Foreign investors’ buying action was observed again during yesterday’s trading on Tuesday (14/4/2026), in line with the strengthening of the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). Foreigners recorded a net foreign buy of around Rp626 billion across the entire market.

Several big-cap banking to commodity stocks became the primary targets, reflecting a rotation of funds towards liquid stocks with strong fundamentals.

Bank Central Asia (BBCA) became the stock with the largest net buy, namely Rp160.7 billion. This was followed by Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI) at Rp105.5 billion.

Bank Negara Indonesia (BBNI) and Bank Mandiri (BMRI) also made it into the top five stocks with the largest net foreign buys.

In detail, here are the 10 stocks with the largest foreign net buys from yesterday’s trading:

  • PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA) - Rp160.7 billion

  • PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBRI) - Rp105.5 billion

  • PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM/EMAS) - Rp77.9 billion

  • PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBNI) - Rp70.4 billion

  • PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk (BMRI) - Rp69.1 billion

  • PT ESSA Industries Indonesia Tbk (ESSA) - Rp54.1 billion

  • PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk (MEDC) - Rp50.1 billion

  • PT United Tractors Tbk (UNTR) - Rp33.5 billion

  • PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk (JSMR) - Rp33.2 billion

The inflow of foreign funds also supported the IHSG’s movement, which closed up 2.34% or 175.76 points at the level of 7,675.95.

A total of 548 stocks rose, 151 fell, and 119 were unchanged. The trading value this morning reached Rp24.85 trillion, involving 53.31 billion shares in 3.11 million transactions. Market capitalisation also rose to Rp13,710 trillion.

Nearly all trading sectors strengthened, with the largest gains recorded in the infrastructure and basic materials sectors, while only the non-primary consumer sector weakened.

Conglomerate issuers and fundamentally strong blue-chip stocks uniformly strengthened significantly. The main drivers of the IHSG’s performance were DSSA, MORA, BBRI, BRPT, BBCA, BREN, AMMN, and BMRI.
