Abstract
Investing purpose is profit, even though stock investment is risky and there is uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic caused macroeconomic uncertainty. The quarantines and social restrictions impacted decreasing demand and falling Brent oil prices by approximately -78%, collapsing the price of oil and gas companies' stocks; for example, MEDC declined circa -69%, and ELSA -63%. Foreign investors sold off their stocks. So, it is interesting to analyze the correlation between Brent oil prices, the buying value of foreign investors, and the stock prices of oil and gas companies. It utilized linear regression using the IBM SPSS Amos program. The result shows that Brent crude oil prices and the buying value of foreign investors account for 44.9% of stock price variations positively and significantly. There is no significant correlation between Brent crude oil prices and the buying value of foreign investors.
