KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- 2Q26 net profit IDR 1.2 Tn, -19.1% QoQ, +562.6% YoY, taking 1H26 to IDR 2.7 Tn: 72.5% of FY26F consensus, 169% of the FY26 target.
- 2Q26 revenue IDR 5.0 Tn, +133.5% YoY, -9.3% QoQ. Volume fell 17.2% QoQ to 4,975 MT while ASP rose 2.6% to a period-high USD 50,486/t: volume, not price.
- 2Q26 gross margin +0.7pp to 39.3%, operating margin -2.4pp to 32.0%. The gap is G&A, up 60.6% QoQ to IDR 339 Bn.
- Our read: a real earnings beat; the revenue shortfall is consensus shape, not demand. 1H26 revenue is 46.0% of FY26F against a 50% pace, but 1H25 was only 36.5% of FY25. The risk is royalty, already 9.9% of 1H26 revenue against 5.1%, with an ESDM top tier above USD 50,000/t that 2Q26 ASP clears. It trades at 6.1x blended forward P/E versus a 9.5x mean since March 2024, rather attractive at 35.7% discount. Key watch: whether the royalty revision lands before onshore ore output recovers in 3Q26.
