Bank Negara (BBNI IJ) Indonesia
Financials
Galliano's Financials Research
BBNI is Victor Galliano’s top pick among the Indonesian banks, based on its compelling value and growth credentials. It has the lowest PEG ratio of the big four, undemanding prospective PE multiples and the best PBV ratio to ROE combination. Return trends continue to improve; pre-provision returns have risen after bottoming out in 3Q23, which combine with declining cost of risk to drive better post-provision returns. In addition, the bank’s efficiency ratios have begun to improve. With its CET1 ratio of 19%, BBNI has bridged the gap with Mandiri on capital adequacy and on credit quality it also has the second highest NPL coverage of its peer group, after Permata.

Bank Negara Indonesia (BBNI IJ) Indonesia
Financials
Indonesia is seeing a strong recovery in lending growth, which adds to the positive trifecta for BNI - improving margins (NIM up from 4.5% to 4.9% in 2Q22 Q/Q. There are few banks in Asia-Pacific that show this type of NIM expansion), with improving loan volume, and better credit metrics (BNI is one of those banks that appears to have taken far too much credit costs during FY20 and FY21). It just so happens, that BNI’s market capitalisation of IDR154tr is a fraction of the IDR970tr for comparable peer bank Bank Central Asia.
