According to the data above, the stock of metaverse technology issuer WIRG was the winner throughout April with an extraordinary price jump of 554.76%. WIRG shares were first listed on the stock exchange on April 4, 2022, with an initial offering price of IDR 168/unit.
WIRG shares had shot 10 days in a row, with 7 times in a row touching the upper auto rejection (ARA) limit.
After that, this stock also collapsed by breaking through the lower auto rejection (ARB) limit 4 times in a row. Finally, on Thursday (28/4), WIRG shares closed down 5.58%.
WIRG shares have been stealing attention since their debut because some of their shares are held by well-known names, from the daughter of the 4th Indonesian president Gus Dur, Yenny Wahid, entrepreneur Pieter Tanuri, to high-ranking officials in the energy company PT Indika Energy Tbk (INDY).
In addition to stock prices that skyrocketed to the moon, WIR Asia itself is noted to have collaborated a lot with a number of companies or major Indonesian issuers in developing the metaverse.
Quoted from a number of online media reports, a trio of state-owned banks, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk (BBRI), PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk (BBNI), and PT Bank Mandiri Tbk (BMRI) have also collaborated with WIRG.
In addition to the trio of large banks, a giant listed retail store chain under the Alfamart brand PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk (AMRT) is also collaborating with WIRG.
With this collaboration, Alfamart enters the WIRG virtual store ecosystem under the brand name Mind Stores.
Apart from Alfamart, pharmaceutical issuer PT Kimia Farma Tbk (KAEF), as well as a religious learning platform company initiated by Yenny Wahid (who is also a shareholder of WIRG) Awadah Group are listed as members of the Mind Stores ecosystem.
In addition to WIRG’s shares, the shares of the textile issuer BELL are also being hunted by investors so that the price has flown 142.47% during April.
Previously, IDX included BELL shares in the category of shares with unusual market activity (UMA), as of Tuesday (26/4/2022).
In a written statement, the stock exchange explained that this was because there had been an unusual increase in BELL’s share price.
“The UMA announcement does not necessarily indicate a violation of the laws and regulations in the Capital Market sector,” explained IDX.
The latest information regarding BELL is information on April 22, 2022 which was published through the IDX website regarding the delivery of public expose material, aka the annual public exposure. BELL itself has held a public expose on Wednesday (27/4).
In connection with the occurrence of the UMA on the BELL shares, the Exchange is currently observing the development of the stock transaction pattern.
Not to be missed, HOPE and SDMU shares also became investors’ idols with jumps of 109.09% and 63.24% respectively throughout April.
