EIDO: Indonesia Like Pakistan In 2008, With A Delisting Risk That Can't Be Ignored
The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF faces, in my opinion, significant risk from MSCI's potential downgrade of Indonesia to standalone market status, triggering capital flight and rupiah weakness. The ETF is heavily concentrated in Indonesian banks, which, despite attractive valuations (forward P/E 8.5x, ROE 18.5–22%), are highly sensitive to market shocks. Two scenarios emerge according to my calculations: a negative outcome could drive P/E to 7x and further rupiah depreciation, while a positive reversal could restore double-digit returns.
EIDO Crashes On MSCI Index Reclassification News, 'Buy' The Indonesia Washout (Upgrade)
I am upgrading iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF to a "Buy" after a 15% crash driven by MSCI index exclusion fears. EIDO trades at a depressed valuation near 6x earnings and a PEG ratio close to 1x, with risk/reward skewed positively. Bank-heavy portfolio, high volatility, and recent dividend cut highlight risk, but technicals suggest a powerful rebound is possible.
Taiwan and Korea lose $29 billion in July: is money rotating away from AI?
Foreign investors continued pulling money from Asian equities in July, but the headline outflow masks a striking shift underneath: capital moved away from the region's biggest AI winners while selectively returning to markets with less dependence on the semiconductor boom. Investors sold a net $25.48 billion of shares across seven major Asian markets during the month, extending the region's foreign-selling streak to nine months.
EIDO: Indonesia Not Benefiting From Commodity Price Gains
I hold a neutral stance on the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF, citing low valuation but persistent weak price action and a technical downtrend. EIDO trades at a bargain 8.7x P/E, but its 44% financials weighting and low 5.9% long-term EPS growth limit upside. Seasonality favors EIDO in July and August, yet resistance near $17 and heavy volume overhead constrain rally potential.

EIDO: Hasn't Been Flourishing, But There's Potential For A Change
The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF has only gained 2% this year and has grossly underperformed global and EM peers. Indonesian banks, comprising over 40% of EIDO, have faced sluggish loan growth, although stable NIMs in a dovish monetary setting reflect well. Recent government stimulus to the tune of $1B could lift Q4 GDP and 2026 prospects, while further rate cuts are expected from this month through Q1-26.
Indonesia Offers Value, But EIDO May Not Be The Best Vehicle
Indonesian equities appear attractively valued after a decade of underperformance in USD terms. The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO) offers convenient access but is highly concentrated and holds several richly valued or unprofitable names. Top holdings show a mix of strong historical growth and low P/E ratios, but the ETF includes triple-digit P/E and cash-burning companies.

EIDO: This Indonesian ETF Is A Very Poor Choice For Long-Term Oriented Investors
EIDO provides easy access to Indonesian equities, but is a poor proxy for the broader economy and its growth potential. The ETF is heavily concentrated in a few big names in slow-growth sectors, limiting upside and increasing risk. While Indonesia's economy has strengths, EIDO's sector composition doesn't capture the country's most dynamic opportunities.
EIDO: Indonesia Poised To Bounce Back
Southeast Asian markets, particularly Indonesia, have struggled, but EIDO is a "BUY" due to a weakening dollar, falling valuations, and potential growth bottoming. EIDO's expense ratio is lower than IDX, and it offers a purer play on Indonesian equities, with financials making up nearly half its holdings. Global trade tensions and a declining US dollar could benefit emerging markets like Indonesia, making it well-placed for short- to medium-term gains.
