KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Aug-26 net profit was IDR 4.9Tn, 2.8% below July and 13.1% above last August, on a soft base of IDR 750Bn provisions against IDR 261Bn now. 8M26 profit IDR 40.2Tn, at pace with consensus.
- August was 2026’s first month with an asset yield above the same month of 2025. NIM held at 5.6% for a second month. The 8M26 squeeze was never funding. Cost of funding was 1.09% against 1.08%, while the asset yield fell to 6.29% from 6.66%.
- Loans rose 1.7% to IDR 1,018Tn, up 10.5% on the year, with deposits flat. BCA funded the difference by pledging bonds, repo up IDR 16.8Tn. LDR is 81.0%, the highest this year.
- Our read: the margin has turned, and it is the asset side doing it. At 2.87x P/BV, below its five-year -2SD, much looks discounted against a 23.7% RoE. Key watch: whether the yield gain holds in September.
