This study examines the efficiency of financial ratios in assessing corporate performance across countries. Although financial ratios are widely used as concise indicators of profitability, liquidity, solvency, and market value, their interpretive accuracy may vary across institutional, regulatory, financial, and macroeconomic environments. The objective of this study is to conceptually evaluate whether financial ratios can function as universally comparable performance measures in heterogeneous cross-country settings. Using a qualitative literature-based method, this study synthesizes prior findings on financial ratio analysis, financial statement comparability, market efficiency, regulatory enforcement, and macroeconomic stability. The findings indicate that profitability, liquidity, solvency, and market-based ratios are context-dependent indicators rather than universally stable measures. Their efficiency is influenced by accounting standards, audit quality, leverage norms, tax systems, capital market maturity, and macroeconomic volatility. The study proposes a contextual framework for interpreting financial ratios according to their sensitivity to national conditions. The implication is that researchers, analysts, and investors should combine ratio analysis with institutional and macroeconomic diagnostics to reduce biased performance interpretation in cross-country corporate evaluation.

Budget efficiency is an important issue in state financial management because it is directly related to government spending priorities and their impact on public service programs. Discussions about budget efficiency policies are widespread on social media platform X, generating diverse public responses, thus necessitating an automated approach to understand public opinion trends more quickly and objectively. This research aims to analyze the sentiment of Indonesian people toward budget efficiency policies and compare the performance of the Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms in classifying sentiment. The research data used 10,909 Indonesian-language tweets sourced from a public dataset, which were then processed thru the preprocessing stages including cleaning, case folding, normalization, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming. Sentiment labeling is performed automatically using the Indonesian Sentiment Lexicon (InSet) approach to categorize data into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Feature extraction was performed using Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and then the data was divided into training and testing sets with an 80:20 ratio. Model performance evaluation was conducted using a confusion matrix and the metrics of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The research results show that sentiment distribution is dominated by negative sentiment at 56.78%, followed by positive sentiment at 37.40%, and neutral sentiment at 5.83%. In the classification stage, SVM performed best with an accuracy of 86%, while Naïve Bayes achieved an accuracy of 74%. These findings indicate that SVM is more optimal for sentiment classification on social media text data and can be utilized to more effectively support the analysis of public response to budget efficiency policies.

This study aims to analyze the bankruptcy prediction of PT Matahari Department Store Tbk using the Zmijewski method. The Zmijewski method, developed in 1984, is one of the most widely used approaches to predict corporate financial distress through the use of financial ratios. The study covers the period from 2019 to 2023 and applies a quantitative research design. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from the company’s financial reports. Data collection techniques include documentation and literature study, while the data analysis technique applied is the Zmijewski model, which employs three main ratios: return on assets (X1), debt to assets ratio (X2), and current ratio (X3). 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.

A company's financial performance is one of the main indicators in assessing the health and sustainability of a business entity's operations. Evaluation of financial performance is crucial, especially for large companies operating in strategic sectors such as telecommunications. PT. XL, as a telecommunications company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, requires regular performance assessments to provide a clear picture of the effectiveness of its business strategy and its ability to generate profits. This study aims to analyze PT. XL's financial performance using a profitability ratio approach. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, utilizing secondary data sourced from the company's financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and other financial statements for the 2021–2023 period. The profitability ratios analyzed include Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Gross Profit Margin (GPM), and Earnings Per Share (EPS). These five ratios were chosen because they are able to describe the company's ability to generate profits, both in terms of sales, total assets, and shareholder equity. The analysis results indicate that PT. XL's financial performance during the study period is still less than optimal. This is reflected in the profitability ratio, which is below the average standard for the Indonesian telecommunications industry. This condition indicates that the company has not been able to optimally manage its resources to generate competitive profits. This finding has important implications, namely the need to evaluate financial management strategies, operational cost efficiency, and improve service quality to increase company profitability in the future. Therefore, this study confirms that profitability ratio analysis is a crucial instrument for assessing a company's financial condition and serves as a basis for formulating performance improvement strategies.  

This study aims to examine the influence of financial performance ratios—namely, the liquidity ratio (Current Ratio/CR), solvency ratio (Debt to Asset Ratio/DAR), and activity ratio (Total Asset Turnover/TATO)—on the return on assets (ROA) of companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020–2023. Employing a quantitative research approach with purposive sampling, the study focuses on automotive sector companies that met specific criteria over the observed time span. Data analysis was conducted using EViews version 13 software, and the methodology included descriptive statistics, panel data estimation, classical assumption tests, panel data regression analysis, t-tests (for partial effects), F-tests (for simultaneous effects), and coefficient of determination (R²) tests. The partial test results reveal that the liquidity ratio (CR) has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that higher liquidity does not necessarily enhance profitability. Similarly, the solvency ratio (DAR) demonstrates a negative and insignificant effect on ROA, suggesting that increased debt levels are not significantly associated with lower returns. In contrast, the activity ratio (TATO) has a positive and significant effect on ROA, implying that better asset utilization contributes positively to profitability. When tested simultaneously, the combination of CR, DAR, and TATO shows a positive and significant influence on ROA, indicating that these financial ratios collectively impact the profitability of automotive companies. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how internal financial indicators relate to profitability in the automotive sector and can inform management decisions and investor evaluations.

This study aims to evaluate the financial performance of PT Akasha Wira International Tbk during the period 2022 to 2024 using profitability ratio analysis. The ratios analyzed include Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Operating Profit Margin (OPM), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). The data used is sourced from official financial statements published through the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. Based on the results of the analysis, the company's financial performance is generally relatively good and shows stability over the past three years. This is reflected in the consistency of the profitability ratio which is at a favorable level, indicating the effectiveness of the company in managing assets, its own capital, production costs, and operational activities. Further analysis shows that the Return on Assets and Return on Equity show a stable trend with a slight increase, which indicates efficiency in asset utilization and capital management. Gross Profit Margin and Operating Profit Margin also show positive trends, indicating efficiency in managing production costs and operational activities. Net Profit Margin, although slightly volatile, remains within a range that reflects good profitability. In addition, the results of this evaluation also indicate that the company has the ability to adapt to market changes and dynamic economic conditions. The ability to maintain profit margins in the midst of economic fluctuations shows the resilience of the business model and operational strategy applied. These findings provide an idea that PT Akasha Wira International Tbk has been able to maintain a healthy performance despite being in a competitive business environment. Thus, the results of this evaluation can be used as a basis for strategic considerations by management in preparing long-term financial plans and decision-making, as well as a reference for investors in assessing the company's prospects.

The objective of this study is to examine and compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks in Indonesia during the 2019–2023 period. This research is motivated by the rapid growth of the Islamic banking industry; however, its market share remains relatively small compared to conventional banks. The study evaluates various financial ratio indicators, including Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), BOPO, Non-Performing Loans (NPL), and Non-Performing Financing (NPF), using a quantitative approach and comparative method. Data were collected from the annual financial reports of several major banks selected through purposive sampling. The results of the analysis indicate that conventional banks generally outperform in terms of profitability and operational efficiency, as reflected in the ROA and BOPO ratios. On the other hand, Islamic banks demonstrate more stable financing quality and liquidity, as indicated by relatively stable NPF and FDR ratios. These performance differences stem from the distinct operational principles of the two banking systems: interest-based operations for conventional banks and profit-sharing principles for Islamic banks. The study concludes that a more comprehensive evaluation method, integrating both sharia compliance and financial elements, is essential to provide a fair and accurate assessment of bank performance. The findings are expected to be valuable for regulators, academics, and industry practitioners in formulating policies that support a more inclusive and sustainable banking system.

This research examines the governance of the National Amil Zakat Agency of Barito Kuala Regency as an effort to optimize transparent, professional, and sharia-compliant zakat management. Although South Kalimantan has the highest zakat potential in Kalimantan Island, its zakat realization is still far from the target, reflecting the challenges of public trust and the effectiveness of the institution's governance. This study aims to evaluate the governance of Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency using three main indicators: Zakat Core Principles Index, Sharia Compliance Index of Zakat Management Organization, and Financial Ratio Analysis. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data was collected through observation and internal document analysis. The result shows that the implementation of Zakat Core Principle scores 0.44 (good enough category), while sharia compliance scores 0.72 (good category), and financial ratio shows high efficiency and effectiveness in collecting and distributing zakat. Important findings reveal that the suboptimal documentation of Operational Procedur Standard, absence of internal audit, and high operational burden become obstacles to ideal governance. Although the management of zakat in Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency has been running according to regulations and sharia principles, improvement of institutional structure, documentation, efficiency of human resources, and transparency of financial statements are needed. This research provides a practical contribution as an internal evaluation of the institution and a scientific contribution in the development of accountable and sustainable zakat management in Indonesia.
