difficult. BNI targets a minimum tier 1 ratio of at least 17%. It expects some relief as

Agrinas loans, representing 4% of total loans, still carry a 50% risk weight. The bank ivan-reynaldo.sutheja@ubs.com

also anticipates a lower payout policy over the medium to long term. Under the new +62-21-2554 7037

government export revenue repatriation policy, BNI reported 15-20% growth in DHE/FX

deposits, showing improved momentum versus 2025. For Gunbuster exposure,

equivalent to 3% of loans, BNI currently holds 6% coverage and plans to increase this to

10% following the company’s Chapter 11 filing, reflecting company-specific issues and

a weaker sector backdrop.

Valuation: We have a PT of Rp3,200 and a Sell rating

We value BNI using a Gordon growth model, assuming a 7% risk-free rate (unchanged),

5.75% equity risk premium (unchanged), cut-off valuation at March 2027 (unchanged),

12% sustainable ROE (unchanged), and 8% sustainable growth (unchanged). At our

price target, it would trade at 0.6x/5.5x 2027E PB/PE.
