JCI Plunges 5.2% as Top Stocks Face Heavy Foreign Sell-Off This Week

According to data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), the IHSG plummeted by 1.98%, shedding a substantial 135.57 points to close at 6,723.32 on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. This marked the final trading day before a long public holiday, potentially intensifying the impact of the sell-off. Key factors weighing heavily on the index included the ongoing MSCI rebalancing and a notable weakening of the rupiah currency against major counterparts.

The cumulative decline for the IHSG over the last trading week reached a significant 5.2%. This broad weakness was mirrored across the BEI’s sectoral indices, with most experiencing considerable pressure during Wednesday’s trading session. The raw materials sector bore the brunt of the sell-off, diving 4.43%, followed by infrastructure with a 2.72% drop, and energy down 1.61%. Non-primary consumer goods also fell by 1.40%, health by 1.22%, and technology by 0.71%.

The negative momentum extended to other sectors as well, with property and real estate declining by 0.70%, finance by 0.58%, and primary consumer goods by 0.44%. Amidst this widespread retreat, foreign investors registered a net sell of Rp 1.53 trillion across all markets on Wednesday, significantly contributing to the downward pressure on Indonesian stocks.

Despite the substantial daily foreign sell-off on Wednesday, a broader look at the past week reveals a contrasting trend: foreign investors still booked a significant net buy of Rp 9.17 trillion across all markets. This highlights a complex interplay of investor sentiment and capital flows. However, certain stocks experienced notable divestment by foreign investors during this period. Below is a detailed list of the top 10 stocks that faced the largest foreign net sell over the past week:

  1. PT Bank Mandiri Tbk (BMRI)
    Rp 1.46 trillion
