MNCS Comment: The INDF’s positive growth was supported by an increase in almost all segments, especially from the ICBP and the plantation sector in line with the increase in CPO prices. We believe that this year INDF will still record positive growth, especially with the support from Pinehill. Currently INDF is trading at 9.08x/1.38x PE/PBV.

MNCS Comment: Pandemic conditions had weighed on HMSP's sales volume by almost -10% YoY. We estimate that volume will still be prone to pressure this year, especially after the stipulation of an average 17% increase in excise tax in FY21E.
