The AI Stack on IDX: Indonesia Owns Both Ends of the Chain and None of the Middle

Indonesia has data centers, copper and tin, and not one listed chip designer, memory maker, network supplier or AI platform — eight of the eleven layers have no IDX representative at all, which means the local AI trade is a bet on being a landlord and a supplier, not a builder, and the most expensive stock on the exchange is priced on 2,000 MW it has not built rather than the 128 MW it actually runs.

In 2026, almost every conversation about the stock market comes back to one thing: artificial intelligence. Chips, data centers, chatbots. If a company can't spell "AI," investors seem to lose interest. That is exactly why Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) is interesting. This is a business you can touch.

The Case for Hims & Hers Health: Why the Market is Wrong About the GLP-1 Shakeout

Hims & Hers is an incredibly resilient, cash-rich digital health leader that the market has fundamentally mispriced at under 2.0x forward revenues due to a short-sighted overreaction to temporary GLP-1 compounding regulations.
