Company News
1. ERAA IJ recorded sales growth in 9M22 by +12.06% YoY to IDR34.94 trillion (vs IDR31.18 trillion in 9M21). However, net profit decreased by -5.41% YoY to IDR680.29 billion (vs IDR719.21 billion in 9M21) (IQ Plus). MNCS Comment: The increase in revenue was supported by the increase in revenue from the cellular phone and tablet segment (+10.58% YoY) followed by the accessories and others segment (+69.50% YoY). Meanwhile, the decrease in net profit was in line with the increase in operating expenses (+30.16% YoY) which weighed on the operating profit performance (-1.92% YoY). We also see the decline in net profit as a side effect of aggressive business expansion into its new 4 pillars, thus making the economic benefits to not be realized directly. Currently, ERAA is trading at the level of 7.03x/1.00x PER/PBV.
2. MYOR IJ is optimistic that revenue and net profit in FY22E can grow +10% YoY/+8.3% YoY, respectively (Market Bisnis). MNCS Comment: We believe the company can achieve the target, where in 9M22, revenue and net profit grew +11.78% YoY/+10.92% YoY respectively. We see that efficiency in advertising and promotion costs also supports bottom-line performance amid rising production prices. However, we anticipate several risks going forward, stemming from: 1) persistently high commodity prices which increase packaging costs; 2) decline in market share. MYOR is currently traded at the level of 36.64x/4.51x PER/PBV.
