PT Bumi Resources, Asia's biggest exporter of power-station coal, said it will buy a controlling
stake in PT Pendopo Energi Batubara, the Indonesian company's third acquisition in a week. Bumi will pay 1.3 trillion rupiah ($119 million) for an 84 percent interest in the coal mining company and plans to complete the purchase in two years, the Jakarta-based fuel exporter said
in a statement to the Indonesia Stock Exchange today.
The stock price of Bumi Resources fell down and led to auto rejection due to the negative sentiment among the investors concerning with the acquisition of two companies in the past week.
Bumi indirectly acquired 44 percent of PT Darma Henwa Tbk (Dewa) shares worth IDR2.41 trillion and 75.74 percent of PT Fajar Bumi Sakti shares worth IDR2.48 trilion.
