Foreword
Dear valued investors,
We are delighted to present the 14th edition of the RHB Indonesia Small Cap Jewels Book. This year is a milestone – it
marks the 20th anniversary of the maiden launch of our series of annual small-cap books in Malaysia. Since then, our
esteemed publication has become a hallmark of RHB Research's commitment to identifying promising opportunities in the
small-cap space. In this 2024 edition, we showcase 20 companies with market capitalisations under USD500m,
representing a diverse array of sectors – from snack products to digital banking and from renewable energy to taxi services,
these companies offer a broad spectrum of investment potential. Around 50% of our stock picks in this edition are
companies that have not been featured in previous editions. Our picks stem from both a top-down and a bottom-up
methodology.
Our largest industry classification comes from oil- and mining-related counters, which comprise 20% of our stock picks. This
is supported by our recent lifting of 2024 and 2025 average Brent oil price estimates, given the higher geopolitical risks.
The coal sector may also benefit from further weather abnormalities – early signs of a heatwave have been reported in
many Asian countries, which may trigger a hike in demand for electricity to cool down homes, offices, and other types of
properties affected by such heat. We continue to like the renewable energy (RE) sector, comprising 10% of our stock picks,
which may become beneficiaries of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka winning the recent general election.
The new president, who begins his duties in Oct 2024, has promised to ensure environmental conservation and is
committed to pursuing net-zero emissions goals by reducing the country’s carbon footprint. We see this possibly helping
the RE sector to navigate its prospects, as RE would serve as an alternative energy source to reduce emissions. We
anticipate the small-cap companies we have identified evolving into mid-cap stalwarts in future. Our selection of small-cap
stocks is poised for growth that exceed industry norms, driven by diverse catalysts. This Indonesia edition forms a segment
of the broader regional small-cap compendium that also features other standout ideas from the other ASEAN markets that
we cover.
We extend our gratitude to the dedicated management teams of the companies featured in this book for giving us their
time to share insights and helping us to understand their business models and growth potential. Additionally, we commend
our research analysts for their tireless dedication in meticulously evaluating and selecting top-notch stock ideas. These
selections not only provide solid growth prospects, but also present re-rating opportunities.
Testing our thesis, our selection of Top 20 Indonesia Small Cap Jewels for 2023 delivered a return of +11.4% based on
weighted average returns. This performance outpaced the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) by 5.7%, as the JCI yielded a
return of +5.6% during the same period. Furthermore, our selections demonstrated remarkable strength against the IDX
Small Mid Cap Liquid (IDXSMCL) Index, outperforming it by 17.5%, as the latter registered a return of -6.1%. This
achievement underscores the effectiveness of our rigorous selection process and potential for significant returns within the
small-cap segment.
Lastly, as the research division of RHB, our dedication lies in continually enhancing and fortifying our small cap franchises.
Through these endeavours, we aim to deliver insightful research products that offer substantial value to our esteemed
clients. With the release of this milestone 14th edition (for Indonesia), we are confident that our commitment to small-cap
research here will be underscored, solidifying our position in the market. This tradition of identifying and highlighting
shining jewels within these segments remain at the core of our mission, and we are eager to uphold this legacy as we move
forward. We hope the 2024 Top 20 Indonesia small-cap picks may project better performances ahead, and we hope you
keep healthy and safe!

16 years of working experience in the automotive industry. Meanwhile,
ASLC's Director, Deborah Debyanti Sugiarto, has over 20 years of
extensive experience in finance, and has held managerial positions in
several leading companies.
Investment Case
Valuation. Based on its annualised 1Q24 earnings, ASLC should book
IDR68bn in net profit in 2024 (+209% YoY), implying 0.08x 2024 PEG – ie
more attractive than its peer, Astra International (ASII IJ), which is
expected to record negative earnings growth this year. Our FV for ASLC
is pegged to a conservative 0.15x PEG.
Key risks: i) An increase in interest rates, which may increase financing
costs and decelerate vehicle sales growth; and ii) increased industry
competition, as many companies, including Carsome, Carmudi, OLX
Autos, and Mobile88, have entered the vehicle platform business.

FY23, DOID’s operations increased (OB: 621m bcm, +14% YoY) – higher

Business expansion to buoy outlook. DOID has acquired c.90% of Mining

previously owned by Australian contract miner EDI Mining, has won a
contract (valid until Jun 2026) from Blackwater Operations to provide
pre-strip mining services for a metallurgical coal mine, and this would
generate an additional OB of 36m bcm per year. This diversification into
metallurgical coal would also enable DOID to reduce its dependence on

Valuation. Management mentioned that its FY24 numbers could be
impacted by the normalisation of benchmark coal prices – this would Source: Company data, RHB
directly affect the contracting fees paid by its clients. As such, DOID
expects FY24 topline to be at USD1.7bn (-7% YoY). Nonetheless, the risks
associated with fluctuating coal prices should be partly mitigated by the
company’s stable operations. Note that DOID regularly beats its annual
targets (for coal production and OB removal), which are usually
announced early each year. Using a conservative assumption on net profit
margins (estimated at c.2%), DOID’s FY24F EPS may decline to IDR65
(-10% YoY, with a USD/IDR rate of 15,800). We use 10x P/E (currently
trading at c.7.8x P/E) to value this stock – which is still at discount to the
average of its closest domestic peers, which is above c.15x P/E. Our FV
for DOID is IDR650, and we believe that it makes for an attractive short-
term play.
Key risks. Further weakening of benchmark coal prices, increase in
geopolitical tensions, coal demand decelerating as a result of slower
economic growth.

FV of IDR270. Several catalysts should boost oil prices to average at
USD85-88 per bbl in 2024. Therefore, we believe ENRG should benefit
from this environment this year. Meanwhile, its additional oil revenue
stream from two newly-acquired blocks could boost earnings by 11.5%
YoY in 2024F – this translates to an EPS of IDR48, and FY24F P/E of 4.6x,
vs Medco Energi Internasional’s (MEDC IJ) P/E of 6.2x. Our FV of IDR270
reflects 5.5x P/E, which is at a ~10% discount from MEDC’s valuation.
Key risks: i) Lower-than-expected oil prices, ii) lower-than-expected
hydrocarbon output, iii) longer-than-expected monetisation of newly-

Investment Case
VICI has guided for 12-15% YoY revenue growth this year, mainly from
volume growth. It last increased prices in Dec 2023 and plans to maintain
them as such for the time being. Its performance remains solid YTD – and
it remains on track to achieving targets set.
Margins should improve, given the better product mix and more targeted
marketing strategies. VICI aims to maintain its net margin level in 2024
(2023: 13.1%). The stock is trading at c.21x P/E. We think VICI should be
trading at c.25x 2024F P/E – at a 30% premium vs Unilever Indonesia

Undervalued. The stock is trading at 4.95x FY23 P/E, which is at a 65%
