Chemstar Indonesia Tbk PT

Chemstar Indonesia Tbk maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.33, below the median for the Specialty Chemicals industry, and a current ratio of 2.1, indicating sufficient short-term liquidity to cover obligations. The company’s liquidity risk is rated as medium, with negative net cash after subtracting total debt, suggesting potential pressure on working capital management. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 1.6% and return on assets (ROA) of 0.94%, both below the industry median for Specialty Chemicals, indicating underperformance in asset utilization and equity returns. Gross profit of IDR 39.4 billion and operating income of IDR 4.08 billion reflect a narrow margin profile, with operating cash flow negative at IDR -2.63 billion, signaling potential inefficiencies in cash generation. The company’s revenue is concentrated in the textile chemicals segment, with no disclosed geographic diversification beyond Indonesia. This lack of segment or geographic diversification increases exposure to regional demand fluctuations and regulatory shifts in the textile industry. Growth trajectory is constrained, with no disclosed revenue growth in the latest period and a forward-looking outlook that does not specify near-term expansion. Capital expenditure of IDR -1.75 billion suggests a reduction in investment, which may limit future capacity or innovation. Risk factors include liquidity constraints and a high price-to-earnings ratio of 83.12, which may deter investors seeking near-term returns. Dilution risk is rated as low, with no near-term pressure from share issuance or convertible debt. Recent filings and transcripts do not disclose material events or strategic shifts, suggesting operational stability but limited visibility into future initiatives.
