Global Market Highlights
The DJIA strengthened by +0.09% on Monday (08/08), while S&P 500 (-0.12%) and Nasdaq (-0.10%). Wall Street closed mixed. Investors tended to wait and see ahead of the release of the Jul-22 inflation data. In addition, negative sentiments came from rising geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan, where the Chinese military will again hold military exercises in a new area close to Taiwan. Meanwhile, the decline in the yield of US T-notes 10Y to the level of 2.75% became a positive catalyst that boosted the performance of the Dow Jones. Today, the market will be looking toward several data releases such as: 1) US Redbook YoY; 2) US IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism; 3) US Consumer Inflation Expectations.
Domestic Update
• Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) was reported at 123.2 on Jul-22, lower than the previous month at 128.2. MNCS Comment: Consumers remain optimistic despite the decline in the Current Economic Condition Index (IKE) and the Economic Condition Expectation Index (IEK). This is in line with the increasing risk of a global economic slowdown and rising domestic inflationary pressures.
• Furthermore, the national Covid-19 daily rate had increased by 4,425 active cases (08/08).
Company News
1. RALS IJ targeted a +20% YoY sales growth in FY22E, supported by the addition of 2 new outlets (Kontan). MNCS Comment: The revenue has the potential to grow to IDR3.11 trillion in FY22E, but has not been able to match the pre-pandemic level in FY19, where the company booked a revenue of IDR5.60 trillion. One of the factors came from the number of outlets, where in FY19 the number of Ramayana outlets reached 112, while in 1H22 the number of outlets was only 101 units.

MNCS Comment: The increase in revenue was supported by growth in all MAPI business segments, where the retail sales segment which contributed 75.90% grew +37.26% YoY. Net profit growth was in line with Burger King Indonesia's divestment. However, without including the divestment, MAPI's net profit continued to grow +175.45% YoY.
