Foreign Net Selling Widens Again as Key Stocks Accumulate
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Despite foreign net selling reaching Rp2.22 trillion on Monday’s trading (25 May 2026), several stocks were quietly accumulated by global investors.
As a point of reference, foreign net selling contracted last week, with Rp809.1 billion recorded between 18-22 May.
PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBRI) led foreign net buying with Rp114.2 billion. Notably, foreign purchases of BBRI occurred even as global investors sold other large-cap stocks such as BMRI and AMMN, indicating selective buying of fundamentally strong equities amid market pressure.
PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk (MDKA) also saw foreign net buying of Rp112.2 billion, while PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA) recorded Rp64.6 billion in net purchases, with total transaction value nearing Rp3 trillion.
