Indonesia's increasing economic growth has intensified competition in the business world, particularly in the Indonesian banking sector, from conventional to sharia-compliant. Furthermore, the entry of foreign banks has made business activities in Indonesia increasingly complex. The stock market is a crucial source of funding for companies. Publicly listed companies can increase their funding sources by selling ownership in the capital market. Dividends are the distribution of company earnings to shareholders in the form of cash, assets, or other forms. Dividend policy is a policy for sharing company profits with shareholders, which is announced in the form of dividends and retained earnings for the benefit of company growth. The proportion of dividends distributed to shareholders depends on the company's profitability and dividend policy. The percentage of profits distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends is called the Dividend Payout Ratio.Differences in calculations in determining financial ratios in banking companies are an interesting focus in this study. The study results show quite significant results between financial ratios and managers' decisions in making dividend policy decisions. In the future, the results of this study are expected to be a consideration and reference for investors who want to enter the world of investment, especially in the banking sector.

This study investigates the determinants of dividend payout policy in energy sector firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Dividend policy is a critical issue in emerging markets, especially in capital-intensive industries with high investment needs and earnings volatility. The research examines whether profitability and ownership structure—specifically institutional and managerial ownership—significantly influence dividend payout decisions, considering firm characteristics. The study analyzes the effect of profitability, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership on the dividend payout ratio, while controlling for firm size and leverage. A quantitative approach is used, employing pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression on 245 firm-year observations. Dividend payout ratio is measured as dividend per share divided by earnings per share, profitability is proxied by return on equity, and ownership variables are expressed as shareholding proportions. Descriptive analysis and classical assumption tests precede hypothesis testing. The results show that profitability positively and significantly affects dividend payout, suggesting that firms with better financial performance tend to distribute higher dividends. Firm size also positively influences dividend policy, while leverage negatively impacts it, reflecting the role of financial capacity and capital structure. However, institutional and managerial ownership do not show significant effects on dividend payout decisions. The findings indicate that dividend policy in Indonesian energy firms is primarily driven by financial performance and structural characteristics rather than ownership-based governance mechanisms. This study offers sector-specific evidence that refines agency and signaling perspectives on dividend policy in emerging markets, with practical implications for managers, investors, and regulators.

This study examines the effect of financial ratios on dividend policy with sales growth as a moderating variable in technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2019–2023. Dividend policy is an important corporate decision because it reflects management considerations in balancing company growth and shareholder returns. The independent variables used in this research are profitability, liquidity, and leverage, while dividend policy is the dependent variable and sales growth acts as a moderating variable. Profitability is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity is proxied by the Current Ratio (CR), leverage is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and dividend policy is measured by the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). This study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data are analyzed using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis.The results show that profitability does not have a significant effect on dividend policy, indicating that net profit generated during the year is not the main consideration in dividend distribution decisions within technology companies. Liquidity has a significant effect on dividend policy, suggesting that companies with stronger short-term financial conditions tend to have a greater ability to distribute dividends. Leverage also significantly affects dividend policy, implying that the level of corporate debt influences management decisions regarding dividend payments. Furthermore, sales growth does not moderate the relationship between profitability and dividend policy. However, sales growth is proven to moderate the effect of liquidity and leverage on dividend policy. These findings provide insights for management and investors in understanding dividend policy determinants in technology sector companies in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of cum and ex-dividend dates and company size on stock prices using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) as a moderating variable. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis with moderating variables on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research is based on signaling theory, which states that dividend information can serve as a signal for investors in making investment decisions. The results of the study indicate that all independent and moderating variables in the model simultaneously have a significant influence on stock prices. This suggests that the regression model used in this study is valid and can comprehensively explain stock price variations. This study implies that companies need to develop a more structured financial communication strategy, particularly in the disclosure of dividend information. Not only should the timing of dividend distribution be communicated, but the number of dividends to be distributed should also be clearly communicated to strengthen investor response. The implementation of this strategy must be accompanied by compliance with OJK and IDX regulations to maintain market confidence and increase the value of company shares.

The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) provides public access to investment. Investors can invest in various companies through publicly listed securities using capital market processes to obtain returns and dividends. To obtain returns and dividends, investors first read the company's financial statements to avoid losses. Aiming to provide empirical evidence, this study analyzed non-financial corporations listed on the IDX between 2020 and 2023 to determine the impact of financial performance on dividend policy, along with company size as a moderating variable. This research employed a quantitative approach and purposive sampling for data selection, which was updated in line with predetermined indicators. Over four years, 147 different companies served as study samples. The study used warpPLS 7.0 as a data analysis tool and combined outer and inner models to evaluate independent variable hypotheses and moderating hypotheses. The study found that liquidity plays a role in dividend policy, profitability plays a role in dividend policy, activity plays a role in dividend policy, and only solvency does not play a role in dividend policy. It was also found that company size does not moderate the relationship between liquidity and dividend policy, but it does moderate the relationship between profitability and dividend policy. Company size also does not moderate the relationship between activity and dividend policy, and does not strengthen the relationship between solvency and dividend policy.

This study aims to analyze the effect of dividend policy and profitability on shareholder wealth in companies listed in the High Dividend 20 Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the official IDX website (www.idx.co.id ).The population includes all issuers in the High Dividend 20 Index during the research period, and purposive sampling was applied to select 12 companies as the final sample. Data analysis techniques involved classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing to determine the influence of independent variables on shareholder wealth. The statistical analysis was performed using EViews 12 Student Version software.The findings reveal that the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) does not have a significant effect on shareholder wealth, implying that dividend distribution is not the main factor influencing investor value in the observed companies. In contrast, Return on Assets (ROA) demonstrates a significant positive effect, which highlights the importance of profitability in driving shareholder wealth. These results suggest that investors may place greater emphasis on a company’s ability to generate earnings rather than its dividend distribution policy when assessing firm value. The study contributes to the literature on dividend policy and corporate performance by providing evidence from the Indonesian capital market, particularly within firms that consistently distribute high dividends.

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.

This study aims to explain and prove the hypothesis regarding the influence of investment decisions, financing decisions, and dividend policies on firm value in coal sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. This study used a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling method, resulting in 10 companies as research samples. Data analysis was conducted through classical assumption tests to ensure the fulfillment of regression analysis requirements, followed by hypothesis testing using multiple regression analysis. Data processing was carried out using E-Views software version 13. The results showed that partially, investment decisions have a positive and significant effect on firm value, with a probability value of 0.0000, which is smaller than the 0.05 significance level. This finding indicates that the more appropriate a company's investment decisions are, the higher the company's value is reflected in its stock performance in the capital market. Conversely, the financing decision variable does not have a significant effect on firm value, with a probability value of 0.3796, which is greater than 0.05. This indicates that the funding structure, whether derived from equity or debt, did not directly affect firm value during the study period. Similarly, the dividend policy variable did not significantly influence firm value, with a probability value of 0.7493 > 0.05. This means that the amount of dividends distributed was not a determining factor in firm value in the sample studied. However, simultaneously, all three independent variables—investment decisions, financing decisions, and dividend policy—were shown to have a significant effect on firm value, with a probability value (F-statistic) of 0.0000 < 0.05. This confirms that the combination of these three factors collectively contributes to changes in firm value in the coal sub-sector.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of dividend policy, capital structure, and investment opportunity set on firm value in the technology sector industry (A Study of Technology Sector Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2018 to 2022). This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data. The population of this study consists of companies operating in the technology industry that have gone public and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2018 to 2022. The data collection method used is secondary data. The secondary data collection method was obtained from data available at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The data processing techniques used in this study involved secondary data analysis conducted by the researcher with the assistance of E-Views 9 software. The results of this study indicate that dividend policy has a positive and significant effect on firm value, suggesting that investors in the technology sector still view dividends as a signal of financial stability. Capital structure has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that optimal debt usage can enhance competitiveness and growth in the technology sector. Investment opportunities also have a positive and significant impact on firm value, as companies with high investment prospects are more attractive to investors and experience increased stock prices. Dividend policy, capital structure, and investment opportunities simultaneously have a significant impact on firm value, with firm size and profit growth as control variables that also strengthen this relationship.

Profitability is one of the key indicators in assessing a company's ability to generate profits and plays a crucial role in financial decision-making. According to the pecking order theory, companies with high profitability tend to prefer using internal funds and reduce reliance on debt. This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability on debt policy, as well as to examine the role of dividend policy as a moderating variable in this relationship. The study employed Slovin’s formula for sample selection and analyzed 263 non-financial publicly listed companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2023. The data used in this research were secondary data obtained from annual financial reports published on the official website of the IDX or the respective company websites. Profitability was measured using return on assets (ROA), debt policy was measured by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER), and dividend policy was measured by the dividend payout ratio (DPR). The analytical method used in this study was multiple linear regression analysis with the help of the SPSS software. The results indicate that profitability has a negative effect on debt policy, meaning that the more profitable a company is, the less likely it is to depend on debt financing. Additionally, the findings suggest that dividend policy does not significantly moderate the relationship between profitability and debt policy. This implies that whether a company distributes dividends or not does not meaningfully influence how profitability affects its debt decisions. These results are in line with the pecking order theory and provide insight for corporate financial managers in planning funding structures. It also emphasizes the importance of internally generated funds for companies with strong earnings performance.

Corporate profits may be allocated either as dividends to shareholders or retained to support future investment activities. The proportion of dividends distributed serves as an indicator of management’s ability to balance reinvestment needs with shareholder returns. Decisions regarding dividend distribution are typically finalized during the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), following recommendations put forth by the board of directors. This research investigates how asset management influences dividend payments, assesses the impact of leverage on dividend distribution, and explores the moderating effect of company growth on the relationship between asset management and leverage with dividend payouts. The study focuses on companies listed in the High Dividend 20 Index (IDXHIDIV20) from 2019 to 2023. Using purposive sampling, 29 companies were selected, yielding 145 observations that consistently issued dividends throughout the study period. The analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Findings indicate that asset management positively affects dividend payments, whereas leverage does not exhibit a significant influence. Moreover, company growth is found to weaken the positive association between asset management and dividends, while it does not moderate the relationship between leverage and dividend payouts. These findings support both signaling theory and contingency theory, emphasizing that efficient asset utilization enhances corporate profitability, which in turn can lead to higher dividend distributions.

Article 26 Income Tax (PPh Article 26) is a tax imposed on income received by foreign taxpayers from sources within Indonesia. This tax applies to foreign entities or individuals who do not reside, are not domiciled, and do not have a permanent establishment in Indonesia. Types of taxable income include interest, dividends, royalties, rent, and service fees. The standard tax rate is 20% of the gross income, but it can be reduced if a Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) exists between Indonesia and the taxpayer’s country. The Indonesian income payer is responsible for withholding the tax. After withholding, the tax must be paid to the government by the 10th of the following month and reported to the tax authority by the 20th. To apply DTAA rates, the foreign taxpayer must submit a Certificate of Domicile (CoD). This mechanism ensures that Indonesia maintains its right to tax income derived within its territory. By understanding the procedures for withholding, paying, and reporting Article 26 tax, taxpayers can fulfill their tax obligations correctly and avoid administrative penalties.

Income Tax Article 26 (PPh 26) is a type of tax imposed on income received by foreign taxpayers from Indonesia, including royalties, interest, dividends, prizes, as well as technical and managerial services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Article 26 in cross-border transactions, the level of compliance by foreign taxpayers, and the effectiveness of tax withholding and payment by withholding agents. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and analysis of tax regulations. The results show that although the regulations concerning PPh 26 are relatively clear, there are still obstacles in its implementation, such as a lack of understanding by tax withholders, difficulties in validating foreign tax documents, and suboptimal utilization of tax treaties (Double Tax Avoidance Agreements). This research recommends enhanced education and training for withholding agents, stronger integration of digital reporting systems, and stricter supervision by tax authorities in order to maximize state revenue potential from Article 26 income tax.

Article 26 of the Indonesian Income Tax Law (PPh Pasal 26) is a significant fiscal regulation that imposes withholding tax on income derived from Indonesian sources and received by foreign taxpayers who do not have a permanent establishment (PE) in Indonesia. The implementation of this regulation plays a crucial role in securing state revenue from cross-border transactions while also addressing the issue of double taxation through Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs). Income subject to PPh 26 includes dividends, interest, royalties, rent, service fees, rewards, pensions, and insurance premiums. The standard withholding tax rate is 20% of the gross or estimated net income, although lower rates may apply depending on applicable tax treaties. The calculation method varies depending on the type of income and the existence of a DTAA. This article also highlights the importance of determining the beneficial owner in applying tax treaty benefits, as well as the challenges faced by companies and tax authorities in enforcement. A case study is presented to illustrate how PPh 26 is calculated on insurance and reinsurance transactions involving foreign entities. Understanding the mechanism, rates, and legal context of PPh 26 is essential for taxpayers and practitioners to ensure compliance and mitigate potential tax disputes.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial variables—namely firm size, profitability, and capital structure (debt to equity ratio)—on dividend policy in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2019–2023. The method used is multiple linear regression with secondary data obtained from financial statements and annual reports, selected through purposive sampling, comprising 13 companies and 65 observations. The analysis results indicate that firm size has a significant positive effect on dividend policy, while profitability (ROA) and capital structure (debt to equity ratio) have significant negative effects. These findings confirm that larger firms tend to pay higher dividends, whereas high profitability and leverage exert downward pressure on dividend policy. This study contributes to the development of financial literature concerning the determinants of dividend policy in the energy sector.

This research aimed to determine empirically the influence of Return On Assets, Free Cash Flow, Firm Size and Price Earnings Ratio on Dividend Payout Ratio on consumer non-cyclicals companies listed on the IDX in 2019 – 2023. This research was conducted using secondary data such as company financial reports. Datas were collected by  purposive sampling technique. In line with that, there were 95 datas from 19 companies which consistently give dividends each year. Additionally, the research used multiple linear regression model which was tested using IBM Statistics Product and Solution (SPSS) version 26. The results of the analysis showed that Return On Assets dan Price Earnings Ratio have positive and significant effect on Dividend Payout Ratio. Free Cash Flow and Firm Size have no significant effect on Dividend Payout Ratio.

This study explores the factors influencing firm value in the manufacturing industry in Indonesia, specifically focusing on dividends, investment opportunities, and leverage. The analysis is based on publicly available data from 178 manufacturing companies in Indonesia, spanning the years 2018 to 2023. The primary objective of this research is to identify the key determinants of firm value in Indonesia's manufacturing sector, grounded in capital structure theory, through the development of a theoretical model. The findings indicate that dividend policy, investment decisions, and leverage have a positive impact on firm value within Indonesia's manufacturing industry. This study provides empirical support for both the pecking order theory and agency theory.

This study investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on firm value and examines the role of corporate diversification between EPU and firm value. The research utilizes data from food and beverage companies in three countries Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand covering the period from 2019 to 2023, with 530 observations from 106 companies. It employs index-based measures for EPU and corporate diversification. Data is processed using Eviews 12, with the selected regression analysis model being the Random Effect Model (REM). The results indicate that diversification has a positive and significant effect on firm value, while EPU does not have a significant influence. Additionally, diversification cannot moderate the negative effects of EPU on firm value. Control variables positively influence firm value, including dividends, debt ratio, and operating cash flow.

The capital market is an arena where investors can meet issuers who want to offer or obtain securities. For someone who wants to become an investor, having a good understanding of the capital market is very important, so they need to study how this market works carefully. Education regarding the capital market is really needed by potential investors, and this can be done by stock exchange managers to provide great benefits. The more people are interested, the higher the reputation of the capital market. Investments are assets used by companies to increase wealth through the distribution of results, such as interest, royalties, dividends and rent, as well as to increase value or obtain other benefits from trade relationships. Shares and fixed assets are also included in investments. Prospective investors must have a deep understanding of the capital market and special skills in analyzing and understanding market conditions in order to make the right decisions and avoid losses.

We analyze the decision in case Number 213 PK/Pdt/2015 PT. Parna Jaya did not make a full deposit, but only part of the shares as capital. In accordance with the provisions of Article 34 paragraph 1 of the PT Law, the founders of the company make deposits for each part of the share capital taken up in the form of money or other forms. The deposits are made by PT. Parna Jaya is land that has been agreed upon based on Basic Agreement No. WN/1317/1970. By not carrying out their obligations in paying in full the issued capital and also in implementing the distribution of dividends for shareholders who do not carry out their obligations, there will be legal consequences for the position of shareholders, so the formulation of the problem is how the right to distribute dividends from PT. Parna Jaya which did not make a full capital deposit. The results of this research are that the ownership status of shareholders who do not deposit capital in full does not have legality and validity as legal shareholders. Founders who do not fulfill their obligations will cause the founders to lose their rights to dividends and other shareholder rights.
