JCI Closes Slightly Higher, Boosted by Technology Sector Stocks

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) weakened throughout trading on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. However, towards the close of trading, the JCI returned to the green zone.

As a result, the JCI closed slightly higher today, up 0.05 percent or 5 points to 8,980. Based on data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), 420 stocks declined and 299 stocks appreciated.

"The JCI closed with limited gains in today's trading, after initially moving lower. Technology sector stocks posted the biggest gains (2.14 percent), while industrial sector stocks experienced the biggest correction (-3.45 percent)," said the Phintraco Sekuritas Analyst Team on Tuesday, January 27.

According to the Phintraco Team, UNTR and ASII stocks experienced significant declines, which then dragged down the JCI. “The decline was triggered by news that Danantara may take over 28 license-revoked companies due to the disaster in Sumatra,” it said.

On the other hand, several stocks that had been under selling pressure over the past few days rebounded. This rebound limited further weakness in the JCI, allowing it to close slightly higher.

Today, the volume of shares traded was 55.23 billion shares, with a trading frequency of 3.24 million transactions. The total trading value reached IDR 27.39 trillion (USD 1.63 billion), and the market capitalization became IDR 16,351 trillion.

Meanwhile, the Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas Analyst Team noted that most Asian stock exchanges closed higher today. This strengthening was supported by the release of industrial profit data in China.

Corporate profits in the industrial sector rose 0.6 percent in 2025, after three consecutive years of decline. “This is a success for the Chinese government in controlling aggressive price competition,” said the Pilarmas Analysts Team.

In addition, Chinese companies are also actively seeking growth abroad amid weak domestic demand. Industrial profits rose 5.3 percent year-on-year (yoy) in December 2025. (Gusti Panji/Lasti Martina)
