Largest Indonesian Companies in Terms of Market Capitalization
In recent years, Astra International, one of Indonesia's largest diversified conglomerates, dominated the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in terms of market capitalization. However, it increasingly felt the competition of HM Sampoerna, Indonesia's largest tobacco company. Over the last five years, HM Sampoerna's market capitalization grew by a staggering 746.2 percent. It is also interesting to note that a handful of Indonesian companies account for over one-third of market capitalization of Indonesia's stock exchange.
