Rancak Media JAKARTA – Jakarta-based oil and gas issuer, PT Energi Mega Persada Tbk. (ENRG), a prominent entity within the Bakrie Group, is poised for significant expansion, setting ambitious production targets for the next five years. To fuel this projected growth, the company has strategically earmarked a substantial capital expenditure (capex) program.
Recently, ENRG estimated its total capex requirements for business expansion between 2025 and 2030 at a staggering US$1.4 billion, equivalent to Rp23.32 trillion (based on an exchange rate of Rp16,655 per US dollar). Specifically for 2026, the company plans to allocate US$200 million, or approximately Rp3.33 trillion, towards these strategic initiatives.
A key funding strategy for this ambitious pipeline of projects involves the issuance of debt securities. ENRG is currently preparing the first tranche of its “Obligasi Berkelanjutan I Energi Mega Persada Tahap I Tahun 2025” (Sustainable Bond I Energi Mega Persada Phase I Year 2025), aiming to raise Rp500 billion.
The prospectus for this initial bond issuance draws upon ENRG’s financial statements for the first half of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the company reported total liabilities of US$926.48 million, comprising US$452.15 million in short-term liabilities and US$474.32 million in long-term liabilities.

Delving deeper into its financial performance for the first six months of 2025, ENRG’s debt-to-equity ratio (DER) stood at 0.36 times, a slight improvement from 0.43 times in 2024. The interest coverage ratio (ICR) showed robust health, increasing to 12.80 times, comfortably surpassing the 2024 level of 10.21 times. Meanwhile, the company’s return on asset (ROA) was 4.41%, nearly matching the 4.76% achieved in 2024.
However, ENRG’s latest financial report for the first nine months of 2025 reveals a slight increase in total liabilities to US$947.45 million, composed of US$469.82 million in short-term liabilities and US$477.64 million in long-term liabilities.
Providing expert insight, Iman Gunadi, an Equity Analyst at PT Indo Premier Sekuritas (IPOT), noted that while ENRG recorded increased revenue and profit with a net profit margin of approximately 15% during the first nine months of 2025, its capital structure still indicates high leverage. This is evidenced by a debt-to-equity ratio (DER) of around 1.29 times and a current ratio of approximately 0.54 times.
“These ratios highlight a critical need for rigorous liquidity management, particularly given that a substantial portion of its obligations falls within the short-term horizon,” Iman explained.
In the context of debt-funded expansion, Iman further elaborated that effective balance sheet management is a decisive factor for sustainable growth. Given ENRG’s current ratio of less than one, he stressed the importance of ensuring efficient operational cash flow, capex deployment, and refinancing strategies to maintain liquidity ratios at levels that robustly support its business activities.
From an investor’s vantage point, Iman believes the market tends to reward issuers who demonstrate disciplined capital structure management and present concrete indicators of short-term execution.
He clarified, “Long-term projections are typically valued by the market only when underpinned by a clear trend of improving financial ratios, such as a decreasing DER, increasing ICR, enhanced operating cash flow, or a rise in production.”
In this light, he suggests that ENRG has the potential to achieve a more favorable valuation if it can consistently demonstrate improvements in leverage and liquidity amidst its debt-driven growth strategy.

Summary
PT Energi Mega Persada Tbk. (ENRG) berencana melakukan ekspansi signifikan antara tahun 2025 dan 2030, mengalokasikan US$1.4 miliar (Rp23.32 triliun) untuk belanja modal, yang sebagian akan didanai melalui penerbitan obligasi sebesar Rp500 miliar. Meskipun sahamnya melonjak 417.39% secara year-to-date, ditutup pada Rp1,190 pada 2 Desember 2025, dan melampaui target konsensus analis sebesar Rp1,165, struktur keuangannya menunjukkan tingkat leverage yang tinggi. UOB Kay Hian bahkan menetapkan target harga yang lebih tinggi, yaitu Rp1,600.
Meski pendapatan dan laba meningkat dengan margin laba bersih sekitar 15% pada sembilan bulan pertama tahun 2025, rasio utang terhadap ekuitas ENRG mencapai sekitar 1.29 kali dan rasio lancarnya sekitar 0.54 kali. Seorang analis dari PT Indo Premier Sekuritas menekankan perlunya manajemen likuiditas dan neraca yang ketat, terutama mengingat banyaknya kewajiban jangka pendek. Pertumbuhan berkelanjutan perusahaan sangat bergantung pada efisiensi arus kas operasional, penggunaan belanja modal, dan strategi pembiayaan kembali untuk memperbaiki rasio-rasio keuangan.
