Rancak Media – Amidst cooling consumer purchasing power and sluggish national vehicle demand, Indonesia’s automotive sector faced significant headwinds throughout 2025. Despite this challenging landscape, several industry leaders have managed to maintain operational stability while continuing to provide attractive returns to their investors.
This resilience was highlighted during the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) of a prominent national automotive issuer, which opted to distribute substantial dividends despite reporting a decline in net profit for the previous fiscal year.
The company reported consolidated revenue of IDR 16.2 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year, with net profit reaching IDR 462 billion. Compared to the previous year, revenue saw a marginal correction of approximately 1 percent, while net profit fell by 19 percent, reflecting the broader pressures weighing on the national automotive and mobility market.

Nevertheless, the firm remains confident in its business fundamentals, relying on a strategy defined by selective operational discipline and efficiency. The company’s focus remains firmly set on cost control, prudent risk management, and the optimization of its business portfolio to ensure long-term, high-quality growth.
