KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Net profit IDR 148 Bn in 2Q26, +84.1% QoQ against a IDR 3 Bn loss in 2Q25, taking 1H26 to IDR 228 Bn or 42.9% of FY26 consensus, almost all of it from net finance cost down 33.7% YoY and tax at 40.5% against 95.4%.
- 2Q26 revenue IDR 9.4 Tn, +17.7% YoY, on 9.5% more tonnes and 7.5% higher revenue per ton, domestic volume +13.7%.
- 2Q26 gross margin 22.7%, up 2.9pp, yet operating margin 0.1pp lower at 3.7%. Selling expense rose 72.4% YoY on freight and promotion, yet domestic market share eased to 46.3% from 46.9%.
- Our read: the recovery is real but bought, not earned. 1H26 revenue at 47.5% of consensus beats the 44.3% SMGR managed in 1H25, yet EBITDA at 45.1% trails last year’s 45.9% because the margin gain went into freight and promotion. At 3.7x forward EV/EBITDA against a 5.9x mean, that is discounted; durability is not. Key watch: whether 3Q26 selling expense per ton retreats while domestic share holds near 46%.
