OVERVIEWh2
PT Archi Indonesia Tbk (ARCI) adalah produsen emas nasional yang sedang mengalami transformasi dramatis dari perusahaan yang merugi menjadi growth story dengan profitabilitas tinggi. Berbeda dengan mayoritas emiten komoditas yang stagnan, ARCI menunjukkan pertumbuhan eksplosif dengan revenue naik 94,69% YoY dan gross profit melesat 213,33% YoY di Q3 2025. Perusahaan berhasil swing to profitability dengan laba bersih Rp 1,378 Triliun (TTM) dari kerugian tahun lalu.
Kinerja Gemilang Q3 2025:
- Net profit US 4 juta tahun lalu
- Revenue tumbuh 94,69% YoY didorong produksi emas naik 23% + harga emas tinggi
- Gross profit meledak 213,33% YoY (margin expansion signifikan)
- ROE mencapai 24,05% - exceptional untuk perusahaan komoditas

TAHAP 2: ANALISIS VALUASI - PREMIUM JUSTIFIED?h2
METODE A: PRICE-TO-EARNINGS RATIOh3
Current Situation:
Current Price: Rp 1.300
EPS TTM: Rp 55,49
Current PER: 23,52x (PREMIUM!)
Industry Benchmark:
- Indonesia gold mining average PER: 12-15x
- Global gold miners: 12-18x
- ARCI premium: 1,5-2x di atas peers
Fair Value Calculation (Conservative):
Using Gold Mining Average PER: 15x
Fair Value = Rp 55,49 × 15x = Rp 832
Current Price: Rp 1.300
Implied Overvaluation: -36%
NAMUN, ini ignores:
- Explosive growth (+95% revenue, +213% GP)
- Production scaling trajectory (93 koz → 213 koz by 2028)
- Swing to profitability (from chronic losses)
Adjusted Fair Value (Growth-Adjusted PER):
Using Growth Premium PER: 20-25x (justified for high-growth miners)
Fair Value Range: Rp 1.110 - Rp 1.387
Current Price Rp 1.300 = WITHIN RANGE
Verdict: PER 23,52x appears expensive vs static comps, tapi reasonable given explosive growth dan transformation story.
METODE B: PRICE-TO-BOOK VALUEh3
Current Metrics:
Current Price: Rp 1.300
Book Value Per Share: Rp 230,74
Current PBV: 5,66x
Industry Comparison:
- Gold mining typical PBV: 1,5-3,0x
- High-growth miners: 2,5-4,0x
- ARCI current: 5,66x = significant premium
Fair Value Calculation:
Using Gold Mining Average PBV: 2,5x
Fair Value = Rp 230,74 × 2,5x = Rp 577
Implied Downside: -55,6%
Problem: Traditional PBV tidak capture:
- Reserve value growth (new discoveries)
- Production capacity expansion
- Operational leverage dari high gold prices
Adjusted Fair Value (Growth PBV):
Using High-Growth Miner PBV: 4,0-5,0x
Fair Value Range: Rp 923 - Rp 1.154
Current Rp 1.300 = SLIGHTLY RICH
Verdict: PBV 5,66x mahal on traditional basis, acceptable untuk high-growth story tapi at upper limit.

TAHAP 3: ANALISIS FUNDAMENTAL & BUSINESS MODELh2
Business Model: Pure-Play Gold Miner dengan Diversifikasih3
Core Business: Gold Mining (95%+ revenue)
PT Archi Indonesia adalah pure-play gold producer dengan tambang di Sulawesi Utara, memproduksi emas berkualitas tinggi melalui:
- Pit Toka Tindung (producing)
- Pit Araren (high-grade, resumed operations Q2 2025) ← KEY CATALYST
- Pit Bakan & Others (supporting production)
Production Trajectory:
2023: 82 koz (low base, margin pressure)
2024: 93 koz (+13,4%)
2025F: 122 koz (+31,2%) ← BREAKTHROUGH YEAR
2026F: ~150 koz (analyst projection)
2028F: 213 koz (+74,6% from 2025) ← MANAGEMENT TARGET
Production CAGR 2024-2028: +18% p.a. (strong visibility)
Why Explosive Growth 2025?
Faktor 1: Araren Pit Resumed (High-Grade Ore)
- Grade emas lebih tinggi significantly vs pits lain
- Production cost per ounce turun
- Margin expansion dramatic (terbukti: GP +213% YoY)
Faktor 2: Operational Efficiency
- Capex 2024 untuk peremajaan alat berat mulai berdampak
- Hilirisasi (processing improvement) meningkatkan recovery rate
- Cost control ketat (beban pokok penjualan naik hanya 3% vs revenue naik 95%)
Faktor 3: Gold Price Tailwind
- Harga emas global all-time high (US$ 2.500-2.700/oz)
- ARCI benefiting dari operating leverage
- Setiap US$ 100/oz price increase = material margin boost
Faktor 4: New Reserve Discoveries
- Perusahaan menemukan cadangan emas baru
- Extends mine life beyond current projections
- De-risking long-term production profile
Diversifikasi: Geothermal Energy (Future Growth Pillar)h3
PT Toka Tindung Geothermal (TTG) - Joint venture dengan Ormat Geothermal Indonesia:
- Target: 40 MW Geothermal Power Plant di Sulawesi Utara
- Status: Designated as National Strategic Project (PSN)
- Financing: World Bank GREM program + PT SMI support
- Timeline: Development stage, production 2027-2028F
- Significance: Diversifies revenue away from pure commodity exposure
Long-term Vision: Green energy producer + gold mining (ESG-friendly commodity company).
Profitabilitas: Best-in-Class Marginsh3
Margin Structure (Q3 2025):
| Metric | ARCI | Gold Mining Avg | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Margin | 46,74% | 35-45% | ✓ EXCELLENT |
| Operating Margin | 46,46% | 30-40% | ✓ BEST-IN-CLASS |
| Net Margin | 26,15% | 15-25% | ✓ SUPERIOR |
| EBITDA Margin | 47,6% | 35-45% | ✓ EXCEPTIONAL |
ROE 24,05% is exceptional for commodity company (typical 10-15%).
Margin Expansion Story:
2024: Gross Margin ~30-35% (estimated)
2025: Gross Margin 46,74% (+10-15 ppt expansion!)
Driver: High-grade Araren ore + gold price leverage
This is genuine margin improvement, not accounting trick.
Cash Flow: Positive but Liquidity Concernh3
Operating Cash Flow (TTM):
- OCF: Rp 1.904 Miliar ✓ Strong
- Capex: Rp 1.497 Miliar (heavy for expansion)
- FCF: Rp 407 Miliar ✓ Positive (sustainable)
Working Capital Dynamics:
- Working Capital: Rp 1.920 Miliar (positive)
- Current Ratio: 0,53x ⚠️ CONCERN!
- Quick Ratio: 0,23x ⚠️ VERY LOW
What’s Happening?
- Heavy capex for Araren + underground development
- Inventory buildup (gold in process)
- Short-term debt refinancing (ST debt Rp 1.886 Miliar)
Is This Dangerous?
- NOT immediate distress (OCF strong, can service debt)
- BUT requires monitoring (liquidity buffer thin)
- Management action needed: Either refinance ST debt to LT or improve working capital
Cash Position: Rp 391 Miliar (vs ST debt Rp 1.886 Miliar = coverage 0,21x)
Interest Coverage: 4,80x = dapat bayar bunga tapi tidak comfortable (prefer >5x).
Leverage & Solvencyh3
Debt Structure:
- Total Debt: Rp 6.809 Miliar
- Long-term Debt: Rp 4.923 Miliar
- Short-term Debt: Rp 1.886 Miliar
Debt Ratios:
- Debt-to-Equity: 1,19x (elevated for mining, prefer < 1,0x)
- Debt-to-Assets: 0,43x (manageable)
- Net Debt: Rp 6.418 Miliar (vs EBITDA Rp 1.586T = 4,0x) ⚠️
Altman Z-Score: 1,75 (grey zone, not safe but not distressed)
Verdict: Leverage acceptable given growth capex tapi tidak ada buffer besar. Requires successful execution untuk deleverage via earnings growth.
TAHAP 4: ANALISIS RISIKO & CATALYSTSh2
RISK ANALYSIS - 5 RISIKO UTAMAh3
1. Liquidity Risk (HIGH - SHORT TERM)
- Current Ratio 0,53x sangat rendah
- ST debt Rp 1.886 Miliar vs cash Rp 391 Miliar
- Implication: Perlu refinancing atau asset liquidation jika OCF miss
- Monitoring: Quarterly cash position + debt maturity schedule
- Mitigation: Management dapat refinance to long-term, atau sell non-core assets
2. Commodity Price Risk (MEDIUM-HIGH)
- Gold price volatility (currently US$ 2.500-2.700/oz)
- Jika gold crash ke US$ 1.800-2.000/oz → margin compression severe
- Implication: Revenue dan profitability highly sensitive
- Monitoring: Track gold futures + macro (USD strength, real rates)
- Mitigation: Hedging (tidak disclosed apakah ARCI hedge), diversification to geothermal
3. Production Execution Risk (MEDIUM)
- Target 122 koz 2025 (sudah 90 koz di 9M, need 32 koz Q4 = achievable)
- 2026-2028 targets require sustained Araren performance
- Implication: If production misses → valuation de-rate
- Monitoring: Quarterly production reports
- Mitigation: Track record Q1-Q3 2025 strong (+23% YoY)
4. Debt Refinancing Risk (MEDIUM)
- Need to refinance ST debt maturing
- Interest rate environment (BI rate currently 6,00%)
- Implication: Higher interest expense erodes margin
- Monitoring: Debt maturity schedule + BI rate trajectory
- Mitigation: Strong OCF can service debt; refinancing likely successful given lender confidence in gold assets
5. Regulatory & ESG Risk (LOW-MEDIUM)
- Mining permits & environmental compliance
- Community relations di Sulawesi Utara
- Implication: Operational disruption possible
- Monitoring: News on permits + community issues
- Mitigation: Geothermal project signals ESG commitment
CATALYSTS UNTUK RE-RATINGh3
Near-term Catalysts (Q4 2025 - Q1 2026):
- ✅ Q4 2025 Results (Jan 2026) - confirmation of 122 koz production target
- ✅ Full-year 2025 Earnings - expect 10x profit growth vs 2024
- ✅ 2026 Guidance - production target 150 koz? Revenue guidance?
Medium-term Catalysts (2026): 4. ✅ Araren Underground Development - additional high-grade reserves 5. ✅ Geothermal Progress - financing closure + construction start 6. ✅ Debt Refinancing - if successful, de-risks liquidity concern
Long-term Catalysts (2027-2028): 7. ✅ 213 koz Production achievement (2028 target) 8. ✅ Geothermal Revenue start (40 MW online) 9. ✅ Dividend Initiation (if cash generation strong + debt manageable)
TAHAP 5: REKOMENDASI INVESTASIh2
RATING: HOLD / ACCUMULATE ON DIPSh3
Thesis Complexity: ARCI bukan simple BUY atau SELL - ini adalah high-reward, medium-risk growth story dengan execution dependency.
Why HOLD (not BUY) at Rp 1.300?
- Valuasi already pricing in much of the growth (PER 23,52x)
- Liquidity risk (CR 0,53x) belum resolved
- Gold price at all-time high (downside risk jika correction)
- Better entry point likely at Rp 1.100-1.200 (15-20% pullback)
Why NOT SELL?
- Execution track record strong (production on-track, margin expanding)
- Analyst support (targets Rp 1.635-1.800)
- Structural growth intact (122 koz → 213 koz by 2028)
- Gold price environment supportive
TARGET PRICES & ACTION PLANh3
| Strategy | Action | Price Level | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACCUMULATE | Buy | Rp 1.100-1.200 | 15-20% dip from current, attractive entry |
| HOLD | Monitor | Rp 1.250-1.350 | Fair value range, wait for catalysts |
| REDUCE | Trim 30-50% | Rp 1.650-1.700 | Approaching analyst high target, take profit |
| SELL | Exit | Rp 1.800+ | Overbought, exceed bull case |
Stop Loss: Rp 1.000 (hard stop if production miss or gold crash)

Final Verdicth3
ARCI adalah legitimate growth story dalam industri emas Indonesia. Transformation dari loss-making ke high-profitability company genuine dan impressive. Production scaling trajectory credible given track record.
Valuation Rp 1.300 FAIR dengan upside 8-38% ke target Rp 1.400-1.800 dalam 12-24 bulan, TAPI:
- Entry point not optimal (prefer Rp 1.100-1.200 on dips)
- Liquidity risk perlu monitoring ketat (CR 0,53x concerning)
- Gold price exposure creates volatility (not for faint-hearted)
Rekomendasi Praktis:
- Jika belum own: Wait for pullback ke Rp 1.100-1.200, then ACCUMULATE
- Jika sudah own di < Rp 1.200: HOLD, target Rp 1.600-1.800
- Jika beli di > Rp 1.400: Consider REDUCING on strength ke Rp 1.650+
Bottom Line: Good company, strong execution, tapi harga current sudah pricing in banyak good news. Patient investors dapat menunggu entry lebih baik.
