Deleum's 70pct stake in PT OSA to boost Southeast Asia presence
In a research note today, MIDF Amanah Investment Bank (MIDF) opined that the acquisition, carried out through Deleum's wholly owned subsidiary Deleum Services Sdn Bhd, also complemented the group's current valve business under its subsidiary, Penaga Dresser Sdn Bhd.
"The acquisition aligns with the group's expected growth trajectory, and we had anticipated it as a logical step to support long-term operational benefits.
"Going forward, Deleum will likely focus on integrating PT OSA's operations and aligning business processes," it said.
MIDF said the integration with PT OSA is expected to unlock synergies such as improving valve lifecycle management services, streamlining delivery mechanisms, and fostering knowledge sharing with the Indonesian team.
"We make no changes in its forecast projection for Deleum, as we had factored in this acquisition in its estimates.
"We maintain our 'buy' call, with a target price of RM1.92," MIDF said.

M'sian firms bag RM450m potential digital exports to Indonesia
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) continues to drive the nation's digital economy across Asean, strengthening regional cooperation and market access for Malaysian companies. The agency's latest initiative under the DEX CONNEX Indonesia programme brought 83 Malaysian tech companies into the Indonesian market, which generated more than RM450 million in digital export opportunities. DEX CONNEX Indonesia is a key regional initiative that facilitated the exchange of 26 MoUs between Malaysian and Indonesian firms. These agreements span sectors such as cybersecurity, AI, cloud services, F&B, digital platforms, and talent development, aimed at creating a robust and collaborative digital ecosystem across Asean, primarily as Malaysia serves as Asean Chair that champions innovation as a driver of regional growth and resilience. MDEC CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil called Indonesia a key partner in Malaysia's digital goals. 'Through DEX CONNEX, Malaysia is focusing on cross-border collaborations to continue building a resilient digital bridge between two thriving ecosystems. 'With a strong tech ecosystem and Asean unity, both nations are shaping an inclusive, sustainable digital future for all,' he added.

Indonesia to boost US imports to avoid tougher tariffs: minister
JAKARTA: Indonesia's chief economic minister told AFP on Thursday that Jakarta would step up its energy, agriculture and merchandise imports from the United States to avoid tougher tariffs due to come into force next week. Trump announced sweeping, harsher-than-expected global levies in April, punishing allies like security partner Indonesia for running a trade surplus with the economic superpower. Trump announced a deal with Vietnam on Wednesday under which the country would face a minimum 20 percent tariff. Any similar agreement would mean Jakarta will escape the threat of a more severe 32 percent tariff on top of a baseline 10 percent. 'Indonesia will counterbalance with US energy, agriculture and merchandise imports,' minister Airlangga Hartarto told AFP. Jakarta had earlier said it would aim to boost oil and gas imports from the United States as part of a deal to avoid tougher tariffs by the July 9 deadline. Airlangga said negotiations were ongoing with the US government and private companies, with a memorandum of understanding expected soon. 'Indonesia is in the process with US and Indonesian state and private companies in the negotiations with US counterparts,' he said, adding that Jakarta was 'hopeful' for an MOU to be signed soon. The United States is one of Indonesia's top trading partners, and Jakarta enjoyed a $16.8 billion trade surplus with Washington in 2024, according to Indonesian government data. Data from the US trade representative office shows Washington's goods trade deficit with Jakarta was $17.9 billion in 2024, up 5.4 percent increase on the year prior. The US-Vietnam deal came a week before the threatened US reimposition of steep tariffs on dozens of economies, including the European Union and Japan. Many countries are still scrambling to reach deals with Washington that would protect them from the measures. Those higher tariffs are part of a package Trump initially imposed citing a lack of 'reciprocity' in trading relationships, before announcing a temporary lowering to 10 percent. Since then, Washington has announced a pact with Britain and a deal to temporarily lower retaliatory duties with China. – AFP
