PT Aneka Tambang (Antam) Tbk's financial report shows that the company earned a net profit of Rp2.32 trillion in the first quarter of 2025.
This net profit surged 1,003% year-on-year (yoy) from Rp210.58 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
The increase in net profit was driven by high sales. Sales reached Rp26.15 trillion, a 203.35% yoy increase from Rp8.62 trillion.
However, cost of goods sold also jumped from Rp8.37 trillion to Rp22.51 trillion, resulting in gross profit rising from Rp250 billion to Rp3.64 trillion.
Antam's largest sales contribution came from gold, reaching Rp21.6 trillion in Q1 2025. This figure skyrocketed 181.67% yoy from Rp7.67 trillion in the first quarter of the previous year.
Gold sales volume also increased significantly by 93% year-on-year to 13,739 kg, supported by a 39% increase in production to 230 kg.
According to Katadata, the surge in gold sales for the ANTM-coded issuer was driven by increased global demand fueled by geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainty. Gold is seen as a safe haven asset.
