Flooring Guide by Cinvex – , JAKARTA – PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk. (AMRT), the prominent operator of the Alfamart mini-market chain, has announced plans for a substantial share buyback program. The company intends to repurchase its shares with a maximum value of IDR 1.5 trillion, strategically timed amidst prevailing significant market fluctuations.
As detailed in the company’s information disclosure released on December 5, 2025, the buyback initiative is scheduled to run from December 8, 2025, until March 6, 2026. AMRT explicitly stated that this strategic corporate move adheres to the stipulations of OJK Regulations No. 29/2023 and No. 13/2023, which offer provisions for share repurchases during periods of market volatility.
To execute this program, the company has earmarked a maximum budget of IDR 1.5 trillion, enabling the repurchase of up to 650 million shares. Importantly, this volume will not surpass the 20% threshold of issued and paid-up capital, ensuring compliance, and will also maintain a minimum public shareholding of 7.5%.
“The share buyback is anticipated to play a crucial role in stabilizing the Company’s stock price during periods of market volatility,” stated AMRT management in its disclosure on Friday, December 5, 2025. They further added that this move is also expected to significantly bolster investor confidence in the Company’s underlying fundamental value.
AMRT’s management also assured stakeholders that the buyback program will not impede the company’s operational activities or cash flow, as the entirety of the funding will be drawn from internal cash reserves. Proforma financial statements underscore this stability, indicating no significant alterations to key performance indicators, with net profit projected to remain at a robust IDR 2.31 trillion.
Beyond its immediate goal of stabilizing the stock price, management also highlighted the long-term strategic flexibility offered by the buyback program. Treasury shares acquired through this initiative can be subsequently resold in the future, providing the company with an agile mechanism to raise additional capital if required.

This figure represents a modest 3.49% year-on-year (YoY) decline when compared to the IDR 2.39 trillion net profit recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Despite the slight dip in net profit, AMRT’s financial reports reveal a robust performance in net revenue. The company successfully registered a 7.09% year-on-year growth, with net revenue climbing to IDR 94.47 trillion for the third quarter of 2025, up from IDR 88.21 trillion in the prior year.

Similarly, revenue from Java regions outside Jabodetabek also demonstrated positive momentum, climbing 3.96% year-on-year to IDR 34.83 trillion. The strongest growth, however, was seen in areas outside Java, where AMRT’s revenue impressively surged by 14.84% year-on-year, reaching IDR 36.68 trillion.
Breaking down revenue by segment, AMRT’s food category experienced a healthy 7.15% year-on-year increase, contributing IDR 66.82 trillion. Concurrently, the non-food segment also showed strong performance, with revenue growing by 6.96% year-on-year to IDR 27.64 trillion.

Nevertheless, AMRT contended with an escalation in various operational expenses. Selling and distribution costs for Alfamart, for instance, climbed from IDR 15.04 trillion to IDR 16.55 trillion. Furthermore, general and administrative expenses also saw an uptick, rising from IDR 1.57 trillion to IDR 1.7 trillion.
Consequently, Alfamart’s operating profit experienced a contraction, decreasing from IDR 3.1 trillion in the third quarter of 2024 to IDR 2.95 trillion in the third quarter of 2025.
