Mandiri Sekuritas, Head of Equity Research and Strategy, Adrian Joezer, said foreigners are currently taking profits from large-cap bank issuers. This is because the increase in share prices and profits at these issuers is relatively high.
“It has outperformed. (Weakening of bank shares) due to profit taking by foreign investors,” he said at a news conference at Mandiri Tower, Jakarta on Tuesday (10/1).
However, Indonesia’s large-cap banking stocks are still interesting to collect. However, foreign investors tend to be selective because their share price performance is already high. “Bank shares are still selective. This year they are even more selective,” she said.
