TLK

Market cap $17.8B

I maintain my "Buy" rating on Telekomunikasi Indonesia, after analyzing its corporate disclosures at recent events. TLK is making tweaks to its wireless segment's products, which should have a positive impact on the company's 2H25 results. It is also seeking to focus more on its core operations and unlock the value of its infrastructure assets.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

I rate Telkom Indonesia a buy, with a DCF-based price target of $21.75, offering 39% upside from current levels. ARPU declines from recent price wars are likely short-term, with market growth and convergence trends set to drive a rebound. TLK's digital infrastructure, especially its leading tower network, positions it for accelerated growth as 5G demand rises.

I maintain a Buy rating for PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk after identifying favorable read-throughs from the latest corporate and industry developments. TLKM recently disclosed a new buyback plan, and it committed to a higher-than-expected distribution payout for this year. The company has also turned the corner with a quarter-on-quarter ARPU expansion in 4Q24; there are signs implying that this positive momentum will be sustained.

Shares of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (TLK, Financial) fell 3.13% in mid-day trading on Oct 2. The stock reached an intraday low of $19.19, before recovering slightly to $19.20, down from its previous close of $19.82.

I stick to a Buy rating for Telekomunikasi Indonesia, taking into consideration the improved competitive environment for its mobile business and the favorable growth prospects for its data center operations. TLK's mobile ARPU remained stable in Q2 2024 and its peers have began to raise prices, which indicates that pricing competition has become less intense in the Indonesian mobile market. TLK's data center revenue grew by 22% YoY in 1H 2024, and the growth outlook for this segment is positive considering the company's 2030 capacity growth target and its search for strategic investors.

Investors looking for stocks in the Diversified Communication Services sector might want to consider either PT Telekomunikasi (TLK) or Telus (TU). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
