US GDP Accelerated to 4.3% in 3Q25 
US GDP expanded at an annualized 4.3% in 3Q25 (vs 2Q25; 3.8%), the fastest pace in two years and above consensus of 3.3%, driven by stronger consumer spending, export rebound, and recovery in govt. spending. Household consumption rose 3.5% (vs 2.5%), supported by both goods (+3.1%) and services (+3.7%), particularly healthcare, international travel, IT equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Exports rebounded sharply (+8.8% vs –1.8%), imports declined further (–4.7%), govt. spending recovered (+2.2% vs –0.1%), and the drag from private inventories narrowed significantly, collectively lifting headline growth momentum.

BCAS : ACES IJ– Nov-25 SSSG Improved on Year-End Demand Despite Ex-Java Disruption
- ACES recorded Nov-25 SSSG of –5.2%, improving from –5.9% in Oct-25 (vs +6.0% in Nov-24) , supported by year-end seasonal demand and a gradual recovery in spending across Jakarta and Java (ex-Jakarta).

- Nov-25 gross sales reached IDR 724bn (+6.3% MoM; +0.6% YoY) , lifting 11M25 cumulative sales to IDR 7.8tn (+2.5% YoY). The MoM improvement was primarily driven by travel-related and seasonal categories. 
- Store expansion remains on track , as of 11M25, the co. has opened 19 AZKO stores, on track to meet its 25 store FY25 guidance, alongside continued rollout of the NEKA format with 8 stores in Greater Jakarta. We view this measured expansion into underpenetrated areas as supportive of medium-term revenue growth, while near-term performance remains exposed to macro and gradual improvement in purchasing power.
