Trading This Friday: Profit from the Weakening IHSG with These 10 Stock Picks

  Pungky   | Friday, January 30, 2026, 09:00 WIB Morning, crew! Opened your trading app and got greeted by a sea of red on the IHSG? Yeah, feels like the market woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But hold up—before you switch off and go make another coffee, let's talk. A red market isn't a stop sign; it's a filter. It separates the panic-sellers from the opportunity-spotters. The index might be taking a breather around 8,232, but guess what? The big analysts aren't sleeping. They're actually circling a bunch of stocks with buy signals flashing. Might be a chance to grab something useful while prices are on sale. So, let's cut through the noise and see what the pros are looking at. The Big Picture: Mixed Signals, Selective Plays Look, the global scene is messy. Good news: that whole U.S. government shutdown drama got a temporary fix, which is why other Asian markets are breathing a sigh of relief. Bad news: Wall Street caught a chill from Microsoft's earni...

IHSG Shows Rebound Potential as Market Tries to Stabilize

  By Pungky The Indonesian stock market is slowly trying to regain its balance after a rough stretch. Following several sessions of heavy pressure, the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) is now showing early signs of a possible rebound heading into Friday’s trading session, January 30, 2026. That doesn’t mean the danger is over. Volatility is still high, and market sentiment remains fragile. However, the fact that selling pressure has started to ease gives traders a reason to stay alert rather than panic. In moments like this, opportunities often appear quietly, not loudly. Selling Pressure Is Still There, But It’s Losing Strength IHSG closed the previous session down about 1%, settling around the 8,231 level. During the day, the index even dipped sharply to the 7,400 range before managing to recover part of the losses. This recovery, although modest, is important. It shows that buyers are beginning to step in at lower levels. Foreign investors are still recording net selling, but...

RLCO & SIPD Finally Unleashed, But with a Pit Stop at the "Warning Board"!

 Author : Pungky Hey there, fellow market hunters! Some good news for those who've been on edge holding RLCO and SIPD. The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX/BEI) has finally lifted the trading suspension of PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk (SIPD) and PT Abadi Lestari Indonesia Tbk (RLCO) today, Friday (30/1/2026). Starting from the first session, both are tradable again. But don't break out the big smile just yet. They aren't returning smoothly to the main board. The IDX has placed them on the Special Monitoring Board (PPK). Think of it as a special "holding room" for stocks under intense surveillance due to movements deemed unusual. So, trading is allowed, but the hazard lights are blinking non-stop. A Trip Down Memory Lane: RLCO's Meteoric Rise from Buddy to Superstar Let's rewind a bit for context. The reason they were 'benched' is simple: their price increases were absolutely insane, mind-boggling! Take RLCO, for instance. Its story is like a daydream....

IHSG Still Under Pressure: Market Outlook and Stock Ideas for January 30, 2026

 Author: Pungky The Indonesian stock market is still trying to find its balance. After experiencing strong selling pressure in the previous session, the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) is entering the last trading days of January in a rather unstable condition. For Friday, January 30, 2026, the market is expected to remain volatile, with limited upside and potential short-term corrections. This kind of movement isn’t surprising. When the market goes through sharp swings, investors usually slow down, reassess their positions, and wait for clearer signals. As a result, price movements become choppy rather than directional. Market Still in a Correction Phase On Thursday’s close, IHSG slipped by around 1% and settled near the 8,230 level. Selling pressure was quite noticeable, supported by relatively high trading volume. This suggests that some investors are still reducing exposure, especially after recent market turbulence. From a technical perspective, IHSG is still moving within a sh...

Indonesian Stock Market Still Quite Bumpy: Chill, But Keep an Eye Out

 Author: Pungky Lately, talking about the Indonesian stock market feels like describing a roller coaster at sunset — you’re not sure whether to be excited, scared, or just grab a snack and enjoy the show. The main index, IHSG, has been moving with pretty wild swings , and honestly, it’s one of those moments where everyone’s watching, no one’s certain . This week, the market showed a clear sign that it’s not ready to settle into a clear direction just yet. Instead of marching steadily north or tumbling south, it’s been bouncing around — dipping in one session, biting back in the next. That kind of behavior makes sense when traders are trying to read headlines, digest data, and figure out whether gains are real or just noise. What Fluctuating Really Feels Like If you’re new to stocks, let me break it down in everyday terms: imagine checking your dashboard and seeing numbers that don’t behave like usual. One moment the market seems calm, the next moment it’s shaking as if it had too ...

IHSG Expected to Move Sideways: What Investors Should Watch in Today’s Market

 Author: Pungky A.S The Indonesian stock market is entering an interesting phase again. After a series of sharp moves earlier this week, the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) is now expected to move in a mixed or sideways direction. For many investors, this kind of market feels confusing—prices go up and down, but there’s no clear trend to follow. Still, a mixed market doesn’t always mean bad news. In fact, for those who understand how to read market signals, this kind of condition can actually open up new opportunities. Why the Market Feels Uncertain Right Now Over the past few sessions, IHSG experienced strong selling pressure. Some investors decided to lock in profits, while others preferred to stay on the sidelines and wait for clarity. This combination often leads to a choppy market—one moment optimistic, the next moment cautious. Another factor is sentiment. When investors feel unsure about short-term direction, they tend to trade more selectively. Instead of buying broadly acro...

Hillcon Controller Sells and Buys Back Shares in the Same Amount and Price – What It Means for Investors

 Recently, PT Hillcon Tbk (HILL) caught the attention of investors after a seemingly unusual move: the controlling shareholder sold shares one day, then bought back the exact same number at the same price the next day . At first glance, this might look confusing. Why would a controlling shareholder sell and immediately buy back shares? Is it a sign of lack of confidence, or a clever financial strategy? Let’s break it down in simple, reader-friendly language. What Actually Happened? On January 21, 2026 , the controlling shareholder, PT Hillcon Equity Management (HEM) , sold 13,389,300 shares of HILL at Rp160 per share . However, this wasn’t a typical open-market sale. The transaction was carried out through a repurchase agreement (repo) . The very next day, January 22, 2026 , HEM bought back the same number of shares at the same price . After this transaction, HEM slightly increased its ownership, holding 42.76% of total outstanding shares . For many, this looks strange—why sel...

IHSG Rises 0.24% Despite Heavy Foreign Selling in BUMI, DEWA, and BBCA – What It Means for Investors

 On Monday, January 26, 2026 , the Indonesian stock market showed an interesting move. The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) managed to rise about 0.24% even though foreign investors were actively selling major blue-chip stocks such as BUMI , DEWA , and BBCA . This unusual scenario has many investors wondering: how can the index rise while foreigners are unloading shares? Let’s break it down in simple terms. IHSG’s Movement That Day IHSG opened the trading session on a positive note and maintained gains throughout the morning. The index increased roughly 21 points or 0.24% , reaching around 8,972 , and even touched an intraday high of 9,058 before slightly retracting toward the close. This movement was notable because it occurred despite heavy foreign selling pressure. The total trading value was also significant, reaching nearly IDR 21 trillion , with tens of billions of shares changing hands. This shows that local investors remained active, keeping the market lively even as ...

New BOGA Controller Launches Mandatory Tender at Rp529 – What It Means for Investors

 PT Bintang Oto Global Tbk (BOGA) just went through a big ownership change. GX Archipelago Pte Ltd is now the controlling shareholder, replacing the previous owner. Because of market rules, the new controller has to launch a mandatory tender offer —basically, a buyback offer for all public shareholders. The price? Rp529 per share. This gives public shareholders the chance to sell their shares if they want. At the same time, it allows the new controller to take full control of the company. BOGA’s Ownership Change Before this, PT Falcon Asia Investama was the main shareholder. GX Archipelago bought most of their shares in a big deal, giving them majority control. When a new controller comes in, market rules in Indonesia require a mandatory tender offer. The idea is to make sure smaller shareholders aren’t left out. Without this, the new controller could run the company however they want, which wouldn’t be fair to public shareholders. What’s a Mandatory Tender Offer? It’s simple...
