Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI.JK)

Bank Rakyat Indonesia


Still the highest ROE. While recent strong profit growth is a function of declining provisioning expense, BRI still offers the highest returns to shareholders. Competition in micro lending might start kicking in but, being a market leader in this high-yield lending gives BRI the advantage of knowing the nature of the business better than the other big banks.

Still very strong margins. Going forward, we believe BRI will be able to maintain above-industry NIMs to support ROE. Another positive on the bank is improvements in efficiency, which is reflected in declining CIR.

We recommend a BUY on Bank Rakyat Indonesia with TP at IDR8,500 (12.6x 2012F PER; 3.3x 2012F PBV).
