on global oil prices, we test AVIA's earnings sensitivity against UBS's Global Oil team's 12/27E 35 32 -9 32

deceleration of -2% and expect margins to recover from 2027E, while even at elevated

levels (~US$100/bbl), earnings downside is contained at -10%, with only a more Bernice Chew

Government initiatives and capital flexibility could provide mid-term upside Analyst

Beyond cyclical factors, we believe AVIA offers underappreciated medium-term growth +65-6495 3137

optionality. Indirect exposure to government initiatives such as the 3 million Housing

Program could drive ~1ppt volume growth, with 6–8% potential upside as execution

scales, while rural programs (Kopdes) could support further penetration. Coupled with a

strong balance sheet (Rp1.7trn cash on hand and 0.16x net D/E) and robust FCF

generation (Rp1.3-1.8trn over 2026-28E), we believe AVIA has clear capacity for bolt-on

M&A in adjacencies such as adhesives and construction chemicals.

Valuation: DCF-based price target of Rp500 (from Rp840); resume at Buy

Trading at 13x forward PE (c.20% discount to global peers despite higher growth and

returns), we see compelling value with clear catalysts for a potential re-rating.
