This article provides an engaging and detailed look at Trimegah Bangun Persada, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, and Dayamitra Telekomunikasi, offering insights into their financial health, market performance, and future outlook.

Trimegah Bangun Persada: A Nickel Giant’s Promising Future

Trimegah Bangun Persada, a leading nickel producer based in Obi Island, has shown remarkable performance in its latest quarterly results. The company recorded its strongest quarterly earnings since its IPO, surpassing expectations. In the third quarter of 2024, the company posted a net profit of Rp2.03 trillion, marking an 18.2% year-on-year increase and a 12.6% quarter-on-quarter rise. This robust performance was primarily driven by higher limonite sales and substantial associate income from Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL).

For the nine months ending in September 2024, Trimegah Bangun Persada reported a net profit of Rp4.84 trillion, an 8.4% year-on-year increase, surpassing 90% of both internal and consensus projections. Despite expectations of weaker performance in the fourth quarter due to softer nickel prices, the company remains optimistic. The anticipation of a nickel price recovery in 2025 and a strong production outlook support this positive perspective.

The company’s revenue growth in the third quarter was bolstered by a 103.2% year-on-year increase in limonite sales volume. The associate income surge by 54.7% year-on-year was driven by higher sales volumes of Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) and other downstream products from HPL and Obi Nickel Cobalt (ONC). Moreover, electrolytic cobalt began contributing to the company’s revenue, with 238 tonnes sold in the third quarter, achieving a cash margin of US\$13,739 per tonne.

Looking ahead, the approval of mining quotas could continue to support London Metal Exchange (LME) prices in 2025, benefiting integrated players like Trimegah Bangun Persada. The company’s total reserves and resources have seen a slight increase, enhancing its long-term prospects. The company’s earnings estimates have been revised upwards, reflecting higher sales volumes and FeNi Average Selling Prices (ASP) in 2024, as well as increased MHP and downstream HPL sales volumes for 2024-2025.

In conclusion, Trimegah Bangun Persada is maintaining its “BUY” recommendation with a target price of Rp1,480, based on an EV/EBITDA target of 8.6x, suggesting significant potential for growth in the coming years.
