U.S. PMI Index in May 2025: Mixed Signals Amidst Tariffs and Supply Chain Shifts
In May 2025, the S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI rose to 52 due to stronger domestic demand and inventory buildup amid tariff concerns, while the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell slightly to 48.5, reflecting ongoing contraction. The service sector showed mixed results: the S&P Global Services PMI improved to 53.7 with increased hiring, but the ISM Services PMI dropped to 49.9, signaling contraction influenced by rising costs from tariffs. Overall, tariffs and trade issues continued to pressure both sectors, causing inflation and supply challenges.

“TBIG: Solid Earnings, Amid Flat Revenues”
TBIG posted a resilient 1Q25 performance despite relatively flat revenue. TBIG booked revenue of IDR 1.73 trillion (-0.5% QoQ, +1.6% YoY), broadly in line with our estimate, the consensus, and the 5-year historical average (Phintas: 25.35%; Consensus: 24.6%; 5-year avg: 24.2%). The tower segment remained the main contributor (>91% of total revenue) but experienced a slight contraction of -0.9% QoQ to IDR 1.58 trillion. Conversely, the fiber segment delivered solid growth (+3.7% QoQ; +10.3% YoY) to IDR 151 billion, reflecting sustained demand for fiber amid weak tower leasing momentum.
While top-line growth was limited, cost efficiency helped operational performance exceed expectations. EBITDA edged up to IDR 1.11 trillion (+1.1% QoQ, +1.2% YoY), beating our forecast (Phintas: 26.77%) and broadly in line with consensus and the 5-year average (Consensus: 25.1%; 5-year avg: 24.2%). The improvement was primarily driven by a combination of a -4.1% QoQ decrease in cost of revenue and a substantial -13.9% QoQ decline in operating expenses, resulting in EBITDA margin expansion to 85.6% in 1Q25 (vs 84.2% in 4Q24).
Cost and tax efficiency further supported bottom-line growth. TBIG booked net profit of IDR 413 billion (+112.8% QoQ; +98.5% YoY), in line with our estimate, consensus, and the 5-year average (Phintas: 25.05%; Consensus: 26.3%; 5-year avg: 20.7%). The improvement was driven by a -5.1% QoQ reduction in interest expenses and a significant -24.9% QoQ drop in tax expenses, which also boosted net profit margin to 23.9% (vs 12.2% in 4Q24). The balance sheet also strengthened, with DER falling to 2.96x in 1Q25 (vs 3.23x in 4Q24).
We maintain our HOLD recommendation on TBIG, consistent with our previous report. Despite notable improvements in operational and bottom-line metrics in 1Q25, the near-term outlook for the tower business remains clouded by demand-side uncertainty. One of the key risks lies in the ongoing consolidation process between EXCL and FREN, which together contribute approximately 31.92% of TBIG’s total revenue. Downside Risks: (1) High interest rates potentially pressuring profitability margins; (2) A meaningful number of decommissioned sites due to EXCL-FREN consolidation.

“TOWR: Earnings Soft, FTTH Emerges as Growth Engine “
TOWR recorded revenue of Rp3.21 trillion in 1Q25 (-2.38% QoQ; +5.31% YoY), relatively in line with our estimate, consensus, and the 5-year historical average (Phintas: 24.57%; Cons: 24.24%; Avg 5-Years: 23.8%). The sequential decline in revenue was mainly driven by a sharp drop in the connectivity segment, which fell -14.43% QoQ to Rp350 billion, as well as a slight contraction in the tower segment the main contributor which declined -1.56% QoQ. On the other hand, the FTTH segment posted solid growth of +37.11% QoQ and +84.75% YoY, reaching Rp218 billion, reflecting strong momentum in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) rollout.
On the profitability side, EBITDA came in at Rp2.68 trillion in 1Q25 (-2.76% QoQ; +5.25% YoY), in line with our estimate, consensus, and the 5-year average (Phintas: 24.55%; Cons: 24.19%; Avg 5-Years: 23.8%). The QoQ EBITDA contraction slightly pressured the EBITDA margin to 83.48% in 1Q25 (vs 83.54% in 1Q24). This margin pressure extended down to the bottom line, with net profit declining to Rp803 billion (-9.56% QoQ; +0.66% YoY), and net profit margin narrowing to 25.02% from 26.17% in 1Q24.
On the Operationally side, TOWR showed signs of a quarterly slowdown. Total towers increased marginally to 35.51k units (+0.30% QoQ), while total tenants remained flat at 58.04k (+0.02% QoQ), resulting in a slight decline in tenancy ratio to 1.63x (vs 1.64x in 4Q24). On the fiber side, total FTTT fiber length rose slightly by +0.61% QoQ to 218.84k km, while FTTH subscribers grew a solid +7.96% QoQ. Meanwhile, average monthly revenue per tenant dropped -1.46% QoQ to Rp12.3 million, and revenue per fiber ticked up only slightly by +0.19% QoQ to Rp839k, signaling ongoing monetization pressure in early-stage fiber expansion.
We maintain our BUY recommendation on TOWR with a target price of Rp650, in line with our previous report. While margin pressure remains a near-term concern, we see TOWR’s competitive edge in the fiber segment as a key long-term growth engine amid softening tower performance during the ongoing industry consolidation. Furthermore, asset monetization both in fiber and towers will be essential to support profitability and sustain future growth. Downside Risks: 1) Elevated interest rates that could pressure profitability; 2) Intensifying competition in the fiber segment which may squeeze margins; and 3) High site deactivations following the EXCL-FREN consolidation.
