Bank Central Asia (ISIN ID1000109507) was trading at EUR 0.26 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:38 a.m. CEST. The bank began a three-day share repurchase program on October 19, while JPMorgan maintained a Hold rating and cut its target from IDR 6,000 to IDR 5,900 on the same date, according to Investing.com.

Buyback runs through October 21

MarketScreener reported that Bank Central Asia was implementing the repurchase from October 19 through October 21, 2026, under a program approved at the annual meeting on March 12, 2026. The broader authorization covers the period from March 12, 2026, to March 11, 2027, unless ended earlier.

That action follows earlier buyback activity in April and June 2026. The company said the current implementation would not materially affect its financial performance or business activities, keeping the market question centered on lending growth and asset quality.

What does loan growth mean for margins?

Loan expansion remains the stronger operating figure. In its release dated October 14, 2026, BCA said total loans grew 10.5 percent year over year to IDR 1,017 trillion as of August 2026. Small and medium enterprise financing rose 6.9 percent to IDR 134 trillion as of July 2026, while the non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.8 percent in August.

Separate coverage by TrenAsia put bank-only net income through August at IDR 40.17 trillion, up 2.85 percent year over year. Net interest income rose 1.33 percent to IDR 53.82 trillion, while interest expense increased 9.4 percent, showing why loan growth alone does not settle the margin outlook.

Three dated operating markers

On July 28, 2026, Bank Central Asia reported half-year figures with revenue of IDR 28.09 trillion and earnings per share of IDR 120.47, according to Investing.com. On October 14, 2026, BCA disclosed 10.5 percent loan growth to IDR 1,017 trillion. On October 19, 2026, the bank started the October buyback window.

Next date for shareholders

The current repurchase window is scheduled to end on October 21, 2026, according to MarketScreener.

Euro quote stays at EUR 0.26

The market picture combines a new buyback window with double-digit loan growth and slower earnings expansion. For investors, the key balance is between credit growth, funding costs and asset quality.

Bank Central Asia was trading at EUR 0.26 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:38 a.m. CEST. The primary listing is on the Jakarta Stock Exchange, where the stock was last quoted at IDR 5,150 on October 20, 2026.
