Improving performance; new TP of IDR1,850

FY25-26F earnings adjusted by ~-1.2-0.6%; maintain Neutral

Bank CIMB (BNGA) has a notable position in Indonesia’s SME and consumer businesses, including mortgages, unsecured loans, and auto financing, in our view. In recent quarters, the bank has recorded improved operating results. We have also seen improved asset quality, which led to a lower credit cost (CoC). The bank reported FY24 headline profit of IDR6.8tn (+5% y-y), which was well ahead of our projection. For 2025, management has guided loan growth of 5-7%. It expects NIM of 3.9-4.2% and CoC of below 1.0%. Thus, we adjust our FY25-26F earnings projections by ~-1.2-0.6% and revise our TP to IDR1,850 (from IDR2,200).

Summary of earnings forecast changes

We update our earnings projections for FY25F and FY26F, as well as add FY27F as a new forecast year. Broadly, we have made more conservative earnings projections for BNGA: we reduce FY25-26F earnings by -1.2-0.6%, driven largely by high funding costs (reflecting generally the tight liquidity in the banking system). We project headline profit to reach IDR6.3tn in FY25F (+0.6% from our previous projection) and IDR6.6tn in FY26F (-1.2% from our previous estimate). We expect reported ROAEs to decline to 11.3-11.6% in FY25-26F from our previous estimates of 11.9-12.4%. On the balance sheet, we assume gross loans of IDR229tn for FY25F and IDR240tn for FY26F (-1.5% compared to our previous projections). On the deposits side, we assume IDR274tn for FY25F and IDR287tn for FY26F (+5.2% compared to our previous projections). These bring the bank’s implied LDR to 83.6% for FY25-26F.

Valuation and risks

Our new TP of IDR1,850 is based on DuPont analysis, with key parameters as follows – a risk-free rate of 6.5%, an equity risk premium of 7.80%, a beta of 1.00x (previously 0.85x, due to higher sector risk), and a CAR-adjusted ROAE of 13.5%. At our TP, the stock would trade at a 2025F P/B of 0.8x. We maintain our Neutral rating on BNGA to reflect our long-term view that Indonesia’s major banks will likely continue to increase their market share. Upside/downside risks are better/worsening macroeconomic developments, higher/lower loan growth, higher/lower NIM, and/or lower/higher NPLs. Our preferred stocks in the sector are BBCA and BMRI (both rated Buy).
