JAKARTA - PT Ancora Indonesia Resources Tbk (OKAS) managed to grab the top gainer title during yesterday’s closing bell (16/5) in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). A day before yesterday (15/5), the issuer was stuck at the runner-up position under PT Sarana Mitra Luas Tbk (SMIL) following its debt restructuring plan that resulted in positive sentiment among the public.

Based on IDX data compiled by IDNFinancials today (17/5), OKAS’s stock price grew IDR 42 or 34.43% to IDR 164 per share from the initial IDR 164 seen on Monday (15/5).
