BCAS: DEWA IJ - 2Q26 – Operational Recovery on Track, but Bottom Line Still One-Off Driven; Below Ours
- In 2Q26, DEWA delivered revenue of IDR 1.66 tn (+6.9% QoQ; +8.7% YoY), reflecting stronger mining activity and improved execution. This brought 6M26 revenue to IDR 3.21 tn (+3.1% YoY), broadly in line with our estimate (48.0%) but below consensus (43.7%). 
- Operationally, gross profit improved to IDR 343 bn (+27.8% QoQ; +49.5% YoY), implying gross margin expansion to 20.7% (+3.4ppt QoQ; +5.7ppt YoY), while EBIT reached IDR 217 bn (+12.4% QoQ; +33.0% YoY). EBITDA also increased to IDR 490 bn (+11.7% QoQ; +15.9% YoY), reflecting stronger operating performance on the back of a higher in-house contribution, which reached 92% of total material moved (vs 74% in 1Q26). However, higher opex of IDR 127 bn (+66.7% QoQ; +89.7% YoY) partially offset the improvement. 6M26 EBIT reached IDR 410 bn (+17.6% YoY), equivalent to 26.3% of our estimate and 46.8% of consensus, while EBITDA reached IDR 929 bn (+15.4% YoY), equivalent to 36.4% and 46.4%, respectively. 
- At the bottom line, net profit stood at IDR 262 bn (+182.1% QoQ; +163.9% YoY), supported by IDR 229 bn of gain from fair value adjustment, despite higher net interest expense of IDR 136 bn. This brought 6M26 net profit to IDR 354 bn (+110.9% YoY), reaching 38.7% of our estimate and 68.9% of consensus. Excluding the one-off gain, core profit declined to IDR 22 bn in 2Q26 (–78.4% QoQ; 78.9% YoY), indicating that improving operating profitability has yet to translate into sustainable bottom-line earnings.
