STOCKS NEWS INDONESIA-UBS cuts Bumi Resources target price Oct 25th 2012, 06:07 Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:07am EDT UBS Investment Research slashed its target price on shares of Asia's biggest thermal coal exporter PT Bumi Resources Tbk to 600 rupiah from 800 rupiah and kept its 'sell' rating on lower-than-expected selling price of coal. Shares of Bumi Resources were down 1.45 percent at 680 rupiah, while the broader index was up 0.01 percent. "Management now guides for an average 2012 selling price of US$83-87/t from US$85-90/t previously. The new guidance is 1-5 percent below our current US$88/t estimate, and thus we downgrade our earnings forecasts accordingly," UBS analyst Andreas Bokkenheuser wrote in a note on Thursday. The research house also said Bakrie Group's proposed offer to buy back stakes in Bumi Resources and Berau Coal from parent company Bumi Plc, is not in the best interest of minority shareholders, as it would fail to unlock PT Bumi's significant intrinsic value. "The deal would effectively eliminate the diversified shareholder control originally intended to create shareholder value by, among others, reducing debt," UBS said. 1240 (0540 GMT) (Reporting by Andjarsari Paramaditha; Editing by Anand Basu) **************************************************************** 12:29 STOCKS NEWS INDONESIA-Bank Jabar rises on profit jump Shares in Indonesia's biggest provincial lender PT Bank Jabar jumped as much as 4.5 percent on Thursday after it reported nine-month earnings. Net profit rose 18.96 percent to 945.38 billion rupiah ($98.37 million) in January-September over the same period last year, the bank said in a statement to the stock exchange. In June, Bank Jabar said it would buy a majority stake in 51 rural banks this year in a bid to tap the huge potential of small and micro businesses. UBS raised the bank's target price to 1,525 rupiah per share from 1,450 rupiah. At 12.25 pm (0525 GMT), the stock was up 0.9 percent at 1,120 rupiah with 44.9 million shares traded, while the broader Jakarta Composite Index was up 0.01 percent. 1227 (0527 GMT) ($1 = 9,610 rupiah) (Reporting by Andjarsari Paramaditha,; Editing by Sunil Nair) **************************************************************** 10:52 25Oct12 -STOCKS NEWS INDONESIA-Macquarie cuts Indomobil target price Macquarie Equity Research has cut its target price on PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional Tbk to 7,000 rupiah from 8,000 and trimmed its full-year earnings forecast by 13-20 percent due to lower market share of Japanese car brand Nissan in Indonesia and falling demand for heavy trucks and engines from the mining sector. "While we are disappointed by the extent of our downgrades, we believe our current estimates are now quite conservative, and yet still imply attractive multiples given IMAS's long term growth outlook," analyst Lyall Taylor said in a note on Thursday. The research house, however, kept its 'outperform' rating on the car maker's stock, saying it has moved into oversold territory. While average sales of the Evalia model at 2,000 units per month have been below expectations, and Nissan's overall market share in September was relatively weak at 5.7 percent, the new model still made a solid contribution to Nissan's nine-month sales at 38.8 percent year on year. Shares of the auto producer were down 0.93 percent at 5,350 rupiah while the broader index was up 0.16 percent. 1018 (0318 GMT) (Reporting by Andjarsari Paramaditha in Jakarta; Editing by Sunil Nair) *************************************************************** 10:02 STOCKS NEWS INDONESIA-Exploitasi Energi surges on stake sale Shares in PT Exploitasi Energi Indonesia Tbk jumped as much as 10.45 percent on Thursday after the coal miner said it will sell at least $50 million worth of stake. China's Huadian Power International Corporation Ltd will buy at least $50 million worth of stake in Exploitasi, CEO Henry Sitanggang said. Exploitasi also planned to raise 2.7 trillion rupiah ($281 million) from a rights issue, with 5.4 billion new shares priced at 500 rupiah each. The stock was up 8.96 percent at 365 rupiah with highest volume of 57.5 million shares traded, while the broader Jakarta Composite Index was up 0.09 percent. 0958 (0258 GMT) Link this Share this Digg this Email Reprints
