Petrosea's Stock Gains Attention Amid MSCI Inclusion Speculation

Strong Price Movement Observed

PT Petrosea Tbk (PTRO) experienced significant stock price movement last week, reaching a high of Rp 12,525 per share on January 8, 2026, during intraday trading. Although the stock closed at Rp 11,275 on January 12, 2026, representing a 6.43% decline from the previous day, the overall weekly performance showed substantial gains.

MSCI Inclusion Speculation

The price surge is attributed to speculation about PTRO's potential inclusion in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) index during the February 2026 rebalancing. Nafan Aji Gusta, Senior Market Analyst at Mirae Asset Sekuritas, highlighted that this speculation was a key driver of the stock's recent performance. The company's 30% free float is seen as an attractive factor for potential inclusion in the MSCI index.

Market Outlook

Analysts remain optimistic about PTRO's prospects for 2025, citing both stock price performance and fundamental strength. The company's potential inclusion in the MSCI index could attract more international investors, potentially driving further growth in the stock price. As the MSCI rebalancing is expected in February 2026, market participants will likely continue to monitor developments related to PTRO's potential inclusion.
