2020 Review
The depth of the global economic contraction in 2020 was indeed unprecedented, but so
were the monetary and fiscal stimulus responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, in both size
and speed. Global stock markets bottomed at the end of March, as the haven asset (i.e., the
US dollar) reversed along with a series of unprecedented global stimulus. Months of
lockdown and fears of virus pushed for massive technology adoption across consumers
and companies, and drove cost-cutting measures, risking low-skilled jobs’ recovery. Light
has appeared at the end of the tunnel, with vaccine manufacturers announcing
constructive phase three results, fueling further rallies in risk-assets in 4Q20.
Indonesia’s twin-deficit economy with very weak fiscal capacity and its reliance on overseas
bondholders have always been the issues in investing in the country; hence, the stock
market underperformance in the first nine months of 2020. Abundant liquidity—given the
fall in the capex cycle, along with the return of the current account surplus amid weak
imports—partially helped finance the higher-than-usual fiscal deficit. The JCI Index
dropped as much as 38% when the pandemic first hit Indonesia, reaching its bottom in
end-March. The initial rebound was first helped by defensive sectors, such as towercos,
consumer goods, and telecommunication services. Reopening trades outperformed when
lockdowns ended in July, while vaccine optimism fueled further rotations into cyclicals in
4Q20. We decompose the JCI’s return breakdowns below.

Forecasting 40% earnings growth in 2021 and 16% in 2022. Our bottom-up estimates
call for 40% earnings growth recovery in 2021 after a 28% drop in 2020, with 2022 growth
estimated at 16%. We expect corporate ex-banks revenue growths of 14%/8% in
2021/2022 against a -13% decline in 2020, with EBIT growths of 27%/11% from -23% this
year. We expect all sectors to deliver positive earnings growth in 2021, with cyclicals
driving the recovery momentum much higher than the defensives.

Where we stand against consensus. Our 2020/2021/2022 estimates for our universe are
1.5%/6.4%/3.8% above consensus; the deviations came from our bullish estimates on
Banks, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Property. Our estimates are
considerably lower than the street’s on Construction & Materials, Healthcare, and Telecom.

Delta of earnings downgrades may have bottomed. The 3Q20 earnings have been quite
decent despite Jakarta’s reimposed lockdown. We expect a stronger 4Q20 on account of:
1) the end of Jakarta’s lockdown; 2) IDR appreciation; 3) strong commodity prices, and; 4)
pent-up demand at year-end.

Rotations into cyclicals, value stocks, and laggards should continue into 1Q21. We
officially closed our barbell portfolio strategy in early November (Stronger Ground for Re-
Rating, https://www.mandirisekuritas.co.id/r/XsBb?c=rsch, dated 5-Nov-20) as the US election
concludes while the announcement of the vaccines’ late-stage results from Pfizer,
Moderna, and AstraZenecca triggered further value rotations. Our cyclical preference
remains unchanged; we favor Banks, Building Materials, Commodities, Infrastructures,
Property, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary. While these sectors have strongly rallied
in 4Q20, what have not been priced in are the reforms’ execution of the approved omnibus
bill and the potential renewed weakness of the US dollar. On another front, we expect fiscal
and monetary policies to remain favorable. The vaccine deployment could be a risk, as
economic recovery could be delayed if there were any disruptions. However, we still see a
vaccine-led recovery supporting the cyclicals continuing into 1Q21. Catch-up laggards will
benefit too; in this case, we like SMID-cap cyclicals. We discuss this in the stock-picks
section.

Mass vaccinations to begin in 2Q21. The announcement of the vaccine candidates’ late-
stage results lifted the market sentiment in November, fueling further rotations into
equities. Growth-sensitive sectors, such as cyclicals and value stocks, should continue to
benefit as the market rotates away from defensives and growth stocks. Two vaccines have
been approved for full use, five in early or limited use, and fifteen in phase three trials.
While the market has enthusiastically responded to these positive developments, the focus
will soon shift to distribution challenges. In Indonesia’s case, all eyes will be on the approval
timeline of certain vaccine producers with large volume commitments to Indonesia, such
as Sinovac and Novavax, and on the social acceptance rate, given the low immunization
rate here. Until mass vaccinations begin in 2Q21, risks would persist, as COVID-19 cases
may worsen, though the market could still look beyond this if further vaccine development
updates were proven solid. For this reason, we still keep some defensives in our portfolio,
while we expect a more backloaded earnings recovery in 2021.
The Indonesian government has provided the roadmap for COVID-19 vaccination, with
about 40% coverage for the entire population or nearing 70% of the 18–59-year-old age
group. This roadmap is nonetheless subject to further changes.
Within the 18–59-year-old age group, a total of 239mn doses are planned for 107mn
people, representing around 67% of this age group or about 40% coverage of the entire
population. This appears low, considering that only <1% of Indonesians have
contracted COVID-19, though ~70% of the cases are arguably concentrated within just
11 provinces. Most vaccines are aimed for this age group, as Indonesians older than 60
years make up a smaller portion of the population, at 11%, and those younger than 18
years, about 22%. COVID-19 fatality rates for Indonesians within the age group of <45
years are nonetheless low.
About 30% of the vaccines are given through a government program, while the
remaining 70% are voluntary vaccinations. The first 18mn doses (7.5% of total doses
planned) are allocated for priority workers (medical workers and public servants) and
will be distributed from Dec-20 until Mar-21. Public vaccinations to start in 2Q21: 57mn
doses in 2Q21 (23.8%), 82mn in 3Q21 (34.2%), and 82mn in 4Q21 (34.4%).
The vaccine providers that Indonesia will procure from, such as Sinovac and Novavax,
have not published any interim results regarding their efficacy rates. The government
has approved a wider list of vaccines through the latest Ministry of Health regulation,
though supply negotiations have not concluded.

As mass vaccinations occur in 2Q21, our base case sees the 50% capacity restriction
possibly removed by then, while the reopening of workplaces and schools would further
help the economic multiplier. We forecast a 14% revenue recovery in 2021 after a 13% fall
this year. We think the quarterly revenue run-rate should be closer to the 2019 figure
toward the later part of 2021. We expect 8% revenue growth in 2022.

End to the pandemic is clearer, but near-term path could still be volatile. Without
delays, mass vaccinations will only take place in 2Q21, while risks remain if the efficacy
results on any of the Indonesian vaccine suppliers are disappointing, thus requiring a
higher number of vaccinated population, which could raise the challenges. Worsening
COVID-19 cases and fatalities, which have been happening lately, could derail near-term
sentiment, and thus economic recovery, with risks of a tightened restriction even though
we believe the government is clearly not in favor of a strict lockdown, given the economic
costs. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but that path could remain volatile. As such,
we still keep a portion of defensives to hedge our cyclical preference. Corrections would be
buying opportunities.

Industry consolidations will take place this time. Since 2019, we have been advocating
that several companies operating in industries with weak profitability and below-WACC
returns will be forced to either drive costs efficiencies or consolidate, as has been occurring
in several sectors since that year. Prior to the pandemic, the JCI’s ROIC has already been
running within cost of fund, which got worse this year. The COVID-19 pandemic will fast
forward this consolidation, which will lead to an uneven recovery as the pandemic ends.
Companies with stronger balance sheets and bargaining power, given their market share
dominance, will have a better cushion to navigate the pandemic, likely consolidating more
market shares to their advantages as the pandemic ends. Extension of loan restructuring
scheme by another year to end-1Q22 should buy some companies—not all—more time.
Indonesia’s BPS survey in July further indicated that only 26% of the surveyed companies
thought they could survive for more than 3 months without assistance, and only 45% of
those that managed to diversify their business thought they could last for more than 3
months. Unreadiness in adopting technology and inflexibility of the supply chain are
additional challenges.

Consolidations will accelerate among the most affected sectors; winners could
recover stronger. According to the BPS survey, the three most affected sectors are hotels
& restaurants, other services, and transport & warehousing. In the table below, we updated
the ROE for each sector in the JCI Index, with the latest column being the last 12 months of
ROE. The latest ROE data clearly shows that the COVID-19 pandemic will force for more
consolidations among the highly competitive industries with fragmented competition,
digital disruption, and low pre-pandemic ROE. We think the odds are high for retailers,
restaurants, land transport, and building materials. We like MAPI, MAPA, BIRD, SMGR, and
INTP. Telecom could be one too.
Two-speed economy, favoring mid-upper. With abundant liquidity, both the equity and
bond markets have appreciated, while the real economic recovery has somewhat been K-
shaped as the economy runs in two speeds. We think mid-upper consumers will recover
faster, with strong discretionary pent-up demand post vaccination, whereas the middle-
low and low-income segments will take longer to recover. We see upside risks that certain
pent-up demand exceed supply in certain discretionary products; some mid-upper
segment hotels have already reported decent occupancy rates as well as some restaurants,
even though vaccines have not been deployed and COVID-19 cases continued to worsen.
Our biggest concern is the lasting impact from the pandemic on employment, as industry
consolidations will occur, cost optimization will continue, and tech adoption will be
necessary. That said, while we favor Consumer Discretionary, we restrict our preferences on
the mid-upper segments: Property, Automotive, and mid-upper Retailers (MAPI, MAPA,
ACES). Domestic tourism spending has a huge pent-up demand due to both downtrading
and avoidance of overseas travel. We think the most appropriate proxies are JSMR (as land
commute should be preferred, given that people would perceive it as safer than air
transport, while it should benefit from tourism downtrading), BIRD, and PZZA.

Diminishing COVID-19 fears will propel confidence to spend. Should the vaccination
program and medical treatment improvement manage to reduce COVID-19 cases and
fatalities in 2Q21, we expect a much more effective multiplier and transmission of fiscal and
monetary policies into the economy, with businesses and consumers starting to utilize the
excess liquidity in the banking system as confidence returns. Liquidity in the domestic
banking system has been excessive, with LDR at its 8-year low and loan-growth-to-money-
supply-growth at the lowest since the Asian Financial Crisis; on the other hand, banks have
built up sensible loan provisioning. Bank Indonesia’s open market operations (OMO) have
also doubled compared to last year. With the fiscal deficit budgeted at 5.7% next year, we
expect domestic liquidity to remain ample along with accommodative monetary policies
and tailwind from strong commodity prices.

Credit cycle resumption could take place in 2H21, albeit gradually. The Financial
Services Authority (OJK) targets 1-4% industry loan growth in 2021, while Bank Indonesia
projects a higher 7-9% growth in both loan and third-party funds. These are compared to
the 1-2% loan growth probably achieved this year. Up to September, the industry loan
growth was still -1.5% YTD, slightly better than the -1.7% YTD in August. Some
improvements occurred in construction, agriculture-hunting-and-forestry, and mortgage
loans on the consumer side, albeit slowly. Regardless, property developers have recorded
strong property presales recovery, while the 2021 state budget and the omnibus law
implementation (i.e., SWF) appear to be constructive for infrastructures, we think.
Accommodative fiscal and monetary policies, along with improving economic activities,
will eventually resume the credit cycle expansion, though we expect a more pronounced
recovery in 2H21 as mass vaccinations take place. Third-party funds continued to grow
soundly along with weak CAPEX cycle and consumption appetite, but it is plausible that
the sentiment could swiftly turn as the pandemic’s end is in sight.
Globally, the yield curve has been steepening as expectations on economic recovery build
up. While near-term inflationary risks are low, inflationary expectations should rise within
the medium-term, limiting room for further rate cuts. We expect accelerating loan demand
in 2H21, gradually resuming the credit cycle with excessive liquidity conditions. Not only
that the LDR is at an 8-year low, but the loan-growth-to-M2-growth ratio is the lowest since
the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis. Strong commodity prices are an additional tailwind. As
global monetary policies will remain accommodative, we do not expect material pressure
on interest rate reversal. We favor Banks, while pent-up demand benefits Consumer
Discretionary.

Business sentiment rebounded strongly but still far from normal. Bank Indonesia’s
latest business confidence survey shows improving sentiment, with a 3Q20 net weighted
balance of -6.0, returning to the 1Q20 level after the steep drop to -35.8 in 2Q20. Inventory
restocking likely helped the manufacturers, with utilized production capacity recovering to
72% in 3Q20 from 69%/74% in 2Q20/1Q20 (2019 average at 76%). Survey participants
shared an optimistic view for 4Q20, with a net weighted balance of 2.2 on the business
confidence survey, whereas the net weighted balance for investment realization picked up
to -1.3 in 3Q20 from 2.6 in 1Q20 and -13.1 in 2Q20, with the forward-looking expectation
coming in at 2.0 for 4Q20. Global PMI recovery has been happening, with the US and North
Asia ex-Japan reaching 53-57 in November, while Indonesia’s PMI reached 50.6.

Yield seekers will look at riskier assets and EM. Investors will enter 2021 with asset
classes in the developed markets, such as the US bond and equity markets, trading at
enormously expensive levels. As 2021 will be a year of global economic recovery, we think
the pursuit of yield will continue to trigger further rotations into riskier assets (i.e., equities
over money markets and bonds) and EM over DM. While global policymakers should
remain accommodative, a repeat of 2020 in terms of the delta of monetary policy easing
appears unlikely. We expect no cut in Bank Indonesia’s reference rate next year compared
to the 125 bps easing this year. As such, capital gains on government bonds should be
smaller in 2021, not just here, but globally. Vaccine deployment is key, along with the result
of Georgia’s runoff election on 5-Jan that could still lead to a Blue Wave scenario.

Indonesia’s government bonds can still benefit, given their high real yield. Inflows into the
bond market should help cushion expectations for a higher CAD next year, as our base case
assumes backloaded FDI inflows post-omnibus law. Indonesia’s equity market should
benefit too, given the relative valuation gap and widening earnings yield spread over the
risk-free rates, giving scope for further normalization in equity risk premium, though
returning to the 2019 level requires stronger conviction on earning recovery, which would
only become clearer in mid-2021. The path could still be volatile, as mass vaccinations are
still months away, yet the implied risk premium has not returned to its long-term average.

Yield curve could remain steep in 2021. Yield curves in the US have been steepening in
the past months, which typically will support the cyclicals. Recovering global economy
along with rising inflationary expectations could further steepen the US yield curve, as the
longer-tenor bond yield rises faster than the shorter ones’. One caveat, however, is the
potential yield curve control to limit the longer-end tenor appreciation, though we still
think Indonesia’s yield could steepen next year. Domestically, the steep yield curve has
recently flattened, as demand on the longer tenor has risen along with the return of foreign
buyers. In 2021, however, chances are high for a further yield curve steepening, as we do
not expect further rate cuts, while the government bond supply will likely be larger on the
longer tenors to reduce medium-term refinancing risks. Meanwhile, as BI can continue its
burden-sharing in the absence of smaller domestic and foreign bidders, domestic liquidity
could stay flush next year. Banks remain among our cyclical picks.

Renewed dollar weakness in 2021. This could help offset IDR pressures, as imports would
rise along with the economic recovery, while the structural reforms’ impact on FDI and CAD
would be gradual. Odds for renewed US dollar weakness are high considering the global
economic recovery would weaken the US dollar as a haven asset, the real interest rate
spread makes it less attractive, and large fiscal deficits may likely continue with the drastic
fall in the US net national savings rate to -0.5% in 3Q20 causing more needs for external
funding/capital. High yield bonds, such as Indonesia’s, could benefit, which is why our
bond strategist, Handy Yunianto, expects the 10Y yield to settle at 5.75-6.00% by end-2021.

US dollar appreciated against the rupiah from the start of 2020 until end-March and has
since depreciated by 15.1%. Bloomberg consensus calls for 5.3% depreciation in DXY in
2021 and 5.8% in 2022. Our economist expects USD/IDR of Rp14,177 in end-2021
compared to Rp14,296 in end-2020. While the normalization of imports would swing
Indonesia’s current account back into a deficit next year, key factors to watch would be the
portfolio and FDI inflows. Strong commodity prices would be a positive tailwind as we
enter 2021, though we do not expect them to remain elevated beyond 2Q21.

Expansionary global growth. Although there have been supply disruptions across some
commodities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, long years of underinvestment in commodity
CAPEX cycle, and adverse weather, the global economic recovery is underway, driven by
hopes on vaccines and tailwind from the historically most aggressive fiscal and monetary
policy stimulus. Consensus aims for the G20 economic growth to recover to 4.4%/3.9% in
2021/2022, from negative 3.4% this year, among the fastest growth trajectory seen since
post-GFC period. The 2021/2022 economic growths in the US and China are estimated at
3.8%/3.0% and 8.2%/5.5%. Global manufacturing data has gradually been recovering, with
most key countries hitting expansionary thresholds (>50) since 3Q20, while Indonesia
bounced back to 50.6 in Nov-20 after declining to <50 in Sep/Oct. The latest PMIs in the US
and China were already higher than their pre-pandemic levels too.

Strong commodity prices bring positive tailwinds entering 2021, helping exports and
domestic purchasing power before the mass vaccinations in 2Q21. Indonesia’s current
account balance turned positive in 3Q20, as the fall in imports amidst weak domestic
consumption outpaced the decline in exports. With the expected domestic economic
recovery, Indonesia’s imports should begin to recover. Vaccine imports will weigh the trade
balance in 2021, although this is necessary for ensuring economic recovery, hence not a
structurally concerning issue. Regardless, strong commodity prices should provide cushion
in the 2021 trade balance as we transition into an economic recovery path. Bank Indonesia
projects CAD of 1.0-1.5% of GDP for 2021, lower than 2019’s CAD of 2.7%. Our in-house
view is for a CAD of 2.2-2.5% of GDP next year.

Palm oil (10% of 3Q20 exports). Palm oil exports rebounded 21% QoQ and 13% YoY in
3Q20 to USD 4.1bn, contributing 10.1% of Indonesia’s total exports in 3Q20 from 8.3%
in 3Q19. This is predominantly driven by CPO prices’ recovery, which increased by ~80%
from its low in May-20, reaching the MYR 3,500-3,600/ton level, with an average YTD
price of ~MYR 2,752/ton, 27% higher than 2019’s price of MYR 2,173/ton. After the 21%
QoQ rebound in 3Q20, CPO prices further increased by about ~18% so far this quarter.
We expect tight supply to prevail until at least 1Q21, with yield slowly recovering
afterward. Inventory levels in Malaysia and Indonesia remained low at 1.5m tons in
Sep/Oct, with Malaysia’s 8% stock/usage ratio hovering below its 8-year average of 11%.
CPO production has been adversely affected by prolonged drought and lower fertilizer
application in 2019 as low prices disincentivized farmers, while pandemic-driven labor
shortages in Malaysia further worsened the situation. We expect better palm oil
production this year, given the high rainfall.
Near-term exports should be supported by China and India; though their inventory
levels are considered healthy, we expect exports in 4Q20 and 1Q21 to be supported by
demand from India, following its reduced import levy, while China should start to
prepare for the CNY in February. Consumption recovery in 2021 should further help the
palm oil demand, particularly the demand from HORECA sectors in China, India, and the
EU, while Indonesia’s demand will be supported by biodiesel and household
consumption recovery.
Tight edible oil supply should also be a supporting factor to CPO prices. Soybean prices
have reached a 2-year high, with the recent drought season in the US affecting the
soybean-producing region, while the occurrence of La Nina will disrupt soybean
harvesting in South America. Sunflower and rapeseed oils are also expected to be
weaker due to drought in producing regions.
Coal (8% of 3Q20 exports). Newcastle coal benchmark price has rebounded to
>USD 70/ton from the lowest point of USD 50/ton in Aug-20, with Indonesia’s coal
benchmarks (ICI3 and ICI4) rebounding even stronger by about 27% and 40% from their
lows, given the demand improvement and production cut. Our analyst, Ariyanto
Kurniawan, recently upgraded his coal price assumption to USD 70/ton in 2021-22 from
USD 60/ton in 2020, citing the following: 1) demand recovery coming from India’s
economic growth recovery and China’s new import quota; 2) 1Q21 production risks
disrupted by the strong La Nina, and; 3) slower production recovery in Indonesia.
After declining 5.7% this year, the global seaborne thermal coal market is estimated to
recover by 1.4% next year, with India driving the recovery, while Indonesia’s thermal
coal exports are estimated to be 4.5% higher next year. Despite China’s focus on clean
energy, coal will still be a dominant energy mix there at 57% by 2025 compared to 58%
in 2019. Efforts to stabilize domestic coal prices may also require China to import more,
with Indonesia standing to benefit since Australia’s quota has not been opened. Back to
the domestic Indonesian market, coal is also expected to remain an important
component in the energy mix, at 50% by 2026, as estimated by PLN, implying a 7%
annual growth until 2016.
Base metal (11% of 3Q20 exports). The global nickel industry dynamics have
dramatically changed after Indonesia’s implementation of a nickel ore export ban in
2014, triggering a migration of China’s nickel pig iron (NPI) manufacturers to Indonesia
to secure the nickel ore supply, a key ingredient to produce NPI. Indonesia’s nickel
production has jumped by almost fourfold within just 4 years, while the Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources estimates Indonesia’s nickel production to increase to
1.1mn tons by 2024 or around 18% CAGR, driven by rising NPI production, with
Indonesia’s share in the global refined nickel production estimated to jump to 40% by
2024 from 19% in 2019. Class I nickel’s share for battery is estimated to remain small at
20% of the total production, though Indonesia has huge limonite ore reserves that are
used for battery. In the near future, however, stainless steel demand remains the most
important driver of demand at around 70% of the nickel market.
Beginning of the long-awaited reforms. When we published our 2020 outlook in Dec-
2019, the main discussion was about structural reforms, notably with the ongoing refinery
upgrades within the oil industry and the massive mid/down-stream investments within the
mineral industry, such as nickel, copper, and bauxite. Other reforms that we were expecting
to take place were the approval of the Omnibus Laws on Jobs Creation and Tax and the
SOE infrastructure asset recycles—both expected to bring more dollar home. The
pandemic, however, took stage in mid-March, overriding the hopes of reforms. Fast
forward to 4Q20, the reforms began taking place with the Jobs Creation Law securing
parliamentary approval in Oct-20 before being officially signed into law by President
Jokowi in early Nov-20. While vaccine optimism has overtaken the market attention in the
past 1-2 months, we believe the reforms will eventually dominate the mid-to-longer-term
investment theme, starting in 2021, given its implications to the balance of payment.

Jobs Creation Law addresses core issues, expediting structural reforms. Consisting of
15 chapters and 174 articles across 10 key clusters, the Jobs Creation Law amended 73
existing laws, consisting around 1,200 articles. Key objectives of the omnibus law are to
avoid the middle-income trap risk, create more jobs, reduce bottlenecks related to
investments, lower bureaucracy, empower MSMEs & labor, and increase the mix of formal
workers. While the law is designed to expedite the structural reforms in Indonesia through
much bigger direct investments, we believe this has not been fully priced in by the market,
as Indonesia’s equity market rebound took place after the US Election result and the
positive vaccine developments. The release of the implementing regulations, which should
be anytime between now until early Feb-21 at the latest, will be crucial. We believe
investors have not fully priced in the potential reforms, given the classical execution
problems in the past. This should be the upside opportunities, we think.
FDI increases through direct investment and new SWF formation. With the relatively
low FDI portion to GDP, the direct investment flows into Indonesia have not been enough
in funding the current account deficit problem that has been a clear disruption to the
domestic economic growth and wealth creation. Reforms have been expedited, such as the
huge efforts in building new infrastructures and increasing manufacturing value-add
through downstreaming plans across certain commodities. In 2016, a tax amnesty program
was held to bring more dollars home, though the impact toward direct investment was
somewhat limited. Key issues in investing in Indonesia have been the uncertainties, such as
layers of overlapping regulations, bureaucracies, and lack of synchronization between
regulators. The Jobs Creation Law aims to address these to improve the investment climate
while creating more openness to foreign investments.
In recent years, there have been progress in the recovery of FDI across the secondary
sectors, predominantly driven by the downstreaming of the mineral resource industry. This
is the aftermath of the government’s decision to ban nickel ore exports in 2014, triggering
massive midstream and downstream investments to refine nickel ore domestically. With
the omnibus law, we think FDI flows should be more pronounced.

We think investors should look into the following for the next FDI upcycle:
More openness to FDI through a revision of the negative investment list, potentially
released in 1Q21, with some items to be moved into the positive investment list. The
omnibus bill has already addressed that only six sensitive sectors are banned from
foreign investments, with an aim of opening more sectors for foreign investments that
also include revising the ownership cap. The omnibus law also simplifies the licensing
process into a risk-based approach, classifying investments into low, medium, and high
risk.
Unprecedented pandemic calls for more supply chain diversification. Earlier in Oct-
20 during our webinar, Indonesia’s Coordinating Board of Investment (BKPM)
mentioned that it has identified that 152 companies may move to Indonesia, broken
down into the following: 13 companies have confirmed to relocate/diversify to
Indonesia, 15 already have the intention, and 124 have the potential. The 13 companies
that have already confirmed their plan come from Japan (4 companies), Taiwan (3), the
US (2), South Korea (2), and Hong Kong/China (2). While the result of the US election
may lead to some changes, we still think the US-China tension will continue, albeit more
implicitly and not via a direct trade war.
The team has actively met with the potential investors. The US International
Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) has signed, on 19-Nov-20, a letter of interest
to invest USD 2bn in the NIA. On 4-Dec-20, it was reported that the Japan Bank for
International Cooperation (JBIC) has agreed to support a USD 4bn funding. The
government is still seeking partnerships with more funds, including those in the Middle
East. In relative context, the amounts are considered sizeable relative to the 2015-19
average direct and portfolio investments at USD 15.8bn and USD 17.5bn, respectively.

Nickel smelters: Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources expect to around 29 nickel
smelters commercializing by 2022, potentially absorbing ~50mn tons of nickel ore
production. Assuming 1mn tons of nickel production in 2023 (twice of 2019’s figure)
and 3mm tons of domestic stainless-steel capacity, exports could reach ~850k tons by
2023 if 1mn ton of stainless-steel needs 5% nickel. At USD 15k/ton, this totals to
USD 13bn in NPI exports, without factoring the stainless-steel production that have
export portions too.
Indonesia’s iron and steel production have jumped from USD 1.1bn in 2014 to
USD 7.4bn in 2019 as a result of the nickel ore export ban announcement, while the
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ latest presentation material shows a
projection of the refined nickel production increasing to ~1mn tons Ni in 2022F from
~0.5mn tons Ni in 2019 and to reach almost ~1.3mn tons Ni in 2024. Therefore, the
refined nickel output volume is projected to increase by ~2.6x between 2019 and 2024,
which we believe will be targeted for exports market. The projection is based on an
assumption that the number of operating smelters will increase from 20 in 2019 to 30
by 2021, 36 by 2022, and 39 by 2023; this means that FDI flows will still be coming into
the metal industries.
The Ministry of Industry also made a projection that the value-add from the nickel
downstreaming in Morowali reached Rp92tn in 2019 and is projected to reach Rp186tn
in 2020, Rp154tn in 2021, and Rp227tn in 2022. These are sizable compared to the
<Rp20tn value-add prior to 2018.

HPAL smelters: The current nickel production mostly uses saprolite, while the limonite is
stored for later use as feedstock to produce nickel sulfate for batteries’ high-pressure
acid leach (HPAL) technology. Future demand for this Class I nickel is promising given
the projection of global EV growth. Wood Mackenzie estimated that Ni demand would
increase from 2.4mn tons in 2020 to 4.0mn tons in 2040, driven by batteries from 3% of
total demand in 2020 to 30% while stainless steel will decline from 71% to 48%. The
government has also announced its plan to form an SOE consortium, involving MIND ID,
Aneka Tambang (ANTM), Pertamina, and PLN, to enter the battery supply chain. The
plan should increase the interests of third parties in developing the battery supply chain
in Indonesia. Assessments are being made on the potential partners to establish HPAL
as well as the FeNi/NPI factory, with a possibility to build nickel sulfate factory too.
Five companies have plans to construct HPAL smelters to refine the limonite ores into
MHP and MSP, which will be used as the key materials for battery. Out of the five
smelters, three are in construction with 2021 commercialization target, and two are in
feasibility study. The investments may total ~USD 4.7bn. Considering the high capital
and risk of failures, given the advanced technology requirements, the investment
decision suggests bullish narratives on the refined nickel industry.
Indonesia’s EV plan: The Ministry of Industry’s latest roadmap sets an ambitious target
to boost the competitiveness of automotive components and support the domestic EV
adoption. It is broken down into three horizons, spanning until 2020: 1) Horizon I 2021
(3-5 years) focuses on strengthening local ICE production through raw material
production capabilities and new technology adoption to boost productivity; 2) Horizon
II 2025 (5-10 years) focuses on initiating local production for electric 2W by setting a
clear phase-out plan for fuel-based 2W, building the required infrastructures,
incentivizing electric 2W adoption, and establishing an R&D center for EV components,
and; 3) Horizon III 2030 (10-15 years) focuses on initiating the local production of EV by
setting a clear phase-out plan for ICE vehicles, encouraging continuous improvement in
EV component production, and building the domestic production capabilities for EV.
The Ministry of Industry also outlaid its projection for EV and ICE sales volume to reach
3mn units in 2030, with around 25% being LCEV, while the Ministry of Mineral and
Resources targets 2.2k units of EV 4W and 2.1mn units of EV 2W by 2025. The
government also aims to build 1,000 charging stations by 2025, up from 62 currently.
MIND ID’s latest presentation projects EV adoption at 300k-600k units of sales volume in
2035, with Indonesia’s battery capacity projected to reach 29/3 GWH by 2035, assuming
40 KWh/battery/car.

Our base target of 6,850 is derived based on EPS growths of negative -28% in 2020 and
30%/12% in 2021/2022, as we sanitized our bottom-up estimates by -10% in 2021. We set
our 1-year forward target PE multiple at 16.9x, which is derived from a 6.0% risk-free-rate,
2.5% risk premium, and 2.5% dividend yield target.
Upside Scenario: 7,300. Our bull case assumes 2020 EPS decline of -25% and 2021/2022
EPS growths of 32%/10%. Target forward PE is set at 17.2x, assuming further slide in risk-
free rate to 5.8% by end-2021, while risk premium and target dividend yield are unchanged
compared to the base case. The bull case largely depends on an effective and timely
deployment of vaccines that will flatten the COVID-19 curve.
Downside Scenario: 5,270. Our bear case assumes 2020 EPS decline of -28% and
2021/2022 EPS growths of 25%/8%. Target forward PE is set at 14.3x, assuming risk-free
rate of 6.5% and risk premium of 3.0%, while target dividend yield is unchanged at 2.5%.
This could take place if the key risks are materializing, such as the delay in mass vaccines
deployment to 3Q20 instead of 2Q20, which could lead to risks of mobility stalls in 1H21.

Valuations
The JCI’s forward PE has re-rated to ~16.2x based on Bloomberg (+1.2 SD) and ~18.1x (+1.9
SD) using Factset consensus, initially driven by the further decline in risk-free rate. Over the
last one month, nonetheless, the decline in the implied equity risk premium as a result of
rising vaccine optimism fueled the rally further. Valuation is expensive relative to history,
but not relative to peers (especially the Developed Market), and adjusted for the risk-free
rate and forward EPS growth. Foreign flows have been in favor lately but are still far from
the pre-pandemic level. The success of the structural reforms could increase Indonesia’s
appeal.

Stock Recommendations
Sticking with cyclical preferences with some quality defensives. We officially closed our
barbell portfolio strategy in early November, right after the US Election; it has worked out
well, with the JCI Index rebounding 14% since then, driven by the cyclicals. We still see
room for cyclical outperformance going into 2021, though we still assigned 3 defensive
counters out of our 12 most preferred stocks. Navigating the path is the key, a reason why
we keep some defensive names that have been underperforming this quarter. Valuation-
wise, cyclical stocks have also re-rated substantially. As such, we think it is wise to keep
some underperforming defensives that could deliver growth in 2021.

Meanwhile, recovery in the 2W market will depend on GDP growth and credit availability,
as 65-75% of sales are using financing. Though people prefer using private vehicles to
avoid crowds, weak purchasing power and priority shift in spending hinder growth in 2W
sales. ASII targets 4.0mn-4.3mn units of 2W sales in FY21F, still up to 38% lower than in
2019. ASII is undisputed in the 2W market, with an 80% market share.
Competition in the low-segment car market is heating up. While Toyota (Avanza and
Calya)/Daihatsu (Xenia and Sigra) remain the most popular model in the Rp200mn
segment, we see competition is heating up, with new players entering the market, offering
better specifications and accessories. KIA, through its new venture with Indomobil (IMAS),
recently introduced the small SUV KIA Sonet with a price range of Rp193mn-289mn, which
was very successful in India. Nissan Magnite, also distributed by IMAS, may also enter the
market sometime next year. While this is not new for ASII—given that that the segment
contributes the biggest chunk of the market, roughly up to 60% of market share—ASII’s
extensive dealership, strong support from its financing units, and strong after-sales service
still guarantee its strong position, considering those aspects are difficult for competitors to
replicate.
A long way to go for EV in Indonesia. The growing EV market globally may not translate
into strong sales in Indonesia, in view of the high price range and underdeveloped EV
infrastructure. ASII has complete exposure to EV from hybrid (Corolla Cross, CHR, Camry,
Alphard) to full electric (Lexus EV), and Toyota plans to spend USD 2bn in developing EVs in
Indonesia. The new carbon-emission-based luxury tax (PPnBM) based on fuel efficiency
shows a strong commitment to EV development in Indonesia, with 0% tax for electric
vehicles (EV). In contrast, the PPnBM for ICE engine is at a minimum of 15% for non-LCGC,
and 3% for LCGC.
Maintain Buy on ASII. We reiterate our Buy recommendation on ASII with a higher TP of
Rp6,300/share based on SOTP valuation, with implied FY21F PE at 14.1x, on par with
historic avg. of 14.0x, and more upside risk on earnings from the recovery in automotive
units.

Positive loan growth outlook, but still cautious. Industry loan growth recovery will
depend on the economy’s capacity to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.
Despite positive developments in COVID-19 vaccines and therapies, we expect the
economic recovery progress to be gradual throughout 2021. Some industries will have
better capacity to recover from the pandemic faster than the others; for instance, we
expect construction, agriculture, mining, and transportation, warehousing &
communication industries to recover ahead of others, such as financial intermediaries,
wholesale & retail trade, and electricity, gas & water. Hence, we expect loan demand from
those leading industries to pick up faster in 2021 and lead the industry loan growth during
the year. Overall, we expect loan growth to reach 7% YoY in 2021, backed by nominal GDP
growth recovery from -0.3% YoY in 2020 to 7.0% YoY in 2021.

Flush liquidity and prospect of lower cost of fund. The industry will likely continue
seeing ample liquidity, as deposit growth is expected to exceed loan growth in 2021. Banks
will remain selective in lending and prioritize asset quality over asset growth. Hence, LDR
will only improve marginally in 2021 versus 2020 and remain below the 2019 level, in our
view. The declining LDR, together with the lower benchmark rate and the higher
restructured loan balance, has led to NIM erosion across banks in 2020. But the flush
liquidity has increased the prospect of lower cost of fund, which together with LDR
improvement could support NIM recovery in 2021.

Asset quality remains key focus for investors. BUKU-IV banks have only reported ~66
bps NPL rate deterioration between Dec-19 and Sep-20, despite the restructured loan
balance increase to ~23% of total loans on average in the same period. Similarly, BUKU-III
banks have only reported ~44 bps NPL rate deterioration between Dec-19 and Sep-20,
despite the restructured loan balance increase to ~14% of total loans on average in the
same period. The NPL pick-up will likely remain “limited” in 2021 as the government
extends the relaxation period for the loan restructuring program to 1Q22. However, NPL
pick-up will turn more meaningful in 2022, following the end of the loan restructuring
relaxation period. To note, under the current relaxation program, banks classified the
restructured loan balance as “performing” and hence excluded them from the current NPL
calculations.
Most banks, however, have taken conservative steps to set aside loan loss provisions for
potential deterioration of existing restructured loans into NPL over the next 12-24 months.
For instance, BUKU-IV banks have incurred 20-180 bps higher credit cost (annualized)
between Dec-19 and Sep-20 to prepare for NPL addition from the restructured loan pool.
We expect banks’ cost of credit to ease in 2021, given the preemptive provisioning in 2020,
but to remain above the pre-COVID-19 levels.
Asset quality improvement in 2021-22 will primarily depend on GDP growth reacceleration,
which relies on continued fiscal support for sectors most hit by the pandemic and the
economy’s success in materializing direct investments after the Job Creation Bill release in
Nov-20.

Fair likelihood of earnings recovery in 2021. Banks in our coverage have made
preemptive provisioning and have bulked-up coverage ratios in 2020. Hence, we expect
provision charges to decrease across banks in 2021, as banks will only have provision as
necessary and may see asset quality improvement on the back of general economic
recovery. Thus, the lower provision charges and the NIM recovery will be the primary
drivers for net profit growth turnaround in 2021.
Yet, we believe investors will continue to focus on the risk of restructured loans relapsing
into NPL in 2021-22. However, the current sector valuation is still attractive, given the
prospect of ROE recovery in 2021 and the forward valuation running below long-term
averages. We have an Overweight rating for the banking sector, with BBNI and BBTN as our
top picks.

Rebound in domestic volumes, stable market share. We expect the industry to see
growth of 5% yoy in 2021F, in-line with GFCF growth expectations. Despite some 10% yoy
decline this year, we expect the rebound to pre-COVID levels to be gradual as 2021 should
still see some sluggishness from the pandemic. However, bag demand should remain
stable as the property market appears solid despite the pandemic, while infrastructure
budget allocation has grown 69% yoy. Domestic market share should also remain stable for
the incumbents, albeit with some choppiness earlier in the year, however should recover as
industry demand improves.
Pricing pressure exists, albeit not a downward spiral. Based on our pricing channel
check, retail prices have remained steady for the most part as price drops have been
immaterial and temporary despite East Java having seen a new competitor. This should
continue further ahead despite the expected entrance of another competitor in Central
Java. At this stage, the largest two incumbents would still own some 75% market share
between them, while qualitative aspects such distribution networks would be challenging
to acquire for new brands. We hence think domestic price pressure should remain under
control in 2021F, although ASP hikes are unlikely in 2021.
Cost efficiencies to continue. While ASP hikes is less certain, we expect the cost side to
continue softening for SMGR and INTP. For SMGR, we expect synergies from the merger to
continue, while for INTP the switch to low CV coal and alternative fuels will continue, while
both companies should continue with operating leverage improvement. We expect
EBITDA margin of around 23% for both counters in 2021. ODOL tightening has been
announced to begin in 2023 and risks of early tightening should be subdued due to
continued weak growth environment next year.
SMGR over INTP. At this stage, our preference tends towards SMGR over INTP, as INTP’s
discount to SMGR has reversed course and it is now the pricier counter on EV/ton basis.
SMGR’s largest geographic spread should render it better able to maintain cost efficiencies
going forward, notably when talks of ODOL implementation re-surface as conditions
normalize.

Coal Mining
Stronger earnings outlook ahead. As coal prices have recovered from the Aug-20 low, we
see a stronger earnings outlook for next year from higher coal prices, driven by improving
demand from both export and domestic markets. Upside risks to seaborne coal prices may
come from 1) potential demand recovery from India and new import quota from China; 2)
production risk in 1Q21 due to La Nina, and; 3) slower production recovery in Indonesia. We
forecast coal price to recover to USD 70/ton in 2021-2022 from USD 60/ton in 2020. The
current sentiment on coal price has been strong, as the market anticipates recovery next
year.
Demand recovery from the export market next year. The global seaborne thermal coal
market is estimated to decline by 6% this year to 1.04bn tons due to weak demand amid
the pandemic. Demand from India is forecasted to decline by 15% YoY, while from China to
decline slightly by 2% YoY. India’s coal imports are forecasted to gradually recover to
180mn tons (+12% YoY), still below the 2019 level of 189mn tons due to the recovery in
power demand as industrial activities resume amid the pandemic. While China will focus
on clean energy, according to its 14th five-year plan, we believe coal will remain dominant
in its energy mix, at 57% by 2025 (vs. 57.7% in 2019), given its national concerns about
energy security and supply reliability. Thus, despite developing green energy, China’s coal
demand is expected to grow by around 2.5% CAGR. China uses coal import to stabilize its
domestic coal prices.
Lower supply from Indonesia amid weak demand from export market and low coal
prices, with prices below some miners’ production cost. Coal production in 9M20 dropped
to 413mn tons (-11% YoY) but still largely in-line with the government forecast of 550mn
tons. The decline in production mainly came from coal miners that produce coal with CV of
<4,000 kcal (GAR) due to high cost-structure and that generally sell their coal to the spot
market, with lack of exposure to long-term contracts. Meanwhile, PLN’s coal demand is
estimated to increase by 7% p.a. to 153mn tons in 2026, driven by rising electricity
generation, as PLN targets to increase power generation capacity by 77.9 GW for 2017-
2026, with around 40% to come from coal-fired power plants. Coal will continue to
dominate the national energy mix for electricity, at 50.4% of total, with the rest from LNG
(19.3%), hydro (12.3%), geothermal (9.0%), and gas (7.4%).
PTBA is our top pick. We prefer coal miners with strong production growth outlook, low
cost-structure, and healthy balance sheet with upside risk on dividend payment. Our top
pick is PTBA (Buy, Rp3,100 TP) for its strong production growth, driven by railway
transportation expansions, low cost-structure, and high exposure to the domestic market.
We also like ADRO (Buy, Rp1,750 TP) for its low cost-structure and attractive asset play,
given its exposure to large coking coal asset and power plant; and UNTR (Buy, Rp31,700TP),
as we anticipate margins recovery at Pama due to the recovery in coal prices. We reiterate
our Neutral call on ITMG (Neutral, Rp15,000 TP) and HRUM (Neutral, Rp3,000 TP), as we
think the market has largely priced in the potential earnings recovery from higher coal
price, given the strong share price rally in the past two months. Weak earnings should be
largely anticipated, and they seem to have bottomed in 2Q-3Q20, with more meaningful
recovery to start in 1Q21, driven by higher coal prices.

Construction
Sovereign wealth fund initiative as game-changer. The government has set an initial
capital of USD 5.0bn, with a minimum cash capital of USD 1.0bn from state capital injection
for Indonesia’s first sovereign wealth fund initiative, the Nusantara Investment Authority
(NIA). At first, the NIA will primarily focus on infrastructure, particularly supporting SOEs’
asset recycling plan, with toll roads, airports, and seaports as the initial investment
opportunities. Its commercial operation is expected to start in 1Q21. Although the
investment structure’s technicalities have not been disclosed yet, the founding of the NIA
will benefit the overall construction sector, considering its objective to support SOEs’ asset
recycling and provide a new financing source for infrastructure projects. The SOE
contractors will thrive from the SWF set-up, particularly regarding project financing, as the
SWF will limit their balance-sheet usage. Meanwhile, WSKT will be the ultimate beneficiary
of the asset recycling plan, which will benefit WSKT IJ the most due to its highly leveraged
balance sheet and diverse toll road ownership.
Normalizing 2021 government infra budget. Following a major revision in the 2020
Outlook, the government has set a considerable 2021 infra budget of Rp414.0tn, implying a
47.3% increase from the 2020 Outlook (post-pandemic), while still 2.2% lower than 2020’s
initial budget. The government plans to centralize the budget to optimize spending, as the
Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR)’s allocation rose by 98.1% YoY to Rp149.8tn,
the Ministry of Transportation (MoT)’s budget jumped by 39.8% YoY to Rp45.7tn, and the
land clearing budget for strategic infrastructure projects (LMAN) got an Rp11.1tn budget
allocation after nil in the 2020 budget. We think the 2021 infrastructure budget is
considerably positive for the construction sector, indicating potentially higher new
contracts than the low-base 2020.
Key risks: shortage in 2020 new contracts and limited capex spending in 2021. The big
4 SOE contractors’ relatively subdued 10M20 new contracts at Rp45.7tn (-45% YoY) exposes
the downside risk of a revenue decline in 2021, considering the thin order book on hand.
Meanwhile, we expect the 2021 new contracts will still be 15-20% below the 2019 level, as
project owners, such as the airport operator (Angkasa Pura), have not fully recovered,
limiting the potential capex from SOE companies and the private segment.
WSKT is our top pick in the construction sector. WSKT is the main beneficiary of the NIA
initiative, with the potential to deleverage its balance sheet and unlock its asset ownership
value through asset recycling, which has been long ignored by the market.

The announced 2021 tobacco excise tariff will set another tough year for Tobacco. The
good thing is that the government still increased the HJE (retail price floor) but enforcing
this is the key. Without HJE enforcement, we think 2021 will be very tough for tobacco
producers, as there will be less incentives to pass on 2020-21 excise tariffs given the weak
purchasing power.
Key risk: margin deterioration from soaring soft commodities prices. Stronger soft
commodity prices could lend a near-term support to the grassroots’ purchasing power,
particularly CPO. However, with the risk of down-trading for the mass market, the effective
result could create margin pressures (from wheat, skimmed milk powder, sugar, and coffee)
within the non-tobacco FMCG producers.
Our preferences. UNVR, ICBP, MYOR are our most preferred names, due to their multi-tier
product offering, flagship brands, and advanced innovation in the changing distribution
landscape. We also have Buy ratings on INDF, SIDO, and MLBI. While we have Buy ratings on
tobacco names, we have lack of convictions on the catalysts unless HJE enforcement
certainty is there.
Healthcare
COVID-19 business may stay for a while, but even without that, result would still be
robust. Given the government’s latest COVID-19 vaccination roadmap, >75% of the public
may only start receiving the shot by 2H21, as the 1H21 allocation will be prioritized for
front-line medical workers and public servants. Therefore, we believe the high-ticket
business from COVID-19 treatment may sustain at least until 1H21 before gradually
decreasing in 2H21. Meanwhile, we expect the COVID-19 testing business, as a
complementary to vaccination, may be more resilient in 2021. Note that COVID-19
treatment costs on average c. Rp49mn/patient vs. a hospital’s average revenue/inpatient of
Rp7mn-17mn. For comparison, testing costs Rp900k/test for RT-PCR and Rp150k/test for
rapid test vs. a hospital’s average revenue/outpatient of Rp200k-950k.
On a very conservative note, based on the assumptions that non-COVID-19 patients remain
at 80% of the normal level for 1H21, that recovery occurs in 2H21 (+10% of normal), and
ASP increases by 5%, the core business of a hospital without COVID-19 contribution can
provide +5-10% YoY revenue growth in 2021F (See Fig. 1-3). Whereas, assuming COVID-19
treatment and testing businesses persist in 2021F, albeit at diminishing amounts, aligned
with vaccine timeline expectation, we expect revenues for hospitals can still grow by 20-
30% YoY in 2021F.
Faster BPJS Kesehatan payment to ease working capital. Hospitals have seen faster
BPJS Kesehatan payments after the premium increase this year (Presidential Regulation
64/2020), which—coupled with lower hospital traffic during the pandemic—has led the
BPJS Kesehatan into a surplus territory. Reportedly, BPJS Kesehatan has shortened its
payment cycle to hospitals from previously 100 days to currently 60 days, similar to private
insurance. We believe this short cycle will persist even after hospital traffic recovers,
considering the BPJS Kesehatan has healthier financials with the new higher premium and
is committed to maintaining it with the future standard class policy. We believe faster BPJS
Kesehatan payment will release working capital pressure for hospitals going forward.
BPJS Kesehatan standard policy to bring back profitable segment. The BPJS is
currently finalizing the standard class policy meant to be implemented by 2022. The
standard class’ preliminary design revealed that BPJS members would be categorized into
only two classes (A and B) from previously three (See Fig. 5). Class A will be for the subsidy
group, with 6 beds/room, equal to Class 3 in hospitals, and Class B will be for voluntary and
employee members, with 4 beds/room, equal to Class 2. BPJS will also make some revisions
in its policies on premium and INA-CBG (BPJS diagnostic rates) in 2021 to accommodate
the standard class policy. We believe the lower room/class benefit after the standard class
implementation will drive the behavior of the middle and middle-up BPJS members to
access healthcare with private insurance or out-of-pocket. Therefore, after the policy
implementation, we expect higher traffic in the private patient segment, which is more
profitable for hospitals.
Key downside risks for the hospital sector are lower government reimbursement rate for
COVID-19 treatment, COVID-19 vaccine delay, and cancellation of the standard class policy.
In contrast, the key upside risk is the new revenue stream from COVID-19 vaccination,
whose magnitude is largely unknown and has not been priced in by the market.
We prefer MIKA and HEAL for our top-picks. MIKA will be the main beneficiary of the
standard class policy, as its private patient contribution is still >85% of revenue. While for
HEAL, we see its valuation is undemanding, at 15.6x EV/EBITDA 12MF (-0.5 SD), still below
the ASEAN peers at 18x, and it has more potential upsides with the ongoing efficiency plan.

Sector Rating: Overweight
Analyst(s): Ariyanto Kurniawan/Wesley Louis Alianto
Indonesia’s nickel sector is changing rapidly; more to come. The nickel industry
dynamics have changed after Indonesia surprisingly implemented the first nickel ore
export ban in 2014, leading to a “migration” of Chinese NPI players to Indonesia (Morowali)
to secure nickel ore supply, the key ingredient to produce NPI. Indonesia’s nickel
production has increased by almost fourfold within only 4 years, from only 100k tons in
2015 to around 480k tons in 2019. ANTM and INCO’s combined market share in Indonesia’s
nickel production declined to 19% in 2019 from almost 100% in 2015. The Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) forecasts Indonesia’s nickel production to increase to
around 1.1mn tons by 2024 or around 18% CAGR, driven by growing NPI production.
However, class I nickel’s share for battery is forecasted to remain small at 20% of total
production despite the abundance of limonite ore reserves for battery. Indonesia
accounted for 19% of the global refined nickel production in 2019; this number will
increase to almost 40% by 2024.
Nickel is still a stainless-steel play, at least for now. While the most exciting story about
nickel will come from battery, 70% of today’s nickel market is dominated by stainless steel,
whereas battery is around 5% of the demand. Thus, the volatility of nickel price will still be
driven by the stainless steel market, primarily in China, the sole growth driver of global
stainless steel production, with a 50% market share. Global stainless steel production is
estimated to decline by 8% to 47.2mn tons, reflecting double-digit declines in other
developed countries, while China’s decline is estimated at less than 4% from last year.
ANTM is our only buy call amid strong earnings contribution from gold. While we
think there is still upside risk to nickel price from weak USD, the nickel industry
fundamentals remain unchanged; the nickel market is oversupplied. Norilsk Nickel
forecasts nickel supply to exceed demand by 148k tons this year, after 4 straight years of
deficits since 2016, and to still have a surplus of 100k tons in 2022, driven by growing NPI
supply from Indonesia, which has been largely uninterrupted by the pandemic. Recovery in
nickel demand next year (in-line with recovery in global stainless steel production) and the
scale of NPI expansions in Indonesia are the key issues to determine nickel price direction,
in our view. ANTM (Buy, Rp1,300 TP) is our only buy call on the sector due to its strong
earnings contribution from gold, and we maintain our Neutral call on INCO (Neutral,
Rp4,000 TP) due to weaker earnings next year, as the company will undergo up to 5
months of maintenance.

Media
We expect both SCMA and MNCN to generate high single-digit to low-teens revenue
growth in 2021F, backed by improving economic outlook and more contribution from
digital revenues. The government’s commitment to provide financial aid next year will
cushion the lower-income segment. Meanwhile, rising commodity prices (i.e., for coal and
CPO) will support consumers’ purchasing power in ex-Java areas. This will trigger FMCG
companies to increase their A&P budget next year. We also think the advertisement
demand from startup companies will recover next year, especially after collecting another
round of funding.
With all-new digital initiatives, we think both MNCN and SCMA will see higher revenue
contribution from their digital business. For instance, MNCN has secured a multi-channel
network agreement with Facebook and TikTok in 2H20 and should book the full benefit
next year. This agreement is better than with YouTube, as it provides a minimum
guarantee. Meanwhile, RCTI+ has also transformed into a super-app after integrating
several features, such as news, games, exclusive talent search, UGC, radio, etc. This will help
the company generate MAUs and increase its rate card for digital slots. In comparison,
SCMA through Vidio.com continues to expand its subscriber base, though we think the
platform will continue to book net loss in 2021F. However, we think Vidio.com could
challenge global OTT platforms, given its competitive advantages, such as a strong
production house, cheaper package prices, and lower data consumption. We think this
platform can help SCMA get a valuation rerating in the future.
Nevertheless, we also highlight potential downside risks from analog switch-off (ASO). We
think ASO could change the competition landscape of the FTA TV industry in Indonesia
through a lower entry barrier. Available slots in select regions will increase significantly
with ASO, and we think this could change the current audience share. To note, Nielsen
conducts regular measurements on TV ratings and audience shares in 11 cities, which
currently have limited slots available for additional FTA TV players. However, we highlight
that the TV rating battle is determined by TV programs, and so far, no other major media
groups have strong production houses as MNCN and SCMA do. Therefore, we think the
negative impact still manageable for both companies.

Natural gas demand will recover, backed by improving economic outlook, although we
think the demand needs additional 3-6 months to return to the pre-COVID-19 level.
However, we also highlight the potential gas demand from PLN’s gasification projects. To
note, PLN plans to convert 52 diesel-fired power plants into gas-fired power plants in the
next two years, or by 1Q21 at the latest, as stipulated in the Ministerial Decree of MEMR.
These projects could provide additional gas demand of up to 167 BBTUD. Gas distributor
companies could also benefit from rising foreign direct investment in Indonesia. Plant
investment in industrial estates within Java area could help distributor companies see gas
demand increase, and we think PGAS will benefit more, given its vast pipeline network
across Java and Sumatra.
Improving crude oil price outlook will also benefit upstream contractors. This could help
contractors increase oil and gas lifting and hence improve their profitability. In addition, we
think the assets impairment will be limited in the future, as companies have significantly
reduced their long-term oil price assumptions. We also highlight potential incentives from
the government for the oil and gas industry; we think they could help the industry face the
“triple shock” (i.e., sluggish demand, low oil price, and foreign exchange volatility).
On the downside risks, we highlight the potential extension of the new gas price at
USD 6/MMBTU to all industries, on top of 7 industries and power sectors, as stipulated in
the Presidential Decree and the Ministerial Decree of MEMR. This will lead to distribution
spread and ROE decline, though we think the implementation will not materialize in 1H21,
in view of the requirement to revise previous regulations and negotiations with upstream
contractors, gas distributor companies, and the Ministry of Finance.

More stability on broiler and DOC prices ahead. We see high possibilities of more stable
broiler and DOC prices next year due to a deceleration of grandparent stock (GPS) import
quota realization in 2019-20 and a more transparent approach to culling regulations. The
2019 GPS import quota was flat YoY, while the 2020 realization is on track to reach 635k
chicks (-10.2% YoY). Given the 50-60 weeks of production time needed between GPS and
DOC final stock (FS), this decline in GPS import quota for 2 consecutive years should lower
FS supply in 2021. Further, continuous support from the government to stabilize the supply
and demand by enacting more transparent culling regulations, stricter supervision, and
projection of oversupply numbers by the Ministry of Agriculture should be more effective
in supporting prices.
Demand support from continuous social safety net and protein downtrading. The
COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the decline in overall broiler demand in 2020,
especially among mid-low income segments, given the weakening purchasing power. In
2021, the government will continue distributing five key social safety net stimulus
packages to revive consumption in general. We continue to see that recovery in poultry
demand at the grassroots level will be supported by three key social safety net programs:
the conditional cash transfer (PKH), basic food card (sembako card), and cash transfer.
Additionally, soaring beef price on top of income pressure will result in protein substitution
from beef to poultry. With a per capita consumption of 2.63 kg and 62.2% of beef
consumed by the mid-low income segment, which is heavily affected by the pandemic, we
estimate an additional yearly broiler demand of 109mn-122mn, based on the 2019
number. These numbers roughly account for one month of additional poultry demand
during the feeble period.
Risks on margins: high-bases of corn and soybean prices. Low corn prices have helped
poultry integrators’ profitability in 9M20, with the feed segment booking all-time high
margins. The recovery of broiler and DOC prices will result in the return of independent
farmers, which will bring higher demand for corn in 2021. Simultaneously, the USDA has
indicated a production decline in major soybean-producing areas within the US in 4Q20-
1H21 due to dry weather. Based on these factors, local corn and soybean meal prices are
bound to continue rising in 2021. Regardless, we see that poultry integrators are more
prepared to face these issues, given their heavy investment in corn dryers and silos since
2016.
Top pick. We believe the better demand and supply landscape will be enough to offset the
risks of higher corn and soybean meal prices. Our top pick for the poultry sector is JPFA,
thanks to its enticing valuation compared to the market leader, CPIN. Simultaneously, with
the expected broiler price recovery in 2021, JPFA has the highest exposure to the breeding
segment compared to CPIN and MAIN.

Recurring income to remain stunted partially into 2021. Rental discounts currently
apply at 50% of blended rental rates across mall developers and we expect this to continue
into 2021 as conditions on the ground will take time to recover to pre-COVID levels of
activity. As discounts are broadly based on footfall, and there is an Industrial Ministry
regulation capping footfall at 50% of capacity, we expect such a discount level to continue,
conservatively, until 8M21. Following this however we expect quicker recovery rates, and
we see developers under our coverage, notably PWON, to be solid recovery proxies as
majority have shifted tenancy mix away from retail and toward lifestyle tenants.

Industrial estates pricey but worthy investment proxy. Industrial estate names have
recovered meaningfully from the slump in early 2020, however they remain the best
proxies to the government’s FDI push. In terms of fundamental performance, DMAS
outperformed peers by a significant degree in 2020, aided by structurally sound
operational profile from its massive, contiguous land bank at lower ASPs. Additionally, we
remain positive on demand in the Cikarang area relative to other areas further east, as
demonstrated by DMAS’ strong performance even amid the government’s push to
promote free leases on upcoming Central Javanese industrial estates. We hence think
Cikarang and Central Java could attract different portions of the FDI pie, with larger
investments continuing to favour Cikarang for its supply chain and proximity to main
markets, while Central Java benefits from lower labour and free land cost, which could
impinge on demand in existing Central Java industrial estates operated by peers such as
KIJA and DILD. Despite another solid year of presales, DMAS’ inquiries level remains well-
supported heading into 2021. BEST, conversely, we think its scattered land profile at high
land price should continue to pose challenges for the company in 2021.
Top picks – PWON, BSDE. We favour PWON and BSDE among other property names, the
former for its recovery proxy profile as recovery towards pre-COVID situation continues,
and the latter for its strong project portfolio placing it as presales leader.
Retail
COVID-19 may stay for a while, remain cautiously optimistic. We believe there are two
important things to watch on COVID-19, i.e., another lockdown and the vaccine timeline.
While waiting for the public’s turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine—which will be in 2Q21
at the earliest, according to the latest government roadmap—we expect certain
social/public limitations may still be imposed to control the virus spread at least until 1H21.
Meaningful recovery for retailers may start after that. Therefore, we based our pick on the
below filters to anticipate ups and downs until vaccine and recovery:
− Avoid heavy dependency on Eid festive season. Considering >75% of the public
may only be vaccinated in 2H21, we believe the Eid festive season in 2Q21 will be
weak again. We expect the recovery to remain slow, with sales still c. 70-80% of
normal level by 2Q21, slightly above the current recovery pace. RALS and LPPF
were the two retailers that heavily rely on Eid to drive their sales (2Q: >40% of FY
sales) and EBIT (2Q: 98%/6%% of FY EBIT). Meanwhile, ACES/MAPA/MAPI have
larger sales proportions in 4Q, driven by Christmas/New Year festive seasons.
− Seek business models that are most resilient and that recover better.
Benchmarking to global retailers, we found that home furnishing & improvements
and sporting goods stores have more resilient sales amid the COVID-19 pandemic,
whereas department stores were among the worst hit, which may have
exacerbated the challenge of competition from e-commerce in the past years. The
spending index released by Bank Mandiri also suggested that spending recovery
in retail has returned to the pre-pandemic level, while department stores lagged,
with its spending halved from normal as of Oct-20. Given these trends, we favor
ACES and MAPI, which have shown sales resiliency and faster recovery vs. peers,
and we avoid pure department-store play, such as RALS and LPPF.
− Stay with middle-up target market. Spending tracking by Bank Mandiri showed
that high- and middle-income groups’ spending recovered close to 90% of normal
as per Oct-20, whereas low-income group’s spending recovery has been stagnant
since reopening, at <80% of normal. The recovery trajectory may be
understandable, as the middle-low- and low-income segments experienced salary
cuts and job losses the most, according to data from Statistics Indonesia.
Therefore, we prefer retailers that cater middle-up segments, such as ACES, MAPA,
MAPI, as these segments’ purchasing power is less impacted by COVID-19 and
their recovery may likely be swifter.
Key downside risks for the retail sector are COVID-19 vaccine delay, slower-than-expected
purchasing power recovery, and drastic consumer behavior changes toward brick-and-
mortar stores. Key upside risks include a faster-than-expected vaccination timeline, which
would lead to faster-than-expected economic recovery.
We prefer MAPI as our top-pick, as we expect its recovery to be faster, considering its
middle-up target market, diverse business model, sizable cost efficiencies/operating
leverage, and good stock liquidity. Assuming 2021F sales are at 90% of the 2019 level, MAPI
is trading attractively at 17x PE2021F (-1 SD) vs. global peers at 25x PE2021F.

Telecom
Upcoming telecom regulation revision paves the way for a more efficient and
advanced telecom industry. The new Job Creation Bill, released in Nov-20, has set the
path for a more efficient and advanced telecom industry by providing the regulatory
framework for spectrum & infrastructure sharing among telecom operators, 700 MHz
spectrum unlocking, telecom tariff management, and telecom licensing. A new
government regulation is currently being drafted to set up the technical terms and
conditions for the various industry aspects governed by the Job Creation Bill. The release of
this new government regulation, likely in early 2021, should tee-off infrastructure sharing.
Infrastructure sharing could help expand the network-reach of smaller telecom operators
and support the industry’s telecom tariff management in curbing over-competitive pricing
in select regions.
Economic recovery should drive better mobile revenue trends in 2021. The mobile
industry’s revenue growth stalled in 2020 due to intensifying competition and weaker
consumer spending power amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, mobile revenue trends
may improve in 2021, along with gradual economic recovery and the return of the
population’s movements during the year. We expect the mobile industry revenue growth
to return to low-to-mid single-digit % in 2021.

4G LTE capex continues; sustained demand for tower rental. Despite the revenue
slowdown in 2020, we expect mobile network operators to continue their 4G LTE network
expansion in 2021. Stronger and wider 4G LTE network will be key to revenue growth
recovery among the mobile network operators. The continued 4G LTE investments mean
sustained demand for tower rental for the independent tower companies, especially SMN
and Tower Bersama. However, we expect the tower companies’ revenue growth to taper to
mid-to-high single-digit % in 2021, as we expect less inorganic growth support in the year.
Profitability-wise, the towercos are in a good position to defend their EBITDA margins as
they benefit from higher tenancy ratios that help compensate for the impact of discounts
on tower contract renewal rates in 2021. Furthermore, the towercos’ net profit and asset
valuation should also benefit from the low interest-rate cycle in 2021.

Opportunity for sector valuation rerating from asset restructuring and tech
convergence. The telecom industry has several valuation-unlocking opportunities as
telecom companies seek to restructure their businesses in 2021. Telkom Indonesia, for
instance, will be transferring more telecom towers from its mobile subsidiary, Telkomsel, to
its tower subsidiary, Mitratel, as part of a corporate valuation-unlocking exercise.
Telkomsel’s recent investments into leading tech platform, Gojek, could imply more
financial and operational integration between Telkom and the growing Indonesian tech
industry in the future. Meanwhile, Indosat could unlock its value by divesting non-core
assets, such as electronic payment platform and tower assets, and investing more into its
4G LTE network. Lastly, XL Axiata has a comfortable balance sheet that could strengthen
further its national broadband network, including home LTE and FTTH networks.

Toll Road
Traffic may exceed pre-pandemic level. JSMR’s traffic in Oct-20 and its first-half-of-Nov-
20 revenues run rate reached 87% and 96% to pre-pandemic levels, respectively, beating
MANSEK estimates at 75% and 80%, despite the ongoing transitional large-scale social
distancing (PSBB) in Greater Jakarta. We are confident JSMR’s traffic will fully return to the
pre-COVID level in Dec-20, considering the long-holiday at year-end. We expect the 2021
traffic to exceed the pre-pandemic level, following the global trend that indicates highway
traffic has fully returned to normal at the expense of deserted public mass transportation.
We highlight the slow traffic recovery in Indonesia’s mass public transportation, ranging
from MRT, LRT, and the Greater Jakarta city train, which were still down by 60-85% to pre-
COVID levels. The slow recovery in mass public transportation indicates that people are
avoiding crowds, whereas strong traffic recovery in toll roads signals a potential
incremental toll road traffic in 2021, along with the government’s gradual economy
reopening, thus providing upside for JSMR’s future earnings.
Favorable macro environment. Indonesia’s central bank has cut its rate by 125 bps YTD,
which lowered JSMR’s cost of funds from 9.1% in Dec-19 to 7.9% in Sep-20, as its borrowing
rate is based on time deposits (TD) of 3M + 4% margin. Our sensitivity shows that every 100
bps decline in WACD would reduce JSMR’s interest savings by Rp600bn, providing an
upside for its earnings. We think the street has not priced in the lowered WACD,
considering the Rp1.5tn consensus earnings forecast in FY21 (MANSEK: Rp2.0tn).
Meanwhile, the 70 bps decline in the 10Y-government bond yield amplified JSMR’s WACC
on the back of a lower risk-free rate.
Key risk: another round of strict social distancing implementation. We are fully aware
that JSMR’s traffic will largely depend on COVID-19 handling. However, as the government
eyes to balance between COVID-19 new cases and economic recovery, we think another
strict social distancing is improbable to be reimposed.
JSMR is our top pick in infrastructure space. The firm support of the Ministry of SOE
(MSOE), which ensures JSMR to operate commercially, and the creation of the Nusantara
Investment Authority are the key indicators that JSMR’s CAPEX cycle is already behind. Our
target price of Rp7,040 is based on a DCF-valuation, translating to 12.7x EV/EBITDA 2020,
+1.5x stdev of the 7Y historical mean. We think the valuation rerating is justified, given the
higher EPS on the incremental increase in traffic and the favorable monetary and macro
conditions, which led to a lower WACC.
