Valuation: Lagging for a Reason
Company data showed 1Q19 RNAV of IDR594 per share, translated to 77.78% discount of the stock price to RNAV and trailing PBV as of 5M19 by 0.77x, near-1 STD of PBV. We also acknowledge thin liquidity in the market. Though it is understandable for a company which has many developments and incured extensive capex, KPIG has consistently accomplished what is targeted over the time. As MNCS is affiliated to the Company, it does not offer any recommendation related to company prospects. Recommendation: NOT RATED.
