Indonesia’s dynamic construction sector, a bellwether for infrastructure development, is currently under the financial lens as key players unveil their latest contract acquisitions and future projections. Investors are closely scrutinizing these figures to gauge immediate performance and anticipated trajectories within this pivotal industry.

2025 New Contract Performance: A Mixed Landscape

The journey through 2025 has yielded varied results for major construction entities, revealing both robust growth and significant headwinds as they race towards year-end targets.

TOTL and ADHI: Nearing the Finish Line

• Total Bangun Persada (TOTL) has demonstrated impressive momentum, securing new contracts valued at IDR 5.27 trillion by mid-November 2025. This figure already surpasses its full-year 2025 target of IDR 5 trillion by approximately +5%, positioning the company as a frontrunner in contract acquisition for the year.

• In contrast, Adhi Karya (ADHI) navigated a more challenging path. The company recorded new contracts totaling IDR 14.1 trillion over the first eleven months of 2025 (11M25). While substantial, this represents a -7% year-on-year (YoY) decline and stands at only 50-56% of its ambitious IDR 25-28 trillion target for 2025, suggesting a significant gap to close in the final stretch.

WIKA and PTPP: September Snapshot Reveals Challenges

Updates from other industry stalwarts, Wijaya Karya (WIKA) and PT PP (PTPP), provide a snapshot of performance up to September 2025 (9M25).

• Wijaya Karya (WIKA) faced considerable headwinds, with new contract values reaching IDR 6.19 trillion. This marks a steep -60% YoY contraction and accounts for only about 36% of its IDR 17 trillion 2025 target. Such a significant decline raises questions about the company’s operational agility and market positioning.

• Meanwhile, PT PP (PTPP) posted new contracts amounting to IDR 16.88 trillion for 9M25. While a respectable figure, it still represents an -18.8% YoY decrease and approximately 59% of its IDR 28.5 trillion full-year target, indicating that achieving its ambitious goal will require a strong push in the final quarter.

Looking Ahead: 2026 Guidance Signals Diverse Strategies

Peering into the crystal ball of 2026, several companies have released their initial guidance, offering a glimpse into their strategic priorities and anticipated market conditions.

• TOTL maintains a pragmatic outlook, targeting new contracts of IDR 5 trillion for 2026, flat against its 2025 target. The company projects revenue of IDR 3.8 trillion, a modest +2% YoY growth compared to its annualized 9M25 performance, suggesting a focus on stability and sustained profitability.

• WIKA, perhaps aiming for a rebound, has set an ambitious target for new contracts in 2026: a minimum of IDR 20 trillion. This aggressive guidance implies at least an +18% YoY increase over its 2025 target, signaling a potential strategic pivot or a strong pipeline of upcoming projects.

• ADHI offers a more conservative projection for 2026, aiming for new contracts valued at IDR 23.8 trillion. This guidance represents a 5-15% reduction compared to its 2025 target, which could indicate a more realistic assessment of market capacity or a shift towards higher-margin, fewer-volume projects. The company may be recalibrating expectations after its 2025 performance.

As these construction giants lay the groundwork for their financial futures, their performance metrics and forward-looking guidance provide critical insights for investors navigating Indonesia’s evolving infrastructure landscape. The next year will undoubtedly test their resilience and strategic acumen in securing new projects and driving shareholder value.
