. The companies under scrutiny are:

1. PT MNC Energy Investments Tbk (IATA)
2. PT Urban Jakarta Propertindo Tbk (URBN)
3. PT Newport Marine Services Tbk (BOAT)
4. PT Pelayaran Nasional Bina Buana Raya Tbk (BBRM)
5. PT Soraya Berjaya Indonesia Tbk (SPRE)

Regulatory Context and Implications

The IDX has clarified that UMA announcements do not necessarily indicate regulatory violations ¹

. The exchange routinely monitors market activity to maintain fair market practices and protect investor interests. This increased scrutiny suggests potential concerns about market manipulation or other irregularities, though no formal violations have been confirmed.

Market Impact and Investor Considerations

The monitoring of these stocks may lead to heightened investor scrutiny and potentially affect trading activity. Investors should be aware that the IDX's action could be a precursor to further investigation or regulatory actions, though the exact implications remain uncertain at this stage.
