PT Alamtri Resources Indonesia Tbk (ADRO), the Jakarta-listed natural resources company, is entering a new stage of growth as its aluminium smelting investments begin to take shape alongside stronger margins from its metallurgical coal business.
The outlook has strengthened Sucor Sekuritas' view of the company, with the brokerage retaining its bullish rating and a target price of IDR 3,800 (USD 0.24) per share. Analysts see Alamtri as an attractive value opportunity, citing its high-margin mining operations, sizeable internal cash reserves and potential for rapid revenue growth over the medium term.
Alamtri's growing presence in green metal refining is also drawing attention from international investors watching Southeast Asia's transition economy. The company's strategy provides an example of how earnings from fossil-fuel businesses can be redirected towards large-scale investments in decarbonisation-related industries.
A successful ramp-up could also change the composition of Alamtri's revenue. As aluminium production increases, the company would become less reliant on thermal and coking coal, reducing its exposure to fossil-fuel price swings while expanding its participation in the electric vehicle and clean energy supply chains.

Aluminium production set for sharp increase
The company's downstream investments are expected to begin showing more clearly in its financial performance over the next 18 months. Sucor Sekuritas analyst Andreas Yordan Tarigan said aluminium sales are projected at 308,647 tonnes (280,000 tonnes) in 2026, using an upgraded cash cost assumption of USD 2,337 per tonne.
That volume is expected to rise substantially in 2027, reaching 551,156 tonnes (500,000 metric tons) as utilisation at the plant reaches peak efficiency. The processing facility is expected to start making a very meaningful contribution to revenue during the second half of 2026.
The increase in processing capacity is the first return phase of Alamtri's multi-year downstream investment programme. Tarigan said the group's resilient balance sheet supports the new production assets, which are expected to contribute an increasing portion of group revenue and improve capital efficiency once commercial operations become stable.
