Global Market Highlights
The DJIA closed flat at +0.01% on Friday (17/11), while S&P500 (+0.13%) and Nasdaq (+0.08%). Wall Street showed relative strength, with investors focusing on the release of preliminary building permits data in Oct-2023, recording 1.49 million units, up +1.1% MoM (vs the consensus of 1.45 million units). Additionally, the relatively flat UST yield at 4.44% also contributed to the index's momentum.

Domestic Update
Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that based on transactions from November 13 - 16, 2023, non-residents in the domestic financial market recorded a net buy of IDR7.33 trillion (net buy of IDR2.49 trillion in the SBN, net buy of IDR870 billion in the stock market, and net buy of IDR3.97 trillion in the SRBI). MNCS Comment: We view this inflow as indicative of investor optimism about the end of The Fed's benchmark interest rate hike era, supported by the easing of US inflation data in Oct-2023 and dovish statements from several Fed officials. With BI's expectation to maintain the BI7DRR at 6.0% until the end of this year, we anticipate that the ongoing inflow can drive the index and strengthen the Rupiah.
Company News
1. NCKL IJ opens the opportunity to export nickel sulfate to battery-producing countries such as Korea and Japan (Emiten News). MNCS Comment: We view this export potential positively as it can increase the company's client base abroad, supported by the continuously rising demand for EVs. The addition to the export portfolio is expected to boost the company's performance in the future. Currently, NCKL is traded at a level of 12.47x/3.43x PER/PBV.
2. CLEO IJ targets double-digit growth above the industry average in 2024 (Market Bisnis). MNCS Comment: In 9M23, CLEO recorded revenue growth of +13.6% YoY and net profit growth of +35.7% YoY. With the increase in production capacity from 5 billion liters to 5.5 liters for 2024, along with distribution expansion, we are optimistic that the company can achieve this target. Currently, CLEO is traded at a level of 28.78x/5.73x PER/PBV.
3. ADHI IJ reported a new contract value of IDR30.3 trillion until 10M23 (Kontan). MNCS Comment: We note that the new contract value grew +58.6% YoY (vs IDR19.1 trillion in 10M22). With the FY23E new contract value target of IDR27 trillion, the realization until 10M23 reached 112.2%, or exceeding the target. We see this increase was propelled by solid balance sheet and more prudent debt management. Currently, ADHI is traded at a level of 0.41x PBV.
