- Broker data showed substantial net selling in BUMI shares during October.
- Bumi's Mount Margaret acquisition expands its portfolio beyond coal, but remains dependent on exploration and development decisions.
- First-half revenue and pretax profit rose before the Queensland project could contribute earnings.
Bumi Resources stock is entering a new phase of investor scrutiny after broker data showed sizeable net selling in October. The latest market detail adds a trading-flow perspective to the company's expansion beyond coal.
Broker selling draws attention
IDNFinancials reported on November 9 that several securities firms recorded net selling in PT Bumi Resources Tbk shares during the 22 trading days from October 1 through October 30. UBS Sekuritas Indonesia led the foreign-investor category with IDR 117.72 billion of net selling, followed by Maybank Sekuritas Indonesia at IDR 83.29 billion.
BNI Sekuritas led domestic net selling at IDR 45.82 billion, while Sucor Sekuritas recorded IDR 45.70 billion. The figures describe broker activity rather than a confirmed cause of any share-price move, but they give investors an additional indicator for assessing market positioning.
Australian expansion remains exploratory
Bumi completed its acquisition of Mount Margaret Mining on October 23, 2026, through wholly owned subsidiary Bumi Resources Australia. The USD 22.01 million transaction adds the Queensland copper-gold project to a portfolio still anchored by coal.
Mount Margaret includes the E1 and Monakoff deposits near Cloncurry. A 2022 technical presentation cited an open-pit resource of 13 million tonnes grading 0.78 percent copper and 0.24 grams of gold per tonne. Those historical figures provide geological context, not a current production forecast. Exploration, technical work, investment and a development plan will determine whether the asset eventually contributes to revenue or earnings.
Operating backdrop and market quote
Bumi reported first-half 2026 revenue of USD 866.8 million, up 27.9 percent year over year, while pretax profit increased 102.5 percent to USD 104.3 million. The results predate any earnings contribution from Mount Margaret.
