KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Net profit IDR 220Bn, -17.0% QoQ and +10.1% YoY, taking 1H26 to IDR 486Bn: 53.6% of FY26F consensus and a beat, with operating profit (62.1%) and EBITDA (58.8%) further ahead; revenue is the only in-line line.
- Revenue IDR 5.4Tn, +7.0% YoY, all of it outside Java, up 17.5% in 1H26, while Jabodetabek fell 1.2% to 35.5% of the total.
- Gross margin 26.8%, +1.6pp YoY, recovering from a soft 1Q26; the half-year gain is only +0.4pp, but the beat is clean, delivered as the tax rate normalised, supporting earnings growth.
- Our read: a good print, and consensus has not caught up with the Lawson-free base. FY26F operating profit consensus of IDR 1.00Tn sits below MIDI’s own ex-Lawson FY25 operating profit of IDR 1.03Tn, so the 62% first-half pace reads as stale estimates, not a one-off. At 9.8x forward P/E versus a 17.9x five-year mean and 14.1x -1SD, the de-rating has outrun the earnings. A second quarter of flat Jabodetabek with no margin offset would change our mind.
