Bareksa.com - Buana Capital reiterates sell recommendation on PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk (JPFA) with target price of Rp1.043, implying 9.1x PER 2015. The stock currently trades at 10.1x PER 2015. The background for these recomendation is depreciating IDR which causes an increase in operating costs and interest costs.
Depreciating IDR negates the benefit from lower raw materials prices.
Global soybean and corn prices fell to their lowest level in three months. As of June 2014, soybean price reached $14.82/bushel (-0.7% MoM, - 5.2% YoY), and corn prices reached $4.62/bushel (-0.6% MoM, -32% YoY). However, IDR depreciated further, and translated imported soybean price to Rp4,798 (+0.5% MoM, +13% YoY), and imported corn price came up to Rp2,735/kg (+2% MoM, -17% YoY).

USD denominated debt to stay.
Management talked about extending the maturity on most of JPFA USD denominated debts. We estimate USD debts will stay the same at ~35% of total debt through 2015. As IDR depreciated by 21% YtD to Rp11,979 on June 19, 2014, we see forex risk as a negative catalyst to profitability. Each Rp100 of IDR weakness translates to Rp17,3bn of loss on foreign exposure.

Further DOC supply cut.
On 16 June’14, the government has cut DOC supply by another 7.5%, amounting to 22.5% in total. This is expected to stabilize DOC price after Ramadhan period. We forecast FY14F DOC ASP will reach Rp4,206 (-3.5% YoY) on the back of weaker 1Q prices.
