Current Target Price for TLKM:

13 out of 15 looks TLKM as an undervalued stock. As of today, 27 July 2020 TLKM at 3,040 which means there’s about 20-40% discount from the target price above. It’s a good investment because TLKM really take an important role in the new society with Digital become the new-norm. Indonesia’s predicted to be able to provide the vaccine by 2Q21 with current rate of testing is still the lowest (2k test/1 million population) by far in South East Asia compared to Singapore and Malaysia (27k test/1 million population). Covid landscape in Indonesia is still increasing, with the new incentive from the government related to burden sharing. Hopefully Indonesia’s economy could still be a trusted place for foreign to invest their money. TLKM still sleeping, hasn’t shown drastic improvement, buy while it’s cheap. We think 2970-3060 is the cheapest we could get.
