Thesis Summary

Telkom's first-half 2026 operating indicators show a constructive mobile recovery and tangible progress in infrastructure monetization: mobile ARPU rose 9.0% year over year, digital-data revenue rose 11.0%, and InfraNexia's external-customer revenue grew 31%. The completed second-stage InfraCo transfer also created a focused wholesale platform controlling more than 90% of Telkom's former network infrastructure assets. Offsetting these positives, fixed-broadband subscribers declined to 9.5 million from 10.1 million, price competition remained active, and substantial portfolio restructuring and strategic-holding execution remain underway. A neutral Hold is therefore appropriate pending evidence that mobile monetization persists, fixed broadband stabilizes and InfraNexia converts its enlarged asset base into durable external growth.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$18.3520%

Mobile ARPU falls back below the first-half 2026 level, fixed-broadband subscribers decline further, and the InfraCo and strategic-holding transition does not deliver sustained external growth or operating benefits. Ongoing portfolio restructuring then creates complexity without sufficient offsetting monetization.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$18.3555%
Matches the consensus mean

Mobile monetization remains broadly resilient and InfraNexia continues gaining external customers, but fixed-broadband competition and the complexity of group restructuring limit the pace of improvement.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$18.3525%

Mobile pricing discipline and customer-value management sustain ARPU and digital-data growth, fixed-mobile convergence improves retention, and InfraNexia accelerates third-party monetization of its approximately 112,000-kilometer fiber footprint. Successful expansion of integrated connectivity, cloud, data-center, cybersecurity and AI offerings provides an additional B2B growth channel.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits
  • Mobile monetization improved in the first half of 2026: mobile ARPU reached IDR45,600, up 9.0% year over year, while digital-data revenue grew 11.0%.
  • InfraNexia's external-customer revenue grew 31% year over year to IDR939 billion, providing early evidence that the neutral wholesale model can attract demand outside TelkomGroup.
  • The completed second-stage InfraCo transfer gave InfraNexia more than 90% of Telkom's former network-infrastructure assets, including approximately 112,000 kilometers of fiber and 26,000 kilometers of domestic submarine cable.

Key Investment Risks
  • Fixed-broadband subscribers declined to 9.5 million from 10.1 million a year earlier, while Telkom explicitly identified continuing market price competition.
  • The investment case depends on executing a broad transformation involving streamlining, a strategic-holding operating model, infrastructure separation and centralized data-center management.
  • B2B ICT remained affected by portfolio restructuring and streamlining, while the international portfolio was still shifting away from traditional voice hubbing toward higher-margin connectivity and digital solutions.
