Map Aktif Adiperkasa (MAPA IJ) (Buy) - Emerging stronger

Retail JW SH SC 508 4th Nov, 2024

Maintain Buy with higher TP of IDR1,430; roll forward base year to 2025F

3Q24 review: Within expectations

Overall, the results were in line with our expectations, as we believe that 2Q24 marked the lowest margin point for the year (read Lowest margin for the year). GPM improved q-q by +150bp, as the company completed its overseas inventory clearance in July while opex as a percentage of sales continued their quarterly recovery trend due to cost-cutting initiatives.

Further upside likely from potential SSSG resurgence

We anticipate continued improvement in GPM in 4Q24F, as we do not expect significant clearance activities and project 4Q to be MAPA's strongest quarter for the year. Although 3Q24 same-store sales growth (SSSG) remained at +4.5% y-y (+3.6% y-y for 9M24), we believe there's potential for SSSG to recover to management’s previous target of mid-to-high single-digit range for 2025F, driven by a lower base performance in 2024F and potentially better consumer buying power. This implies potential upside for the share price as we currently still forecast mid-single-digit SSSG for 2025-2026F, lower than the company’s medium-to-longer-term target of mid-to-high single-digit growth.

Maintain Buy with higher TP of IDR1,430 (+32% upside)

We raise our FY24F/25F/26F EPS estimates by +8%/+3%/+4%, following the stronger earnings recovery in 3Q24, which we believe marked the bottom of the margin cycle for the year in the second quarter. Consequently, we raise our target price to IDR1,430 (from IDR1,000), rolling forward our valuation base to 2025F with an unchanged target multiple of 20.6x 2025F P/E.

We believe that overall margins should continue to recover in 4Q24F as we expect more full-price sales after the inventory clearance ended in July 2024 and higher traffic towards the year-end holiday season. In the medium to longer term, the story of increasing adoption of sports and activewear, expansion into overseas markets, and potentially better consumer buying power next year should continue to position MAPA as the fastest-growing retailer in terms of revenue, with a 23% CAGR over 2023-2026F (compared to the retailers’ average of 14%). Currently, the stock is trading at 15.6x 2025F P/E.
