Jiwa Group: Scaling Beyond Coffee

Investment Memo

2026

Jiwa Group could unlock further value through its digital ecosystem, premium café expansion, and a valuation discount to Indonesian F&B peers.

Purpose

Whether Jiwa Group could translate its scale and multi-brand platform into sustainable earnings growth and a higher valuation as it expands beyond mass-market coffee.

Findings

01Jiwa Group's multi-brand platform spans coffee, food, tea, and premium cafés; JIWA+ can deepen customer engagement and drive cross-selling across the portfolio.
02As coffee shops increasingly become lifestyle and social spaces, Janji Jiwa Culture gives the group an avenue into higher-value consumption, supporting stronger AOV, SSSG, and margins.
03Despite operating 900+ outlets, Jiwa Group trades at 9.96x its size multiple versus significantly higher peer multiples, creating potential for a valuation re-rating.
04With six brands competing across different segments, a more focused portfolio could improve capital allocation, profitability, and the investment case for an eventual exit.
