TLKM: Infrastructure Spinoff Execution Risks Will Likely Limit Future Upside Potential

Analysts have raised their fair value estimate for Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia from IDR 2,900 to about IDR 3,107, citing improving long term revenue growth and profit margin assumptions, as well as the potential capital unlock from ongoing infrastructure spinoff and streamlining initiatives.

TOWR: Higher Required Returns Will Still Support A Bullish Outlook
