KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Aug-26 net profit IDR 4.5Tn, flat MoM, up 10.0% YoY. Interest expense jumped 34.3% YoY to IDR 4.7Tn against interest income up 11.1%, so net interest income fell 1.2% YoY to IDR 6.5Tn, with NIM at 4.0% against 4.7%.
- 8M26 net profit IDR 37.5Tn, annualised ROE 21.4% against 18.2%, on cost not margin: the cost-to-income ratio fell 7.3pp to 35.9% with promotion expense down 74.4% YoY. At 65.4% of FY26F consensus against a 66.7% pace (Bank Only vs consolidated).
- Total loans slipped 0.2% MoM to IDR 1,592Tn, a second flat month, up only 6.4% since Dec-25 against 7-9% guidance. Time deposits surged 47.8% YoY to IDR 501Tn. BMRI’s share of the first IDR 40Tn Himbara-wide Agrinas instalment falls due 27-28 Sep.
- Our read: earnings are intact but the mix has changed. Non-interest income and lower promotion expense carry growth, not NII. At 1.44x P/BV, below its five-year -1SD of 1.59x, much is discounted. Key watch: whether NIM bottoms in September.
