Indonesia’s Retail Investing Boom Keeps Delivering — Even in Rough Markets. Retail investing in Indonesia is delivering real numbers, not just hype. Stockbit Sekuritas closed 2025 with revenue up 395% and net profit surging 544% year-on-year, a result that reflects something structural: millions of first-time investors are now actively building wealth through apps, not through traditional brokers. Global volatility may cloud the near-term outlook, but the underlying trend remains firmly on track and for a market this early in its digital investing journey, the compounding runway ahead is still enormous.

Fore Coffee Proves the Premium Coffee Thesis Is Very Much Alive Despite Ramadan seasonality and a choppy macro backdrop, Fore Coffee opened 2026 with a strong performance that should silence any doubts about Indonesia’s appetite for premium F&B. Revenue climbed 52.4% year-on-year to IDR 444.5 billion ($26 million), net profit grew 60.4% to IDR 9.43 billion, and EBITDA margin expanded to 18.3% from 16.7% a year earlier. The company added more than 20 new outlets in the quarter, with over 40% in tier-2 and tier-3 cities — exactly where Indonesia’s next wave of consumer spending growth is coming from. At 338 outlets and accelerating, Fore is becoming one of the clearest proof points that disciplined, tech-integrated F&B brands can scale profitably in this market.

one% Nutrition Is Betting on Indonesia’s Protein Gap — and It’s the Right Call The wellness economy is quietly becoming one of Indonesia’s most exciting consumer segments, and one% Nutrition is positioning itself at the center of it. The startup, backed by Init-6 (founded by Bukalapak alumni Achmad Zaky and Nugroho Herucahyono), pioneered protein water in Indonesia, a zero-sugar, lactose-free format delivering 16g of protein per bottle. The Southeast Asia protein supplements market is projected to reach USD 1.1–1.2 billion by 2030, with Indonesia expected to drive a large share of this growth, even as the market remains early in its journey. With rising health consciousness, a fitness-first Gen Z demographic, and a massive protein-intake gap relative to developed markets, the opportunity here is enormous and still wide open for a local brand to own.

Bank Jago Keeps Proving That Digital Banking in Indonesia Is a Long-Term Compounder Indonesia’s digital banking story continued to strengthen in Q1 2026, with Bank Jago (ARTO) delivering broad-based growth across every key metric. Net profit after tax surged 42% year-on-year to IDR 86 billion, loans grew 24% to IDR 25.2 trillion, and total assets rose 22% to IDR 39.5 trillion, while the NPL gross ratio remained impressively low at 0.8%. The bank now serves 19.4 million customers, up more than 3 million in a year with 15.2 million actively using the Jago app. That kind of customer engagement, combined with a 29.9% capital adequacy ratio, signals a bank with both the runway and the balance sheet strength to keep compounding as Indonesia’s digital economy expands.
