Flooring Guide by Cinvex JAKARTA – The stock price of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk. (BDMN) has shown a notable strengthening for two consecutive trading days on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This surge comes amid a flurry of speculation circulating among market participants regarding the company’s future prospects.
BDMN shares closed at Rp3,850 yesterday (April 22, 2026), marking a significant 55.24% gain over the past week. Notably, during this period, the stock hit the auto rejection upper limit (ARA) on two separate trading days, underscoring intense investor interest.
In response to the escalating market buzz, Bank Danamon’s Chief Strategy Officer, Reza Iskandar Sardjono, stated that management would not comment on the prevailing market rumors.

“We cannot comment on rumors or speculation,” Reza affirmed, as quoted on Thursday (April 23, 2026). He elaborated that the movement of Danamon’s stock price in the capital market is entirely determined by market mechanisms, particularly the interplay between investor demand and supply, which lies beyond the company’s control.

According to Reza, the company remains steadfastly focused on managing its business operations in accordance with established strategic priorities. Danamon places a strong emphasis on strengthening financial services and solutions for its customers as a primary business agenda. Furthermore, the company is committed to continually contributing to the growth of the financial services industry and supporting the development of the national economy.
Meanwhile, circulating market rumors include a potential merger involving MUFG’s Indonesian branch, the parent entity of Bank Danamon. Such a consolidation would propel Bank Danamon to become one of the largest banks in the country. For context, as of February 2025, MUFG’s branch assets in Indonesia reached a substantial Rp209.75 trillion.
Though not from the exact same period, for comparative purposes, Danamon’s total assets at the end of 2025 stood at Rp275.71 trillion. A hypothetical merger would therefore create a combined entity with nearly Rp500 trillion in assets, potentially surpassing CIMB Niaga, which is currently the second-largest private bank in Indonesia.
Another prominent rumor suggests that Bank Danamon’s parent entity, MUFG, is once again interested in acquiring Bank Panin (PNBN) and subsequently merging it into BDMN, in line with Indonesia’s single ownership policy for banking institutions.
