JPFA's net profit increased 239.6% YoY to IDR3.21 trillion in FY24. The net profit growth aligned with an interest income increase of 13.45% YoY to IDR50 billion in FY24 (vs. IDR44 billion in FY23). In addition, JPFA's interest expenses decreased by 11.98% YoY to IDR870 billion in FY24 (vs. IDR988 billion in FY23).
The Commercial Farm segment successfully booked an operating profit of IDR1.59 trillion in FY24. The Commercial Farm segment's operating profit in FY24 marks the first profit for the segment after experiencing operating losses from 2019 to 2023. The positive performance of the Commercial Farm segment in FY24 was in line with the increase in average Live Bird prices by 9.96% QoQ or 10.38% YoY in 4Q24 to IDR20,174/Kg.
Raw material price stability can potentially drive JPFA's profitability. The average domestic corn price in February 2025 was IDR6,360/kg, which decreased by around 1% MoM from IDR6,426/kg in January 2025. Meanwhile, the average price of Soybean Meal (SBM) was US$300/ton, which decreased by around 3% MoM from US$310/ton in January 2025.
JPFA conducted a study on nutritious meal programs in schools from May to June 2024. Overall, the study's results can improve students' nutritional intake, which is reflected in the reduction of the number of students with malnutrition status by 2.8%. This initiative signifies JPFA's readiness to support and collaborate with the government in the Free Nutritious Meal program, which is currently underway in stages.
With JPFA's performance exceeded our expectations, we increased our FY25F projection. Therefore, we maintain our Buy rating on JPFA with a higher fair value estimate of IDR2,400 per share (Expected PE at 6.83x and EV/EBITDA at 4.73x in FY25F).

Using the Discounted Cash Flow method with a Required Return of 9.15% and Terminal Growth of 7.56%, we estimate BBTN's fair value at 1,250 (4.5x expected P/E). Considering BBTN's fair price and relative valuation below -1 standard deviation of 0.51 of its 5-year P/E, we maintain our buy rating for BBTN with a lower fair value and potential upside of 26.26%

MYOR : Profitability Improved Driven by Product Selling Price Adjustment in 4Q24
MYOR booked revenue growth of 14.57% YoY to IDR36.1 trillion in FY24. The growth was in line with the increase in production capacity from the new plant, the launch of several new products, and product selling price adjustments. The potential for increased demand during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr is believed to maintain the positive trend of MYOR's revenue.
MYOR still has the challenge of rising raw material prices. The average price of cocoa increased 135.6% YoY to US$7,980/ton in FY24. Meanwhile, the average price of coffee increased by 37.7% YoY to US$239/Lbs in FY24. This condition made MYOR's cost of goods sold increase by 20.46% YoY to IDR26.85 trillion in FY24, therefore making MYOR's Gross Profit Margin (GPM) decreased in FY24 to 25.57%. We assess that MYOR's future profitability recovery will depend on the price normalization of both raw materials.
MYOR booked a net profit growth of 227% QoQ to IDR1 trillion in 4Q24. The growth was in line with the increase in revenue by 10.8% QoQ to IDR10.43 trillion due to the launch of several new products and product selling price adjustments made since October 2024. Meanwhile, on an annualized basis, MYOR's net profit decreased by 5.46% YoY to IDR3.1 trillion in FY24 due to the higher raw material prices and higher interest expenses by 40.52% YoY to IDR425 billion in line with the issuance of IDR500 billion bonds.
MYOR is targeting revenue growth of 12-15% YoY in FY25, while GPM is targeted at 23-25%, assuming coffee and cocoa prices remain relatively stable until the end of 2025. In addition, MYOR has budgeted capital expenditures of IDR1 trillion in 2025, which are focused on driving expansion and increasing production capacity.
Using the Discounted Cash Flow method with a Required Return of 7.18% and Terminal Growth of 3.73%, we estimate MYOR's fair value at IDR2,850 per share. Therefore, we maintain our Buy rating on MYOR with a lower target and potential upside of 23.38%.
