ANTM: Advances Amid Challenges: Profit from Gold, Efficiency from Capital Structure
12 Nov 2024
ANTM's revenue grew 39.7% YoY to IDR 43.2 trillion in 9M24, driven by gold sales, but profitability dropped as COGS rose sharply, leading to a decline in gross margin, EBIT, and net income.
Commodity price fluctuations positively impact ANTM's revenue, particularly for gold and nickel, with gold prices rising 26.3% YTD to IDR1,539,000 per gram and nickel prices improving to USD15,706 per ton, contributing to a 39.7% YoY revenue growth in 9M24
ANTM reduced its debt-to-equity ratio from 28.2% in 2021 to 5.4% in Q3 2024, while also cutting interest expenses, reflecting a more efficient and conservative debt management strategy.
ANTM’s revenue is projected to reach IDR51.8 trillion in FY24, driven by strong gold and nickel demand, with nickel benefiting from increased use in electric vehicle batteries, while concerns over a U.S. recession from a slowing labor market and high debt-to-GDP may push investors toward gold, boosting ANTM’s performance.
Using the Discounted Cash Flow method, we estimate ANTM’s fair value at IDR 1,750 (14.12x expected P/E for FY24F). Considering ANTM’s fair value, we assign a buy rating with a potential upside of approximately 13.3% .
