Indofood CBP stock (ISIN ID1000116700) was trading at IDR 6,775 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, down 0.37 percent from the prior close. The company enters the next reporting phase with strong sales growth but a sharper earnings drag from currency losses, as reported by Kontan on October 4, 2026.

Sales growth meets currency pressure

In the first half of 2026, revenue increased 11.32 percent year over year to IDR 41.86 trillion, according to Kontan. That comparison is important because operating demand and reported earnings moved in opposite directions during the same period.

Net income fell 33.09 percent year over year to IDR 3.7 trillion, while the financing-related foreign-exchange loss rose to IDR 2.95 trillion from IDR 227.29 billion a year earlier. The result makes currency exposure a more immediate earnings issue than the underlying sales trend.

Analysts cut targets on margin risk

Input costs are now the central market question. Kontan reported on October 6, 2026, that Indo Premier Sekuritas maintained its Buy recommendation but reduced its target price to IDR 10,800 as raw-material costs pressured gross margin. The research placed the 2026 EBIT margin guidance at 20 percent to 22 percent, compared with 21.8 percent in the first half.

A separate assessment from MNC Sekuritas kept a Hold rating and a target price of IDR 7,500, according to Kontan. Its 2026 revenue forecast rose to IDR 80.1 trillion from IDR 78.5 trillion, while its net-income forecast fell to IDR 8.3 trillion from IDR 9.5 trillion. The split between higher sales estimates and lower profit estimates shows why margin recovery matters more than volume alone.

Stock remains below yearly high

At IDR 6,775 on October 7, 2026, the stock stood within its 52-week range of IDR 5,925 to IDR 9,550. Trading volume was 617,700 shares and market capitalization was IDR 79.0 trillion on the same date, giving investors a market-value anchor while the earnings debate centers on currency and input costs.

The next valuation test is whether overseas sales growth can offset higher costs without forcing aggressive price increases. For Indofood CBP, the first-half figures point to resilient demand, but the 33.09 percent net-income decline leaves currency management and margin protection as the decisive operating variables.
