Timah (TINS IJ) – 1H08 results: good, but not sure about 2H
The
company posted a net profit of Rp1,112bn in 1H08, up by 42% YoY, the sole
outperformer in the metal space. The result came in somewhat line with
consensus, reflecting 56% of full year target.
We
suspect there has been a sharp reduction in sales volume in 1H08 as revenue was
up by 3% YoY while LME tin price was very strong, up by 51% YoY, in 1H08,
averaging at US$20,100.
We
are not so confident about 2H08 outlook with LME tin price has fallen by 20%
from this year peak, still outperforming other metals, and are not sure how
long that is going to last.
