        "content": "<p>The Acting President Director of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX),\nJeffrey Hendrik, has again reminded investors to make investment\ndecisions rationally by paying attention to company fundamentals and\ntheir respective risk profiles. \u201cWe at the IDX would like to reiterate\nthat we never tire of reminding investors to make investment decisions\nrationally, pay attention to fundamentals, and also invest according to\neach investor\u2019s risk profile,\u201d Jeffrey told journalists at the IDX\nBuilding in Jakarta on Thursday (4\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey revealed three main points that investors need to consider.\nFirst, the fundamentals of the Indonesian capital market remain robust.\n\u201cOur market fundamentals are currently in good condition,\u201d he said.\nJeffrey explained that based on listed companies\u2019 financial reports up\nto the end of 2025, all recorded companies posted profit growth of over\n21%. In fact, the net profit of LQ45 index constituents in the first\nquarter of 2026 grew by nearly 30% compared to the same period last\nyear.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, according to Jeffrey Hendrik, around 80% of listed\ncompanies recorded a net profit in the first quarter of 2026. This\npercentage is the highest in the last five years, up from 63% in 2020\nand within the 73-76% range during the 2021-2025 period. \u201cThis certainly\nshows that the fundamentals of our listed companies are currently in\ngood condition,\u201d Jeffrey stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, Jeffrey noted that a number of policies have been\nimplemented by capital market authorities to maintain market stability,\nsuch as the share buyback policy without a general meeting of\nshareholders, which remains in effect. The postponement of short\nselling, or the ban on short selling, also remains in place.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, Jeffrey urged investors to be cautious of information\ncirculating in the market and to always verify before making investment\ndecisions. \u201cWe certainly very much hope that investors can make\ndecisions based on accurate information,\u201d he stated. He cited inaccurate\ninformation regarding a screenshot that appeared to show an MSCI\nannouncement placing Indonesia in frontier market status. \u201cIt turned out\nthat was incorrect information,\u201d said Jeffrey. Regarding Indonesia\u2019s\nstatus in the MSCI indices, the IDX is optimistic that Indonesia will\nremain in the emerging market category. \u201cWe have very high expectations\nthat Indonesia will remain in the emerging market,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
