Hence, we keep our earnings estimates. Maintain BUY with an unchanged DCF-TP of MYR21.00 (WACC: 8%, LT growth: 3%) with decent FY24E yield of 4.7%.

Astra International Slow EV adoption easing volume concerns
■ Slow EV adoption and solid hybrid sales in Indonesia should help Astra International (ASII) maintain its dominance in the auto segment, in our view. ■ We think weak auto sales volume due to lack of new models and weak purchasing power could hurt ASII’s revenue, net profit growth in FY24-25F. ■ We cut FY24F/25F EPS by 9%/5% to reflect lower auto volume and margin assumptions. Reiterate Add with a lower SOP-based TP of Rp5,500.
