Bumi Resources Director & Corporate Secretary Dileep Srivastava said the company’s share price had risen 14 percent from the opening week of Rp 50 / share.
“It’s hard to comment on a real trigger for Bumi, but there is no denying that BUMI is a very low value stock despite its bright medium term prospects,” Dileep said when contacted by CNBC Indonesia.
According to him, the prospect of higher coal prices amid the news of the discovery of a vaccine can also boost the global economy so that demand for coal will improve. For this reason, Dileep said that this condition is beneficial for the sector, especially Bumi Resources.
In addition, the Indonesian government is increasingly aggressively moving downstream coal through coal gasification. Currently, there are three companies that are considered to be the most ready to carry out a gasification project by completing a feasibility study or a pre-study.
One of them is PT Arutmin Indonesia, a subsidiary of the largest coal company BUMI, which will process from coal to methanol.
On the other hand, coal prices also continue to skyrocket. The contract price for Newcastle thermal coal closed at a rapid rate in trading yesterday. Coal prices have been on an upward trend since mid-October.
