This study empirically examines the effects of ownership structure, including managerial, institutional, and public ownership, on tax avoidance practices, using profitability as a moderating variable. The population in this study consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), from which a sample was selected using purposive sampling. A total of 330 observations were collected from 110 manufacturing companies for the period 2022–2024. The variables were tested using multiple linear regression in EViews 12. This study expands on previous research by using profitability as a moderating variable that can influence the relationship between ownership structure and tax avoidance. The results show that institutional ownership has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance practices. An increase in institutional share ownership can reduce tax avoidance practices. Meanwhile, managerial and public ownership do not affect tax avoidance practices. In the moderation test, profitability strengthened the effect of managerial and institutional ownership on tax avoidance. Still, it did not moderate the impact between public ownership and tax avoidance.

Tax avoidance is an effort made by companies to reduce the amount of tax payable. The main source of state revenue is taxes, but tax avoidance that exploits legal loopholes to reduce the tax burden remains an issue on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020 to 2024. This study aims to examine the effect of profitability, capital intensity, and leverage on tax avoidance. This study applies a quantitative research approach using secondary data obtained from annual financial reports published on the official website www.idx.co.id as well as from the respective company websites. The analytical method employed is multiple linear regression. The research population consists of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2024, with a final sample of 92 observations selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that profitability and capital intensity significantly influence tax avoidance, whereas leverage shows no significant effect on tax avoidance.

As a high-value crop, potatoes necessitate balanced nutrient management for optimal growth and yield. This research aimed to assess how varying applications of NPK 20-20-10 fertilizer influenced potato growth, yield, tuber quality, agronomic efficiency, and economic viability within tropical climates. The experimental setup involved a randomized complete block design, incorporating four replications across seven distinct treatments: a control, a standard inorganic fertilization regimen, and NPK 20-20-10 applied at 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 times the suggested dosage. The findings indicated that applying NPK 20-20-10 significantly enhanced several parameters, including plant height, branch count, tuber count, tuber weight, and overall yield components, when contrasted with the control group. Notably, the 1.25 times recommended dose demonstrated superior performance, leading to a 34.9% increase in tuber number and a 68.6% rise in tuber weight compared to the control. Agronomic effectiveness scores surpassed 100 for dosages ranging from 0.75 to 1.50, with the 1.25 dose registering the peak value. Economic evaluations confirmed the profitability of all NPK treatments, and the 1.25 dose yielded the most favorable R/C ratio and a net profit of IDR 29,053,400. Consequently, the recommended application for potato cultivation is 675 kg/ha of NPK 20-20-10, distributed in three equal parts at planting, four weeks post-planting, and six weeks post-planting. Thus, these results underscore that NPK 20-20-10, when applied at 1.25 times the recommended rate, presents an agronomically effective and economically sound strategy for sustainable potato farming in tropical settings.

This study aims to analyze the effect of sustainability report disclosure, audit committee meeting frequency, liquidity, leverage, and total asset turnover on profitability in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. Profitability is measured using Return on Equity (ROE). This research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual financial statements and sustainability reports. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, yielding 34 mining companies with 102 observations in total. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed after fulfilling classical assumption tests. The results indicate that sustainability report disclosure, audit committee meetings, liquidity, leverage, and total asset turnover simultaneously have a significant effect on profitability. However, partially, total asset turnover has a positive and significant impact on profitability. Meanwhile, sustainability report disclosure, audit committee meeting frequency, liquidity, and leverage do not significantly affect profitability. These findings suggest that asset utilization efficiency plays a crucial role in improving profitability in the mining sector. This study is expected to provide insights for companies, investors, and regulators to understand the determinants of profitability better and to support improved corporate governance and financial decision-making in mining companies.

This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure, Return on Assets (ROA), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) on tax avoidance in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 112 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using Stata 16 software. The empirical results indicate that ESG, ROA, and ERP simultaneously have no significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, each independent variable also shows no significant influence. These findings suggest that ESG implementation and ERP adoption have not directly affected corporate tax behavior, while profitability is not a primary determinant of tax avoidance in the energy sector. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating ERP as a novel variable in tax avoidance research, providing additional insight into the role of integrated information systems in corporate taxation practices.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of profitability, leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow shocks on the financial distress of companies in the hotel, restaurant, and tourism subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2021 to 2024. The research approach employed is quantitative, using logistic regression analysis. The data analyzed are secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of the respective companies. The results of the study indicate that, simultaneously, the four independent variables significantly influence financial distress. However, based on partial testing, each variable, namely Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Current Ratio (CR), and cash flow shock, does not show a significant relationship with financial distress. These findings imply that the risk of financial distress in this industry cannot be explained solely through a single financial indicator; instead, a more holistic approach is required. This study provides essential contributions to both management and investors in assessing companies' financial condition and formulating appropriate strategic decisions.

This study examines how company size, asset growth, tangibility, leverage, and total asset turnover affect profitability in consumer manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023, using secondary data collected via purposive sampling. The independent variables in this study include the natural logarithm of total assets, asset growth (this year’s total assets relative to the previous year), and tangibility (the fixed asset ratio to total assets). Leverage uses the debt-to-asset ratio, and total asset turnover uses the total asset turnover ratio, while the dependent variable of profitability uses return on assets. Of the 108 companies in the population, 19 that met the research sample criteria were selected, yielding 95 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, accompanied by classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing through F-tests and t-tests. The findings of this study reveal that asset growth has a significant positive effect on profitability, while leverage shows a significant negative effect. However, firm size, tangibility, and total asset turnover do not exhibit significant relationships with profitability. This study contributes both theoretically and practically to understanding the internal determinants of financial performance in the consumer sector and serves as a reference for management.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, leverage, and liquidity on firm value in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020–2024 period. Profitability is measured by Return On Assets (ROA), leverage by Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and liquidity by Current Ratio (CR), while firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV). The study employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis. The sample consists of 25 companies selected through purposive sampling, with a total of 125 secondary data observations obtained from annual financial statements. The results indicate that, partially, profitability, financial risk, and liquidity have a positive and significant effect on firm value. Simultaneously, the three independent variables also significantly affect firm value, with an adjusted R² of 43.4%, meaning that 56.6% of the variation in firm value is explained by other factors outside the model. These findings support agency theory and signaling theory, which suggest that strong financial performance, optimal debt management, and adequate liquidity provide positive signals to investors, thereby enhancing firm value.

The high-value horticulture sector has gained increasing attention in modern agricultural development, particularly in the cultivation of premium melon through greenhouse and fertigation systems. The Satria Tani Hanggawana Cooperative has initiated premium melon farming to enhance members’ income; however, investment decisions in high-value commodities require a comprehensive financial feasibility assessment to ensure business sustainability. This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of premium melon farming by examining production costs, revenue, income, and financial efficiency indicators. Using a descriptive method with qualitative and quantitative approaches, the research was conducted through direct observation and interviews in two active greenhouses. The results show that the total production cost for one planting season reached Rp20,413,750, dominated by variable costs, reflecting the intensive input requirement to maintain product quality. The total revenue of Rp33,950,000 generated a net income of Rp13,536,250, indicating that the enterprise is financially profitable. The R/C Ratio of 1.67 confirms that the business operates efficiently, while the B/C Ratio of 0.67 indicates that net benefits remain below total costs due to reduced production caused by pest disturbances. The break-even analysis further shows that actual production far exceeded the minimum threshold required to avoid losses. Overall, the findings demonstrate that premium melon farming is financially viable, yet improvements in cost management, production monitoring, and greenhouse operational efficiency are essential to enhance profitability and long-term sustainability for the cooperative.

This research examines the analysis of Return on Equity (ROE), Quick Ratio (QR), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on corporate valuation, as assessed by Price-to-Book Value (PBV), within technology firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2022 to 2024. The primary aim of this investigation is to ascertain the effects of profitability, liquidity, and leverage both in isolation and in conjunction on market valuation in an industry characterized by innovation and intangible assets. This research employs panel data regression analysis utilizing EViews 13 as the quantitative methodology. The findings reveal that ROE significantly enhances PBV, indicating that investors place considerable importance on firms that are capable of generating substantial returns on equity for shareholders. Conversely, QR and DER appear to have no discernible impact on PBV. This observation can be attributed to the unique nature of technology companies, wherein investors prioritize factors other than short-term liquidity and leverage. Nonetheless, when assessed collectively, the three metrics illuminate the variations in corporate value. These results suggest that while financial stability indices exert a positive yet comparatively subdued effect on investor sentiment within the technology sector, profitability remains a paramount determinant. The study elucidates the financial determinants that influence corporate value in innovation-driven industries, providing valuable insights for managers and investors alike.

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the health level of PT Bank Mega Tbk during the 2016–2023 period using the Risk-Based Bank Rating (RGEC) method. This research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with an evaluative design. The data used are secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements published by PT Bank Mega Tbk and the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The analytical method refers to regulatory provisions by Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority, covering four assessment factors: Risk Profile (measured by Non-Performing Loan and Loan to Deposit Ratio), Good Corporate Governance (based on self-assessment reports), Earnings (measured by Return on Assets, Return on Equity, BOPO, and Net Interest Margin), and Capital (measured by Capital Adequacy Ratio). Each indicator is assessed according to regulatory criteria and integrated to determine the Composite Rating (PK). The results show that PT Bank Mega Tbk consistently achieved Composite Rating 1 (PK-1), categorized as “Very Healthy,” throughout the observation period. The Risk Profile, Capital, and most Earnings indicators demonstrate strong and stable performance, while Good Corporate Governance remains consistently in the “Healthy” category. However, the Return on Equity indicator shows relatively lower performance compared to other profitability ratios, indicating the need for more optimal utilization of equity. Overall, the findings confirm the bank’s strong financial resilience while highlighting managerial implications related to capital efficiency.

This study aims to examine the effect of profitability ratios, namely Earnings per Share (EPS), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE), on the stock price of PT Ciputra Development Tbk during the 2016–2023 period. The research employs a quantitative approach with a causal research design using secondary data derived from quarterly financial statements and stock closing prices published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by classical assumption tests, partial hypothesis testing (t-test), simultaneous testing (F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that EPS, NPM, and ROA do not have a significant effect on stock prices, while ROE has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, all profitability variables do not significantly influence stock prices. The coefficient of determination indicates that profitability ratios explain a relatively small proportion of stock price variation, suggesting that stock prices in the property sector are influenced more by external and market-related factors than by short-term profitability indicators. These findings imply that ROE is the most relevant profitability indicator for investors in assessing property sector stocks, while other profitability ratios play a limited role.

This study aims to analyze the effect of asset growth, capital structure, and asset structure on the profitability of PT Astra Graphia Tbk during the period 2016–2023. The research employs a quantitative approach with a causal research design using secondary data derived from the company’s quarterly financial statements. A total of 32 quarterly observations were selected through purposive sampling. Profitability is measured using Return on Equity (ROE), while data analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression. Prior to hypothesis testing, classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, and autocorrelation tests were performed to ensure the robustness of the regression model. The results indicate that asset growth, capital structure, and asset structure simultaneously have a significant effect on firm profitability. However, partially, only asset structure has a significant effect on profitability, while asset growth and capital structure show no significant influence. These findings suggest that efficient asset composition plays a more critical role in improving profitability than mere asset expansion or increased leverage. The managerial implication of this study highlights the importance of optimizing asset structure to enhance the firm’s ability to generate sustainable profits.

This study examines how changes in company value are affected by profitability, liquidity, and asset structure using a case study of PT Bank Central Asia Tbk from 2017 to 2024. The Fixed Asset Ratio (FAR), which serves as a proxy for asset structure, the Return on Assets (ROA), which measures profitability, and the Current Ratio (CR), which measures liquidity, are the independent variables in the Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio. The study data came from BCA's public annual financial reports, and SPSS software was used to do multiple linear regression analysis. The findings demonstrate that changes in firm valuation are significantly positively impacted by profitability, suggesting that improved profit performance fosters favorable investor attitudes. On the other hand, throughout the observation period, changes in the company's value are not significantly impacted by liquidity or asset structure. This result is consistent with some earlier research, although it varies in the area of liquidity's impact, indicating a lack of consistency among investigations. Practically speaking, banking management may utilize the study's findings to develop financial plans that emphasize boosting profitability in order to optimize business value. Academically, this study adds to the body of knowledge on the elements that influence corporate value, particularly in the Indonesian banking sector, and addresses the present research gap on the impact of liquidity and asset structure.

This study aims to identify the influence of profitability, liquidity, and asset structure on the capital structure of pharmaceutical sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. The study spanned five years, from 2019 to 2023. Of the total 15 companies in the population, 7 companies were selected as samples using a purposive sampling method. The research data were sourced from annual financial reports accessed through the official IDX website. Data processing was carried out using multiple linear regression methods. Capital structure was measured using two indicators: the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and the Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR). The analysis results showed that profitability had no effect on these two capital structure indicators. Conversely, liquidity and asset structure were shown to influence both DER and DAR. This study provides insight into the factors influencing debt financing decisions in pharmaceutical companies and their implications for the company's financial stability.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) often face challenges in determining accurate production costs and setting appropriate selling prices, which can lead to inefficiency, low profit margins, and reduced business competitiveness. This community service program was conducted in Semarang City and involved 25 MSME participants from various sectors. The activity was carried out over one full-day training session, aiming to improve the financial and managerial capabilities of MSME owners through training on the calculation of Cost of Production (HPP) and the formulation of selling prices using effective pricing methods. The training was delivered through lectures, demonstrations, and practical exercises to ensure participants' understanding and ability to apply the concepts. As a result, participants were able to identify production cost components, calculate unit cost accurately, and set selling prices based on cost-plus pricing and market considerations. The program significantly enhanced MSME owners’ skills in making pricing decisions, leading to improved profitability and sustainability of their businesses. This training is expected to serve as a foundation for better financial planning and strategic decision-making within MSMEs.

Due to the fact that it exploits legal gaps (gray areas) in tax rules and regulations, tax avoidance is classified as a valid and non-violating activity, despite the fact that the government does not want it. This study aims to gather factual information about the relationship between tax avoidance and firm size, sales growth, capital intensity, and profitability. 111 data points were gathered from 37 banking companies that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2020 and 2022. The gathered data was examined using multiple regression analysis at a 5% significance level. It was discovered that there was no discernible relationship between tax evasion and profitability, capital intensity, firm size, or sales growth.

This study evaluates the impact of TATO, ROA, DER, stock returns, and firm size on company value (PBV) for 28 infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2023. The background to this research is the crucial role of the infrastructure sector amid government budget dynamics that affect corporate performance and investor perception. The results show that ROA, DER, and stock returns have a significant positive effect on company value. This indicates that high profitability, optimal debt management, and good stock returns send positive signals to the market. Conversely, TATO was found to have a significant negative effect, reflecting that inefficiencies in asset management can reduce investor confidence. Meanwhile, firm size had no significant impact on company value. This study recommends that investors use ROA, DER, and stock return as key indicators in decision-making. At the same time, companies are advised to optimise profitability and debt management to enhance their value in the eyes of investors.

This study aims to examine the effect of profitability, sales growth, and liquidity on debt policy in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019–2024 period. The independent variables in this study include profitability, measured by Return on Assets (ROA); sales growth (SG); and liquidity, measured by the Current Ratio (CR). Meanwhile, the dependent variable is debt policy, measured by the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER). This study uses a quantitative approach, employing multiple linear regression analysis. The sample comprises 174 observational data points collected using purposive sampling. Testing was conducted using SPSS software, which includes the classical assumption test, the coefficient of determination test, the simultaneous test (F test), and the partial test (t test). The results show that profitability, sales growth, and liquidity simultaneously significantly affect debt policy. Partially, profitability tends to be positive, sales growth tends to be negative but not significant with respect to debt policy, while liquidity has a simultaneous negative effect. Of the four hypotheses proposed, two were accepted, and two were rejected because the direction of the influence did not match the initial assumption, and the significance value was more than 0.05.

This study aims to see the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Return on Assets (ROA) on Stock Price in PT. Wilmar Cahaya Indonesia, Tbk which is listed on the IDX during the period 2015–2022. The data used in this study is in the form of the company's annual financial statements obtained through secondary sources. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis methods, while data processing is carried out using the SPSS application. The results of the study show that partially the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) variable has a negative effect on the Share Price, while the Return on Assets (ROA) does not have a positive effect on the company's Share Price. However, the results of the simultaneous test show that DER and ROA together have a positive and significant influence on the Stock Price. These findings provide an idea that the combination of capital structure and profitability remains an important indicator in assessing the performance of a company's shares even though their partial relationships show different tendencies. In addition, this research can be a reference for investors in considering the company's fundamental condition before making investment decisions, as well as provide additional insights for management in managing the capital structure more optimally.
