August 2024 (version 1.8.0)
August brings another month of much-awaited features along with a slew of revamped designs drawn from insights from usage patterns and your direct feedback to us. The three new features we're particularly excited about are: Sectors AI Search 🪄, Filings and News, and Indonesia Companies by Ranking.
As always, if you have any feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us or any of the key developers on our Discord server.
Highlights
Sectors AI Search 🪄
Sectors is the best way to search for any company listed on the IDX stock exchange. Since day one, it boasts rich support for "type-as-you-search" auto-suggestions, and supoort searching by stock symbol (e.g, BBCA
, ASII.JK
), company name search, and even part-of-name search (mandiri
returns all companies with mandiri
in their name). It's also blazing fast :lightning: too, with queries returning within 80 milliseconds.
That's 0.08 seconds ⚡
You can try it at IDX Company Search | Sectors
Now, thanks to the effort of @projectwilsen, @rafiksept, and with support from @AurelliaChristie, @Gulilil, @onlyphantom, and @vccalvin33, Sectors search is supercharged with our proprietary AI search technology. It's also directly baked into the existing search bar, so you can now search for companies by their ticker symbols, part-of-name, or through natural language -- all from the comfort of a unified and seamless search bar! Log into Sectors with a Standard account or higher and start your queries. All of the following questions return a valid set of results:
- Top 5 companies in oil gas and mining by profitability?
- Largest banks in indonesia by market cap
- The top 3 fastest growing companies in Infrastructures sector
- Top 6 company by dividend yield
- Top 10 most traded stocks this month
- Most traded stocks on the 3rd of July this year
- Companies most similar to BMRI
- Companies in the Food and Beverage subsector
Existing Language Models like GPT-4 and Claude etc are inappropriate tools for queries like the above due to its lack of an actual knowledge store (it's just a language model, after all) and general tendencies to hallucinate. Sectors AI Search however is purpose-built to make trips to our data stores, so your queries are answered with real, live data.
Filings and News 📰
We set out to create Sectors as the best possible investment research tool for ourselves, and continually look for ways to make the platform as information-rich as we can. This month, we (@KenEzekiel, @jigsawinthecity) are proud to announce that key company filings (e.g. large insider transactions) are directly incorporated into the stock report pages, with AI-generated summaries and tagging classification helping with discoverability of important filings and time-sensitive news.
As with other features, this is an ongoing effort and we're committed to refining it over the next few weeks. Expect to see a series of improvements to Filings and News -- both in terms of the quality of our AI summaries, and in its overall presentation -- as we gather user feedback and evaluate usage patterns.
Indonesia Companies By Ranking 🥇
Last month, @onlyphantom brought you a Ranking view for companies listed on the KLSE (Kuala Lumpur stock exchange) and SGX (Singapore stock exchange). These new pages are updated and refreshed daily, showing you a list of companies ranked by a desired metric: market cap, revenue, profitability, dividend yield, p/e ratio, and others.
Here are two examples:
With the August update, @nisa-basalamah, @aidityasadhakim, and @onlyphantom took the idea to full parity with these features and pages also now extend to companies listed on the IDX, giving you even richer tools to explore Indonesia's financial markets and discover investment opportunities.
Improvements
In addition to the 3 features above, we've packed in lots of improvements into this month's update. Here's a summary:
- Introduction of a global site-wide menu (@onlyphantom) that is navigable by keyboard, reinforcing content discoverability and accessibility as a key objective
- A revamped index page ('/') that see some features being moved out, increasing loading speed on first request (uncached) and giving important data points a bigger focus (@onlyphantom)
- Added a news section on the index page ('/') (@KenEzekiel)
- Colors and accessibility improvements (@onlyphantom)
- An Indonesia /indeks page containing a snapshot of sector-level performance and index-level performance (@nisa-basalamah, @onlyphantom)

- New API endpoints being added to the Sectors API Platform, and new sections such as
technical_rating_breakdown
andanalyst_rating_breakdown
