Fundamental View
AS OF 07 May 2024PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (MIND ID) is fully owned by the Government of Indonesia (GoI); we believe its state linkages and strategic importance to the GoI will strengthen as the nation continues to pursue the development of its downstream commodities sector and support green transition.
We expect MIND ID’s credit metrics to improve meaningfully over the next 2 years even amid high capex, aided by strong anticipated commodity prices and sales volumes, healthy dividend income from key joint venture PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI), phased stake acquisitions of PT Vale Indonesia that we see as net credit positive, and a potential IPO of its aluminium business in end-FY24/FY25 that should free up cash.
MIND ID’s large, diversified scale of operations helps limit commodity-specific risks.

CreditSight View Comment
AS OF 07 May 2024We maintain our Outperform recommendation on MIND ID. MIND ID trades notably wider than Pertamina and PLN, which we view as unjustified considering Indonesia’s EV push (which will strengthen MIND ID’s policy role), stabilized regulatory uncertainties, our expectations of strong commodity prices and downstream demand, and healthy persisting dividend income from PTFI. An IPO of the aluminium business Inalum in end-FY24/FY25 is also credit positive. We anticipate MIND ID’s credit metrics to improve steadily to hit 2.8x-3.0x net leverage by FY25. Thus, we see scope for MIND ID’s bonds to compress further by 15-20 bp.
