Telkom (TLKM.IJ, BUY) - TP Rp8,450

Building for future growth

Telkom’s FY11 result shows that the increased marketing spend generated only lukewarm revenue growth. To compensate for slower growth, Telkom is continuing its cost-cutting efforts. Realising that it cannot rely on the legacy telecommunication business, Telkom has actively pursued the Internet, Media and Edutainment businesses (IME) for the past 2-3 years. Telkom has ample cash and strongest balance sheet with the lowest net gearing among the big telecom operators. Currently the IME business only makes up 6% of total revenue; the company expects this proportion to increase to 13-15% by 2014-15. At 12.5x 2012F PER, Telkom’s valuation still warrants a BUY. TP is Rp8,450 (pegging the stock at 14.0x 2012F PER, 4.2x 2012F EV/EBITDA).
