announced its plan for an acquisition of Pinehill Group from affiliated parties.
How big Pinehill group is?
Total sales volume stood at 7.4bn packs of noodle in FY19 (vs. 's around 14bn packs sales volume in Indonesia), with 3-year volume CAGR of around 10%. They are also the most dominant player in all these countries (market share of 50-90%).
Pinehill owns four subsidiary companies and is primarily engaged in the manufacturing of instant noodles in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco and Serbia using the "Indomie" trademark under a licensing agreement with PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk ("Indofood"). stated that it will conduct due diligence on the Pinehill group before deciding whether or not to proceed with a transaction.
Pinehill is an affiliate of Mr. Anthoni Salim, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), a substantial shareholder of the Company, the President Director and CEO of Indofood and the President Director and CEO of and, therefore, a connected person of the Company. If the possible acquisition of Pinehill by were to proceed, the transaction would also be a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, subject to the applicable requirements of Chapter 14A.
What to do with the stock? Learning from the Past.
We recorded three of Indofood Group's latest corporate actions, two of which (Jun 2017 and end-2018) were land acquisitions from related parties. Upon announcement, share price reacted negatively (-5/-7% and -9/-11% for /INDF) in those two instances, although the latter one was short-lived as reported strong 1Q19 revenue and earnings growth soon after. Today we see 6.3% and 8.8% share price decline for and respectively.
 Comment: Expect some dip on the back of this news. Related Party Transaction is always deemed negative.   Yet, I would take this opportunity to LONG the stock! This is called Inter-related Company financing. Historically speaking, the stock will always bounce back once the dust has settled.    
 I personally found these two books are very insightful to better understand Salim Group. I really recommend these books below i.e. Liem Sioe Liong's Salim Group by Richard Borsuk and Nancy Chng and the Rhythm of Strategy by Marleen Dieleman

Cement: Jan20 sales volume was weak across area ( -6% yoy/INTP -10% yoy/National -8% yoy
Jan cement volume just came out with overall volume dropped by 8% yoy (national) with dropped by 6% yoy (combined with Holcim) while dropped by 10% yoy,  some people argued it was due to flooding but in fact both Java and ex-Java post negative growth .
Some flood and heavy rainfall still persist in Feb so we don't expect a meaningful volume pick-up in Feb.  Weak demand, combined with risk of oversupply (attached below) made us skeptical on the prospect of ASP and thus, overall margin .
While we initially thought the drop in stock price for both (-5%) and (-2%) today was purely caused by weak volume,  apparently there was another issue that some workers union tried to brought 's CEO past case ('s Saka) to KPK which exacerbated the drop in stock price . We believe this was largely political move and happened regularly ahead of its AGM (next 2 months), so right now we would like to take it with a pinch of salt.
