[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. Early bird for the next cycle.pdf 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.ml.com/C/?q=V4ruqvv8RwrltljEpgrEYA%3D%3Dr=eryado 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 Rp4,250 to 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$230mn. Separately, Bloomberg reported BDMN plans to raise ~Rp4tn in rights issue, priced at ~45% discount. We view the pricing as attractive if done based on / below current share price given the stock is now trading at depressed 5.3x '09 P/E and 0.9x '09 P/BV, or 50% disc to our fair P/BV of 1.8x. http://research1.ml.com/C/?q=D1XJDxmNBpHltljEpgrEYA%3D%3Dr=eryado FX forecasts Our global FX team's latest view. For Indonesia, the team believes Rupiah is poised to appreciate in coming months, in light of: i) relatively resilient macro-fundamentals and greater political certainty post-parliamentary and presidential elections, ii) growth outperformance relative to the rest of Asia and scope for further expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, iii) Recent comments from the Indonesian authorities suggesting they are uncomfortable with sustained Rp weakness and reaffirmed their commitment to ‘guarding’ the Rp. EM currencies quarterly forecasts is on pg 13; We expect Rp to hit Rp10,000/US$ 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=TSG8K56RyvzltljEpgrEYA%3D%3Dr=prodap 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.
