Profit growth serves as a primary benchmark for evaluating financial standing, particularly within the healthcare industry which demands elevated levels of efficiency and superior financial stewardship. As healthcare companies face increasingly competitive environments and high operational costs, the ability to generate sustainable profits becomes a critical determinant of long-term viability. This study aims to examine the impact of Return on Equity (ROE) and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on the profit growth of healthcare companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The research employed a quantitative approach using secondary data, with a sample of 10 companies selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, supported by classical assumption testing, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results revealed that ROE had a positive and partially significant effect on profit growth, while TATO showed a positive but not significant influence. However, when tested simultaneously, both variables demonstrated a significant relationship, with the model explaining 23.9% of the variance in profit growth. These findings suggest that profitability ratios, particularly ROE, play a more decisive role in determining financial performance in healthcare companies compared to activity ratios. The study highlights the importance for healthcare firms to optimize equity utilization in order to enhance sustainable profit growth and shareholder value.

This study aims to analyze the profitability and operational efficiency of Sube Huter credit union. Profitability is measured by the Net Profit Margin (NPM) ratio, while operational efficiency is measured using the Operating Cost to Operating Income ratio and several other indicators related to operational costs. The data utilized in this research consist of secondary data from Sube Huter's credit union financial reports for the period 2020 to 2024. The analysis was conducted employing the financial ratio method to assess the cooperative's profitability and operational efficiency. The results indicate that the cooperative's profitability falls into the unhealthy category with a consistent NPM of 2%, while operational efficiency is categorized as less healthy with a Operating Costs to Operating Income value approaching 97-98%. The primary cause of low efficiency is high operational costs, particularly employee salary expenses that are not commensurate with revenue. However, the indicator of operating costs to total receivables still demonstrates healthy performance. This study recommends the implementation of more effective cost management, financial product development, and increased transaction volume to enhance the cooperative's profitability and operational efficiency.

The Regional Drinking Water Company (Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum/PDAM) Lae Nciho, Dairi Regency, faces significant challenges related to the low level of financial literacy and financial behavior of its human resources, which negatively affect financial performance, particularly the Return on Equity (ROE) indicator. A lack of understanding and discipline in internal financial management has led to waste and operational inefficiency. This phenomenon highlights the importance of improving financial literacy and financial behavior as a strategic effort to enhance the company’s efficiency and profitability. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the influence of human resources’ financial behavior and operational efficiency on financial performance, with financial literacy serving as a moderating variable. This research applies a quantitative descriptive approach, using data analysis with the SEM PLS 3.0 method. The study involved a total population and sample of 70 employees of the Regional Drinking Water Company (Perumda Air Minum) Lae Nciho in Dairi Regency, particularly those working in finance and operations divisions, selected through purposive sampling techniques. The findings reveal that, partially, the variables of human resources’ financial behavior and operational efficiency significantly influence financial performance and affect financial literacy. Moreover, financial literacy significantly influences financial performance. However, simultaneously, financial behavior and operational efficiency do not significantly affect financial performance when moderated by financial literacy.

The research aim was to examine the regional financial performance of the Local Government of Sikka Regency. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method. The population of this study consisted of Budget Realization Reports (APBD) of the Local Government of Sikka Regency, with the sample covering five fiscal years from 2019 to 2023. Data were collected through documentation. The financial performance of the Local Government of Sikka Regency, as measured by the independence ratio, was categorized as very low with an instructive relationship pattern, where the role of the central government was more dominant than the independence of the local government. The effectiveness of the regional financial performance of Sikka Regency in 2019 – 2023 had an average of 85,90%, which fell into the less effective category. The allocation of funds in Sikka Regency was still unbalanced, as most of the APBD was allocated to operational expenditures with an average of 68,48%, while capital expenditures accounted for only an average of 13,4%. The revenue growth of the Sikka Regency Government from 2019 to 2023 tended to fluctuate, which occurred due to the suboptimal revenue received by the local government

This study aims to analyze the influence of Gross Profit Margin (GPM) and Inventory Turnover Ratio (ITR) on profit growth at PT Gudang Garam Tbk during the period 2014–2024. The research employs a quantitative method with a descriptive approach and utilizes multiple linear regression analysis. Data were gathered from financial report documentation and a literature study. The F-test results indicate that GPM and ITR, when considered together, have no significant effect on profit growth, with an F-statistic value of 1.065, which is lower than the F-table value of 5.318, and a significance value of 0.389 > 0.05. Furthermore, the t-test results reveal that GPM (t-statistic 1.122; p = 0.295) and ITR (t-statistic 0.160; p = 0.877) do not have a significant partial effect on profit growth, as the significance values of both variables are higher than 0.05. The findings suggest that GPM and ITR are not the primary factors influencing the company's profit growth. Therefore, it is recommended that external factors such as market conditions, industry trends, and economic variables should be considered more carefully in managerial decision-making. This study contributes to the understanding of financial performance analysis, providing insights for both academics and practitioners in the field of corporate finance.

This research aimed to examine the effect of environmental accounting disclosure and good corporate governance mechanisms on the financial performance of basic industry and chemical manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2021-2023. This research used a quantitative causal approach with multiple linear regression data analysis to examine the relationship between environmental accounting disclosure and good corporate governance mechanisms (managerial ownership, institutional ownership, independent board of commissioners, and audit committee) on financial performance. The research data was obtained from secondary data in the form of financial reports and annual reports of the companies included in the sample. The results of this research indicated that, partially, environmental accounting disclosure did not have a significant effect on financial performance. Good corporate governance mechanisms, namely managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and independent boards of commissioners, did not have a significant effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, audit committees did not have a significant effect on financial performance. Simultaneously, environmental accounting disclosure and good corporate governance mechanisms had a significant effect on financial performance.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how the operational budget planning process is applied to the Mebel Serba Usaha (Mebel Serba Usaha) business, which falls into the micro, small, and medium-sized business category. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, collecting data through direct interviews and observing business activities. The obtained data was then examined to determine costs. Furthermore, sales records over the past four years were evaluated for their use. The analysis revealed that Mebel Serba Usaha has never created an operational budget. This situation makes it difficult for the company to manage its finances, which ultimately impacts performance and profitability. The study shows that an operational budget is a crucial tool for more targeted financial management. Operational budget planning helps companies develop long-term business plans and organize and monitor expenses. The results of this study also emphasize that the absence of a budget tends to make companies lack a clear reference point for determining sales targets and controlling production costs. With structured budget planning, companies can more easily identify spending priorities, estimate cash flow, and assess the efficiency of resource use. Furthermore, implementing an operational budget can improve managerial discipline because every financial decision is based on careful planning, not just on immediate needs. Another benefit is increased transparency in fund management, thereby minimizing the risk of waste or misallocation of costs. Therefore, this study provides a practical contribution in the form of recommendations on the importance of implementing an operational budget for micro, small, and medium enterprises, particularly in maintaining sustainability and increasing competitiveness amidst increasingly fierce business competition.This research is expected to be a reference for other MSMEs in developing a more effective and sustainable financial system.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation on profitability, with the Sustainability Report acting as a moderating variable, at PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara, Ngadirejo Sugar Factory, during the 2019–2023 period. Profitability was measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Net Profit Margin (NPM), CSR was assessed through the PROPER rating, and the Sustainability Report was evaluated using a disclosure index based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. The research utilized a quantitative descriptive method and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the relationships between the variables. The findings revealed that CSR had a positive and significant effect on both ROA and NPM. However, the study found that the Sustainability Report did not moderate the relationship between CSR and ROA, indicating that the sustainability disclosures had no significant impact on improving ROA. In contrast, the Sustainability Report was able to moderate the relationship between CSR and NPM, strengthening the influence of CSR on profitability as measured by NPM. This suggests that sustainability reporting plays a critical role in enhancing the positive effects of CSR on financial performance, particularly in terms of profitability indicators such as NPM. The study provides valuable insights for companies aiming to integrate CSR practices and sustainability reporting to achieve improved financial performance and long-term sustainability.

The cosmetic and household goods industry in Indonesia continues to experience growth in line with increasing consumer demand and lifestyle changes. This sector plays an important role in supporting the national economy, but it is also vulnerable to fluctuations in market dynamics, global competition, and external challenges that may affect companies’ financial performance. The performance of these companies can be assessed through financial indicators, particularly profitability and solvency, which are often linked to firm value. This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability and solvency on firm value in the cosmetic and household goods subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023. The research population consists of 11 companies, with 6 companies selected as the sample using purposive sampling techniques based on specific criteria.

The analytical method applied is quantitative with several statistical tests, including classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, and F-test, assisted by SPSS version 22. The research findings indicate that profitability, proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), has a positive and significant partial effect on firm value (t-value 3.132 > t-table 2.04841). Solvency, proxied by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), also shows a positive and significant partial effect on firm value (t-value 5.810 > t-table 2.04841). Moreover, both profitability and solvency simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on firm value (F-value 86.997 > F-table 3.35). These results suggest that maintaining profitability and managing solvency effectively are key strategies for companies in enhancing firm value in a competitive market environment.

The results show that in 2019, 2021, and 2022, the X values were -1.92, -0.29, and -0.25, respectively, indicating that PT Matahari Department Store was not predicted to face potential bankruptcy, as the values were below 0. However, in 2020 and 2023, the X values were 1.51 and 0.85, respectively, suggesting that the company had the potential to go bankrupt, as the results exceeded 0. These findings highlight the financial fluctuations experienced by PT Matahari Department Store during the study period, emphasizing the importance of continuous financial performance evaluation and the use of bankruptcy prediction models as an early warning tool for stakeholders and decision makers.

This study investigates the factors influencing financial distress in plantation sub-sector companies in Indonesia. The data collection method involves a literature study and documentation, while the data analysis techniques encompass classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity), multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing (partial, simultaneous, and coefficient of determination). The findings reveal that leverage, liquidity, and profitability both simultaneously and partially have a positive and significant effect on financial distress. These results offer valuable insights into the factors that affect financial distress in the plantation sub-sector, providing a clearer understanding for investors and company management. This study emphasizes the importance of managing leverage, liquidity, and profitability effectively to avoid financial distress, which could disrupt the operational continuity of companies. Additionally, the study serves as a reference for making informed decisions related to financial stability and strategic planning, assisting in mitigating the risks associated with financial distress. By managing these financial factors, companies can improve their resilience and sustainability in the face of challenges, contributing to long-term business success.

As companies face various financial pressures, the study highlights how proactive financial strategies can help ensure sustained performance and profitability, ultimately supporting their competitive advantage in the industry.

Stock returns represent a crucial parameter that serves as a reference for investors in evaluating company performance. A decline in returns has occurred in several mining companies listed on the IDX, despite the sector’s vital role in the national economy. This study aims to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Firm Size on the stock returns of mining companies listed on the IDX during the 2022–2024 period. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 56 observational data after outliers were removed. To meet the assumptions of classical tests, several variables were transformed using natural logarithms, and data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that CSR, ROE, and Firm Size have no significant effect on stock returns, whereas ROA and DER show a significant positive effect. These findings suggest that investors tend to emphasize financial fundamentals, particularly profitability and capital structure, rather than non-financial aspects such as CSR activities. The implication for companies is the need to enhance operational efficiency and optimize financial structures to attract investors and improve returns. Future researchers are encouraged to incorporate external variables such as global commodity prices, market risk, and macroeconomic indicators, as well as expand the observation period and apply more diverse methodological approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of stock return dynamics in the mining sector.

This research aims to determine the effect of the Current Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Net Profit Margin, and Total Asset Turnover on Return On Assets (ROA) in manufacturing companies within the Industrial Machinery and Heavy Equipment sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2018 – 2024. The study utilized secondary data in the form of annual financial statements from 9 companies in the machinery and heavy equipment sub-sector. These companies were selected using the purposive sampling technique based on specific criteria. The research applied a multiple linear regression model, with data processed using IBM SPSS version 25. The findings show that, partially, the Current Ratio has a positive and significant effect on Return On Assets, indicating that better liquidity management improves asset returns. The Debt to Equity Ratio, however, showed no significant impact on Return On Assets, suggesting that financial leverage does not strongly influence the return generated from assets in these companies. The Net Profit Margin was found to have a positive and significant effect on Return On Assets, meaning that higher profitability directly enhances asset performance. Similarly, Total Asset Turnover has a positive and significant impact on Return On Assets, indicating that efficient asset utilization leads to higher returns. The study highlights key financial indicators for improving asset returns in manufacturing companies within the sub-sector.

The activities included the preparation of training materials on basic financial management, hands-on practice in preparing simple financial statements, the use of digital bookkeeping applications, and an evaluation of their implementation. The training was conducted intensively over three days using interactive and practical methods. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ understanding and skills in managing business finances, recording transactions in an organized manner, and preparing financial reports that could be used for basic business analysis. Moreover, the program encouraged MSME actors to become more independent in making data-driven business decisions. This initiative is expected to have a long-term impact in promoting professionalism among MSMEs and serve as a replicable model for community empowerment through improved financial literacy.

This study examines the comparative profitability of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk before and during the boycott issue that emerged as part of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement in 2023. Profitability was selected as the focus because it is a key financial performance indicator that reflects the company’s ability to generate returns under changing social and economic pressures. The research aims to evaluate differences in financial performance using three indicators: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) across two periods, namely before the boycott (2021–2022) and during the boycott (2023–2024). Employing a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach, the study analyzed financial ratios and applied the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings reveal a decline in ROA from 30.20% (2021) and 29.29% (2022) to 28.81% (2023) and 20.99% (2024), as well as a drop in NPM from 14.56% and 13.02% to 12.49% and 9.59% during the boycott period. Conversely, ROE increased to 156.74% in 2024, largely driven by a sharper decline in equity compared to net profit. Nevertheless, statistical testing indicates no significant difference in profitability between the two periods. These results suggest that while profitability trends weakened, the boycott had no statistically significant impact, implying that investor and consumer responses were not strong or sustained enough to materially affect financial performance.

The rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia presents both an opportunity and a challenge in increasing company value amidst the dynamics of an increasingly digital and competitive capital market. This phenomenon demonstrates that strong operational performance does not always translate into high market value, making it crucial to identify internal factors that influence company value, particularly in the pharmaceutical subsector, which plays a strategic role in Indonesia.This research aims to analyze the effect of Working Capital Turnover, Cash Turnover, Liquidity, and Profit Growth on Company Value in pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2021-2024 period.
