Bank Mandiri (BMRI IJ) (Buy) - Earnings update, TP adjustment

Banks EW 338 10th Feb, 2025

TP of IDR7,600 (down from IDR8,700)

Post FY24 results, we revise our FY25-26F earnings estimates. We also add a new forecast year, FY27F. Key reasons for our revised earnings forecasts are:

    1. Concern about strong loan growth of ~20% y-y, yet NII only rose by ~6% y-y in FY24. This can be attributed to the bank’s lack of loan pricing power as well as higher funding costs (reflecting tight liquidity). We think such a high level of loan growth is unlikely to be repeated in FY25F. Thus, it is no surprise that the bank is guiding for a lower loan growth of 10-12% in 2025 – a marked deceleration from 20% in 2024.

    2. Slight decline in NIMs in 4Q24, reflecting our key thesis on the Indonesia banking sector. Specifically, we think that liquidity in the system will remain tight, but it should not worsen. This would reduce NIMs slightly for BMRI, which we estimate at 4.7% in 2025F, and 4.7-4.6% in 2026-27F.

    Our revised earnings forecasts for FY25-26F imply earnings cuts of ~10.3-11.6%, resulting in implied ROAEs of 19.4-20.1% in FY25-27F – one of the highest in the Indonesian banking system. In our view, a near-term share price catalyst is further improvement in system liquidity. Of late, we have not only seen BI reducing the benchmark rate to 6.5% but also SRBIs blended rate to 6.715% (as of 31 Jan 2025) from 7.253% (as of 27 Dec 2024). Key catalysts include easing of SRBI issuance which relieve pressure for BMRI’s CoF

    Valuation and risks

    We derive our TP of IDR7,600 based on a DuPont analysis, assuming a risk-free rate of 6.5% (unchanged), an equity risk premium of 7.8% (unchanged), growth of 11.0% (unchanged), beta 1.05x (up from 1.03x) and a CAR-adjusted ROAE of 19.5% (down from 20.0%). We also use 2025F book as reference. The implied multiples at our TP are 2.3x 2025F book and 12.4x 2025F earnings (compared to current multiples of 2.5x and 13.7x, respectively). Key risks to our view are worsening macroeconomic trends, unfavorable regulatory changes, tighter liquidity competition (which would increase funding costs), worsening credit quality (which would raise credit costs), and higher opex. We also want to highlight the upcoming shareholders’ meeting with management changes a main agenda item.

    Company profilePT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk or Bank Mandiri, headquartered in Jakarta, is the largest bank in Indonesia in terms of assets, loans and deposits.
    Valuation MethodologyWe derive our TP of IDR7,600 based on a DuPont analysis, assuming a risk-free rate of 6.5%, an equity risk premium of 7.8%, growth of 11.0%, beta 1.05x, and a CAR-adjusted ROAE of 19.5%. We also use 2025F book as reference. The implied multiples at our TP are 2.3x 2025F book and 12.4x 2025F earnings . The benchmark for this stock is the JCI.
    Risks that may impede the achievement of the target priceKey downside risks to our view are worsening macroeconomic trends, unfavorable regulatory changes, and tighter liquidity competition (which would increase funding cost), and worsening credit quality (which would raise credit costs), and higher opex. We also want to highlight the upcoming shareholders’ meeting with main agenda of management changes.

    ESGBank Mandiri is at the forefront of sustainable banking and has taken steps to demonstrate its commitment to be the pioneer of sustainable banking.
