies quarterly forecasts is on pg 13;
We expect Rp to hit Rp10,000/US$ at Dec '09, and Rp9,700/US$ at Dec '10. 
Elsewhere, we are moderately positive on the dollar. The longer and more
sustained the downturn in the US,
the more powerful the re-balancing which simultaneously shrinks the US
current account gap and supports demand for USD. That said, until the US
current account imbalance is closed, the USD is vulnerable to outbreaks of
risk-seeking behavior brought on by greater optimism over the economic
outlook.   http://research1. ml.com/C/ ?q= TSG8K56RyvzltljEpgr EYA%3D%3D&

US Markets 
DJIA -3.7%, Vol 1.6B; CCMP
-4.1%, Vol 2.3B; SPX -4.5%; SOX -6.6%; DXY +1%   ***Stocks crumble as
a poor macro data & anxiety ahead of GM & Chrysler's biz plan update
offset the signing of the $787B stimulus package by Prez Obama.  Volumes
spike higher as do volatilities w/ the VIX jumping 13% to 48.6%.  All 3
indices finish on the lows while the tape turns super sloppy with 92% of NYSE
issues declining!  Bonds catch flight to quality bid w/ 10 yr +2 3/32 to
yield 2.64%
