Banking is a key pillar of the financial system, playing a crucial role as an intermediary between those with excess funds and those in need of financing. In the context of post-pandemic economic recovery in the 2022–2024 period, bank sustainability and resilience, particularly in terms of profit-generating ability, are crucial aspects to consider. This study was conducted to analyze the extent to which capital structure and intermediation efficiency influence the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Capital structure in this study is proxied by the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), while intermediation efficiency is measured by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The profitability indicator used is Return on Assets (ROA), which reflects a bank's effectiveness in utilizing its assets to generate profits. This research methodology uses a quantitative approach through multiple linear regression analysis with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports from 111 banks for the 2022–2024 period. The analysis results show that simultaneously, CAR and LDR variables have a significant effect on ROA. Furthermore, both variables have been shown to contribute positively to increasing bank profitability. In other words, maintaining adequate capital and efficient credit management can strengthen overall financial performance. This finding offers strategic implications for bank management in formulating capital and liquidity management policies. Optimizing these two aspects not only impacts short-term profit achievement but also contributes to the stability and sustainability of banking profitability in the long term. Therefore, banks need to ensure a strong capital strategy coupled with efficient intermediation to be more resilient in facing future economic dynamics.

This study the analyze the influence of financial performance as a predictor of stock price in the property and real estate sector listed on the IDX for the 2020-2024 period, using a sample consists of 12 property companies. The financial performance variables used in this study include ROE, EPS, CR, and TATO. The result of show that simultaneously,all four variables have a significant  effect on stock prices. Partially, only ROE, EPS, and TATO have a significant impact, while CR has no significant effect. The analysis methods include descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and F Satatistical tests. The findings confirm that profitability, particularly (ROE and EPS) and asset efficiency (TATO), are the factors consideres  by investors when evaluating stocks in the property sector.  The analysis methods used in this study include descriptive statistics to summarize the data, classical assumption tests to ensure the validity of the regression model, multiple linear regression to examine the relationship between the financial performance variables and stock prices, and F-statistical tests to evaluate the overall significance of the model. The findings suggest that profitability, particularly ROE and EPS, and asset efficiency, represented by TATO, are the key factors considered by investors when evaluating stocks in the property sector.These results imply that investors in the property and real estate sector prioritize financial performance metrics that reflect the company's ability to generate returns and utilize its assets effectively. Specifically, ROE and EPS serve as crucial indicators of profitability and are closely monitored by market participants. On the other hand, CR, which measures the company's short-term liquidity, does not appear to have the same level of influence on stock prices.  

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, firm growth, capital structure, and firm size on firm value in the infrastructure sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2024. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from company financial statements. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling. The results show that profitability and firm size have a negative and significant effect on firm value. These findings indicate that increases in profitability and company scale do not automatically enhance market perceptions of firm value, possibly due to a misalignment between internal performance and investor expectations. Meanwhile, firm growth and capital structure do not have a significant effect on firm value. This suggests that the market does not yet regard growth or debt ratios as determining factors in evaluating companies in this sector. Furthermore, the results of this study highlight the importance of corporate management in managing internal factors that can influence market perceptions. Although profitability and company size negatively impact company value, this opens up opportunities for companies to focus more on communication strategies and information transparency with investors to mitigate investor expectations. Companies also need to revise their growth and capital structure policies to better align with market needs and the dynamics of the developing infrastructure sector. Furthermore, this study provides an important contribution to policymakers and financial practitioners in understanding the unique characteristics of the infrastructure sector in Indonesia. The insignificant influence of growth and capital structure suggests that external factors such as market conditions and regulations may be more dominant in determining company value in this sector. Therefore, further research could broaden its scope by incorporating macroeconomic variables or environmental and social aspects, which are currently of concern to investors in making investment decisions.

This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage measured by Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and activity ratio measured by Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on profitability measured by Return On Assets (ROA) at PT ABC Indonesia Tbk for the 2015–2024 period. The analysis is carried out both partially and simultaneously to provide an overview of the factors that affect the company's profitability. The type of research used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements, in the form of balance sheet and income statements. Data analysis methods include t-test, f-test, and determination coefficient (R²). The results of the study show that partially, the Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) does not have a significant effect on the Return On Assets (ROA). This indicates that the company's leverage level, in the form of a comparison of total debt to total assets, did not directly contribute to the level of profitability during the study period. Similarly, Total Asset Turnover (TATO) is also partially unaffected by ROA. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of a company in utilizing total assets to generate sales has not fully affected profitability. However, the results of the simultaneous test (F test) showed that DAR and TATO together had a significant effect on ROA. A determination coefficient value (R²) of 0.6037 or 60.37% indicates that the variation in the company's profitability can be explained by these two independent variables. Meanwhile, the remaining 39.63% was influenced by other factors outside the research model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, marketing strategy, and external conditions of the retail industry. Thus, this study confirms the importance of comprehensively considering leverage and asset activity in managing a company's profitability, although the partial influence of each variable has not shown strong significance.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of PT ABC Tbk during the period 2019–2023 using the Du Pont System as the primary analytical tool. The Du Pont System is widely recognized as a comprehensive method to evaluate a company’s overall performance by breaking down profitability into several key components: net profit margin, total asset turnover, return on investment (ROI), equity multiplier, and return on equity (ROE). The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, with data sourced from secondary materials in the form of official financial statements published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). A purposive sampling technique was applied to ensure the relevance and accuracy of the data analyzed. The findings reveal that the company’s financial performance throughout the five-year observation period has been less than optimal. Each of the main components of the Du Pont System showed average ratios that fell below the industry benchmark, indicating structural weaknesses in both profitability and efficiency. Specifically, the net profit margin and total asset turnover were constrained by high operational costs, while ROI and ROE were further pressured by volatility in foreign exchange rates. These inefficiencies highlight the vulnerability of the company’s financial structure to both internal management challenges and external macroeconomic factors. Based on the results, the study provides several strategic recommendations to improve financial performance. First, optimization of cost management is necessary to reduce operational inefficiencies that directly affect profit margins. Second, the implementation of foreign exchange risk mitigation strategies, such as hedging, is suggested to minimize the negative impacts of currency fluctuations. Finally, to strengthen revenue growth, the company is encouraged to adopt and expand digital marketing initiatives as a means of improving sales performance and market penetration. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of integrating financial control with strategic innovation to ensure long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry.

Tax avoidance is a form of tax planning, which refers to the implementation of tax reduction strategies by companies through legal means due to imperfections in tax legislation. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of transfer pricing and thin capitalization on tax avoidance with profitability as a moderating variable. The research was conducted on all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 127 companies, with a total of 508 observations across four (4) periods. Data collection was carried out using a non-participant observation method by accessing financial statements from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the SPSS application. The results show that profitability moderates by weakening the relationship between transfer pricing and tax avoidance. However, profitability does not moderate the effect of thin capitalization on tax avoidance.

This study aims to evaluate the financial condition of four private banks, namely Bank Mega, Bank JTrust, Bank Danamon, and Bank Panin listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2015 to 2024. The analysis uses the Risk-Based Bank Rating (RBBR) approach with a quantitative method, where the data source is derived from published annual financial statements. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling with the criteria of financial statements available for the last 10 years and the fluctuations in profits in the last three years. The bank's health assessment is carried out through four main aspects. First, the risk profile is measured using non-performing loan (NPL) ratios and liquidity levels through the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Second, Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is evaluated based on regulatory compliance and transparency reporting. Third, profitability which includes the return on asset ratio (ROA) and net interest margin (Net Interest Margin / NIM). Fourth, the capital aspect is analyzed through the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). The results of the study show that in general, the four banks are in a healthy condition, especially in terms of capital and governance, which reflects the bank's ability to meet the minimum capital requirements and maintain management practices in accordance with banking industry standards. However, significant differences were found in the risk and profitability aspects. Banks that have less than optimal risk management tend to experience an increase in NPLs, while banks that are more efficient in managing operational costs are able to maintain ROA and NIM at a more stable level. In addition, external factors such as global economic conditions, monetary policy, interest rates, and interbank competition also affect financial performance.

The concept of company value is critical for investors as it reflects the potential growth, profitability, and long-term sustainability of a business. Company value is a critical factor that guides investment decisions, as it embodies both tangible and intangible factors that contribute to the firm’s success. The factors that influence company value include Good Corporate Governance (GCG), which refers to the practices that ensure a company’s management is held accountable, transparent, and efficient. It also includes profitability metrics, such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), which indicate how well a company is performing in generating profits from its assets and equity. This study aimed to analyze how GCG and profitability influence company value, specifically in the infrastructure sector of Indonesia, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). By using multiple linear regression analysis with data collected from 8 companies between 2020 and 2024, the research uncovered some insightful findings. It was found that the presence of Independent Commissioners, as part of GCG, had a positive and significant effect on company value. This highlights the importance of having independent oversight to ensure that the company operates in the best interests of its shareholders. In contrast, Institutional Ownership had no significant impact on company value, which might suggest that larger institutional investors do not always influence the company’s strategic direction in a way that directly affects value. Additionally, profitability, as measured by ROA and ROE, had significant effects on company value. ROA negatively influenced company value, which may indicate that companies with higher assets do not always perform better in terms of profitability, possibly due to inefficiencies. However, ROE had a positive influence on company value, suggesting that companies that efficiently use equity to generate profits are viewed more favorably by investors.  

This study aims to predict the potential bankruptcy of PT Argo Pantes Tbk for the period 2014–2024 using the Zmijewski X-Score model. The research adopts a quantitative method based on secondary data obtained from the company’s published annual financial statements. The Zmijewski model was selected because of its effectiveness in assessing companies with unstable financial conditions and its ability to provide a more accurate reflection of financial distress compared to other models. The analysis process involved calculating the X-Score for each year within the observation period and interpreting the results according to the criteria of the model. The findings indicate that for the entire study period, the calculated X value was consistently greater than or equal to zero. This outcome signifies that the company is in a condition classified as potentially bankrupt. Furthermore, the model demonstrated 100% accuracy in describing the company’s actual financial situation, since PT Argo Pantes Tbk consistently recorded net losses throughout the period of analysis. These losses were not incidental but reflected a long-term pattern of weak financial performance, limited profitability, and declining competitiveness in the textile industry. The results highlight that PT Argo Pantes Tbk has been operating under severe financial distress for a prolonged period, with no indication of recovery during the years observed. The persistent losses and negative financial indicators reinforce the conclusion that the company is in an unhealthy condition. The study confirms the applicability and reliability of the Zmijewski X-Score as a bankruptcy prediction tool in the Indonesian context, particularly for firms experiencing prolonged instability. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into financial distress analysis and underscores the importance of early bankruptcy prediction models in supporting stakeholders, investors, and regulators in making informed decisions.

The Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) changes in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2019 and 2023, which reflect shifts in dividend policy, are what spurred this study.  Dividend policy is important since it helps to win over investors.  Nonetheless, management frequently has to decide whether to pay dividends or keep profits for investments.  Finding out how management ownership, profitability, leverage, and business size affect dividend policy in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is the aim of this study. This study is classified as a quantitative causality study.  50 food and beverage firms made up the sample, which was selected using a purposive sampling technique.  The SPSS version 25 multiple linear regression software was used to examine these data.  This study demonstrates that the dividend policy of companies in the food and beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is influenced, in part, by management ownership, profitability, leverage, and company size.  Conversely, the dividend policy of companies in the food and beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is influenced by management ownership, profitability, leverage, and company size.

The study utilized both primary and secondary data sources to gather comprehensive information. Primary data was collected through interviews with the entrepreneurs, while secondary data was obtained from relevant records and reports. To achieve the research objectives, an income analysis method was applied to evaluate the income levels of the banana chips businesses. The findings revealed that the average monthly income from the banana chips businesses in Unaaha City was Rp 11,084,532, with a typical entrepreneur earning approximately Rp 5,542,266 per month. In comparison, the average total income was Rp 10,262,500 per month, and the average total costs amounted to Rp 4,720,234 per month. This income analysis provides insight into the economic viability of banana chips businesses operated by female entrepreneurs in Unaaha City, indicating that these businesses can generate substantial income despite challenges. The study highlights the role of female entrepreneurs in contributing to the local economy and provides valuable information for future business development strategies. Furthermore, it suggests that with proper support, such as access to training and capital, female entrepreneurs in the region can improve their business sustainability and profitability. This research could serve as a reference for similar studies and could help policymakers design programs that support small-scale female entrepreneurs in the region.

Sharia financing is a key instrument that Islamic banks must promote in channeling third-party funds. This aligns with the basic principles of Islamic banking, which emphasize fairness, partnership, and business sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to examine how various Islamic financing schemes impact Islamic bank profitability. This study focuses on Bank Mega Syariah, using secondary data sourced from quarterly financial reports for the period 2017 to 2024. The financing variables analyzed include musyarakah, mudharabah, murabahah, and ijarah, while profitability is measured using relevant financial performance indicators. The analysis method used is a quantitative approach using regression techniques to examine the effect of each type of financing on bank profitability. The results show that musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah-based financing have a positive and significant impact on profitability, meaning that the higher the distribution of these three types of financing, the greater their contribution to increasing bank profits. These findings indicate that the business partnership model, profit-sharing system, and profit margin stipulated in the murabahah contract significantly contribute to maintaining profit growth. Conversely, ijarah financing did not significantly impact profitability. This may be due to the characteristics of ijarah, which tends to be oriented towards fixed assets or leases, resulting in a relatively limited contribution to increasing short-term profits. Overall, this study provides important implications for Islamic bank management to further optimize the proportion of musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah financing as a strategy to boost financial performance and maintain business continuity amidst the competitive Islamic banking industry.

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity and credit risk on the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2018–2022. Profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity is proxied by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), while credit risk is measured using the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio. The research employs a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to test the partial and simultaneous influence of the independent variables on profitability. Data were obtained from the annual financial reports of banks published on the IDX, covering a five-year observation period. The results of the analysis show that credit risk, as measured by NPL, has a significant negative effect on bank profitability. This finding reflects that the higher the NPL ratio, the lower the bank’s ability to generate returns on assets, emphasizing the importance of effective credit quality management. In contrast, the liquidity level measured by LDR demonstrates a positive but statistically insignificant effect on ROA. This suggests that although liquidity plays a role in supporting banking operations, its direct impact on profitability is relatively weak when considered independently. However, when examined simultaneously, both credit risk and liquidity significantly affect bank profitability. These findings imply that effective credit risk management is a crucial determinant of financial performance in the banking sector. High levels of non-performing loans can erode bank profits, while optimal liquidity management supports operational efficiency, even if its impact is not strongly significant in isolation. From a managerial perspective, banks need to strengthen monitoring of loan quality, implement more prudent credit policies, and adopt sustainable liquidity strategies to enhance profitability. For regulators, the results highlight the importance of supervising asset quality and ensuring adequate liquidity management in the banking system. This study contributes to the literature on banking performance by providing empirical evidence on the interaction between credit risk, liquidity, and profitability in the Indonesian banking sector.

This study aims to examine the influence of price, promotion, and product quality on the repurchase intention of Kopi Kenangan products among students of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Mulawarman University. The research focuses on how effective marketing strategies can foster customer loyalty toward local coffee brands. The theoretical framework is based on the marketing mix, consumer decision-making processes, and indicators of customer loyalty. The study employs a quantitative research method, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents. The respondents were selected using purposive sampling, based on specific criteria determined by the researcher to ensure they could provide relevant information aligned with the research objectives. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The findings indicate that price, promotion, and product quality each have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention. Among these factors, product quality exerts the strongest influence, followed by promotion, and finally, price. These results suggest that enhancing product quality, implementing effective promotional strategies, and maintaining reasonable pricing can significantly increase customers’ likelihood of making repeat purchases. Based on the results, this study recommends that Kopi Kenangan continue to prioritize maintaining high and consistent product quality, as it plays a crucial role in shaping repurchase intentions. Additionally, promotional efforts should be continuously optimized to attract and retain customers in an increasingly competitive coffee market. Pricing strategies should also be monitored to remain competitive while ensuring profitability. Overall, the study concludes that product quality, supported by strategic promotions and competitive pricing, is essential for building and sustaining customer loyalty. By focusing on these factors, Kopi Kenangan can strengthen its market position and foster long-term relationships with its customers

This study examines the phenomenon of the religious jargon “Go Berkah No Riba” (Go Blessed, No Interest) as a digital marketing communication strategy employed by entrepreneurs on social media, particularly Facebook. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and visual discourse analysis, this research seeks to understand how the jargon is interpreted, constructed, and widely disseminated in the context of product marketing and business opportunities. The findings indicate that “Go Berkah No Riba” functions not only as a marker of religious identity but also as a rhetorical device that combines spiritual values with aspirations for material success. Visual analysis of promotional materials, such as flyers and Facebook posts, reveals the use of hyperbolic language, symbolic imagery—such as the Kaaba and piles of money—and religious narratives designed to build credibility and persuade potential consumers. The integration of religious elements with economic appeal creates a sharia-compliant business image that simultaneously promises profitability. However, the study also uncovers ambiguity in the use of this jargon. On the one hand, it can strengthen the image of a business operating ethically according to Islamic principles. On the other hand, it risks being exploited merely as a marketing gimmick without a strong foundation in ethical business practices. This creates the potential for a gap between the religious message communicated and the actual business conduct. The findings underscore the importance of critical literacy in understanding religious communication strategies within the digital business sphere. Consistency between religious messaging and real-world business practices is crucial for maintaining consumer trust and avoiding the excessive commodification of religious values. Therefore, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of religion-based marketing communication in the era of digital transformation.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current asset management, specifically cash, receivables, and inventory, and its impact on a company's ability to generate profits. The study focused on companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023. The research approach used a quantitative method with secondary data sourced from annual financial reports. The study sample included 11 companies, resulting in a total of 44 observational data sets over four years. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software to examine the relationships and influences between the study variables. The test results showed that cash management did not significantly influence profitability. This indicates that the amount of available cash does not always correlate with profit, possibly because cash funds are not optimally utilized in productive activities. Conversely, receivables management showed a negative correlation with profitability. This finding suggests that high receivables can burden cash flow and reduce a company's ability to generate profits. Meanwhile, inventory management has a positive and significant impact on profitability, indicating that good inventory control can support smooth production and sales, thereby increasing profits. Together, these three variables explained 68.4% of the variation in company profitability, while the remaining 31.6% was influenced by factors outside the model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, and marketing strategy. These findings provide insights for automotive company management to prioritize inventory management and review cash and receivables policies to optimize financial performance.

This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of fundamental factors represented by the current ratio, return on equity, and debt-to-equity ratio, as well as trading volume and market value added variables on the stock prices of industrial sector companies listed on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) during the 2020–2024 period. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from published financial reports and stock market data. The study population includes all industrial sector companies listed on the ISSI, while the sampling technique used is purposive sampling with certain criteria, resulting in 12 companies as research samples with an observation period of five years. The data analysis method used is panel data regression with the help of Eviews 13 software. The results show that partially the current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and trading volume have a significant effect on stock prices, indicating that the level of liquidity, capital structure, and trading activity play an important role in determining stock value in the market. Conversely, return on equity and market value added do not have a significant effect on stock prices, indicating that equity-based profitability and market value added are not always the main considerations for investors in this sector. Simultaneously, the current ratio, return on equity, debt to equity ratio, trading volume, and market value added have a significant effect on stock prices, which means that a combination of fundamental factors, market activity, and investor assessments can collectively influence stock price movements of industrial sector companies in the ISSI.  

This study aims to analyze and examine the influence of company size, profitability, and liquidity on going-concern audit opinions in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Going-concern audit opinions are important indicators provided by auditors to assess the company's future business continuity. Factors such as company size, profitability, and liquidity are often associated with the auditor's likelihood of issuing such an opinion. The research method used is a quantitative method with an associative approach. The types and sources of data used in this study are secondary data in the form of annual financial reports of companies listed on the IDX during the 2019–2023 period. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method, namely determining samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research objectives. From this process, 375 observational data samples were obtained. Data processing and analysis were carried out using IBM SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) version 27 software, which allows for accurate and measurable statistical testing. The results of the study indicate that company size does not affect going-concern audit opinions, so the size of the company's assets is not a determining factor for auditors in issuing such an opinion. Meanwhile, profitability was shown to have a significant influence on going-concern audit opinions, with companies with higher profitability tending to receive unmodified going-concern audit opinions. Conversely, liquidity had no effect on going-concern audit opinions, indicating that the ability to meet short-term obligations is not always a primary consideration for auditors. These findings are expected to contribute to company management, auditors, and investors' understanding of the factors influencing going-concern audit opinions.  

This study aims to examine the effect of financial technology, fee-based income, and BOPO on the profitability of Islamic banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. The research is motivated by the rapid development of digital financial services and the importance of operational efficiency in enhancing the financial performance of Islamic banks. This research employs a quantitative approach with purposive sampling. The data were obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id) and the annual financial reports of Islamic banking institutions. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results show that, partially, financial technology and fee-based income do not have a significant effect on profitability, while BOPO has a negative and significant effect. However, simultaneously, all three variables have a significant effect on profitability. Future studies are expected to include additional relevant variables and extend the observation period

This study aims to compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks operating in Jambi Province during the 2021–2023 period. The approach used is comparative quantitative, with descriptive analysis and independent sample t-tests. Five key financial ratios were analyzed in this study: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Data were obtained from the quarterly financial reports of each sample bank, thus reflecting actual financial performance on a periodic and ongoing basis. The analysis shows significant differences in three key financial ratios: ROA, ROE, and BOPO. Conventional banks demonstrate higher levels of profitability and operational efficiency than Islamic banks. High ROA and ROE values reflect the effectiveness of conventional banks in generating profits from their assets and capital. Furthermore, lower BOPO ratios in conventional banks indicate a better ability to control operating costs. In contrast, no significant differences were found in the NIM and LDR ratios, indicating equality between the two types of banks in generating interest margins and disbursing credit or financing to customers. This finding has important implications for the development of the Islamic banking sector to be more competitive, particularly in terms of efficiency and profitability. Islamic banks are expected to improve their asset and operational management strategies to increase competitiveness amidst the dual banking system in Indonesia. This research also contributes to regulators in formulating policies that support the growth of Islamic banks in the regions. For academics and practitioners, this study broadens understanding of the dynamics of local banking financial performance and serves as a reference for further research on the effectiveness of the dual banking system in the regional context.
