JAKARTA – The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is set to reopen for trading on February 18, 2026, following a two-day closure in observance of the Chinese New Year 2026 holiday.
According to official data from the IDX website released on Thursday, February 12, 2026, the bourse will implement a temporary suspension of trading next week. Specifically, trading will halt on February 16, 2026, which coincides with the Joint Holiday for Chinese New Year 2577 Kongzili. This will be followed by another closure on February 17, 2026, marking the actual Chinese New Year 2577 Kongzili. Consequently, market activities will fully resume on February 18, 2026.
Meanwhile, the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) kicked off Thursday’s trading session (February 12, 2026) in a positive light, opening in the green zone. Early morning trading saw several key stocks, including PT Bumi Resources Tbk. (BUMI), PT Petrosea Tbk. (PTRO), and PT Aneka Tambang Tbk. (ANTM), registering gains.
Data from RTI Infokom revealed that at 09:00 AM WIB, the IHSG opened strongly at 8,304.01. Shortly after the opening bell, the index fluctuated within a narrow range, moving between 8,298 and 8,329, indicating robust early investor confidence.
A broader market overview showed a generally optimistic sentiment, with 338 stocks experiencing gains, 113 recording declines, and 208 remaining unchanged. The overall market capitalization of the IHSG stood at an impressive Rp15,117 trillion, reflecting the scale of the Indonesian equity market.
Among the top performers, shares of PT Bumi Resources Tbk. (BUMI) saw a significant increase, climbing 2.21% to reach Rp278 per share. PT Petrosea Tbk. (PTRO) also posted a healthy gain of 2.81%, reaching Rp7,325 per share. Similarly, PT Aneka Tambang Tbk. (ANTM) strengthened by 1%, trading at Rp4,030 per share.
Further contributing to the green zone were stocks such as PT Barito Pacific Tbk. (BRPT), which rose 0.44% to Rp2,290. PT Bank Victoria International Tbk. (BUVA) saw a 0.77% increase to Rp1,305, and PT Ratu Prabu Energi Tbk. (RATU) surged by 3.64% to Rp6,400 per share, showcasing a broad-based positive momentum across various sectors.
Looking ahead, Phintraco Sekuritas Research Team, as reported by Bisnis previously, anticipates the IHSG could continue its upward trajectory, potentially testing the 8,350-8,400 level during Thursday’s trading. This optimistic outlook is underpinned by several factors expected to fuel economic growth in Q1 2026.
Analysts point to a powerful combination of fiscal stimulus and a seasonal surge in consumption, driven by major holidays such as Chinese New Year, Ramadan, and Eid al-Fitr. These events are projected to significantly boost economic activity. The government has allocated a substantial Rp12.83 trillion for an economic stimulus package for Q1 2026, which includes transportation ticket discounts, toll road tariff reductions, and social assistance, to be disbursed from February to March 2026.
Adding to the positive market sentiment are ongoing discussions between the IDX and MSCI. These advanced talks cover crucial areas such as the disclosure of shareholders holding over 1% equity, the provision of more granular investor data, and the progress toward increasing the minimum free float threshold from 7.5% to 15%. Additionally, the IDX is set to introduce a new policy: a shareholders concentration list, designed to identify stocks with notably concentrated ownership, fostering greater transparency and market stability.
