This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of financial performance, capital structure, and good corporate governance on entities. The approach used is quantitative with a causal associative method. The research observations utilize secondary data sourced from the financial statements of entities listed on the stock exchange during the 2020–2023 period. The research sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique based on predefined criteria, totaling 160 observations. The analytical method employed is multiple linear regression, preceded by classical assumption tests. The results reveal that financial performance and good corporate governance have a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial statements, while capital structure has a significant negative effect. Simultaneously, the three independent variables are proven to significantly affect the quality of financial statements, with a coefficient of determination of 68%. These findings support agency theory and signaling theory in explaining the financial reporting behavior of entities. The implications of this study indicate that improving financial performance and implementing good corporate governance can enhance the quality of financial statements. Furthermore, optimal management of capital structure is also necessary to reduce the risk of financial statement manipulation.

This study examines the influence of earnings quality and dividend policy on firm value at PT Alkindo Naratama Tbk during the period 2014–2024. Firm value is measured using the Price to Book Value (PBV), earnings quality is proxied by the ratio of operating cash flow to net income (QOE), and dividend policy is measured using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). This research adopts a quantitative approach with an associative causal design using secondary data obtained from the company’s quarterly financial reports over eleven years, resulting in 44 observations. The analysis method applied is multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that earnings quality has a positive and significant impact on firm value. Dividend policy also shows a positive and significant effect on firm value. Simultaneously, earnings quality and dividend policy significantly influence firm value. The coefficient of determination indicates that a large proportion of firm value variation can be explained by these two variables. These results support signaling theory, which suggests that high earnings quality and stable dividend distribution provide positive signals to investors and increase market confidence in the company. The study contributes to financial management literature by highlighting the importance of financial performance indicators in determining firm value.

This study aims to analyze the reaction of the Indonesian capital market to the announcement of Donald Trump’s import tariff policy using an event study approach. Market reactions are measured through abnormal return and trading volume activity of exporting companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), with an event window of three trading days before and three trading days after the initial tariff announcement on April 2, 2025 and the revised tariff announcement on July 15, 2025. This study employs secondary data in the form of daily stock prices and trading volumes, analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results indicate that the Indonesian capital market reacts to the announcement of Donald Trump’s import tariff policy, as reflected by differences in abnormal return and trading volume activity before and after the announcements, thereby supporting signaling theory and the semi-strong form of market efficiency.

This study aims to examine the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure and profitability with firm value. The research was conducted on companies in the oil, gas, and coal sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The independent variables in this study are corporate social responsibility disclosure and profitability, while firm size is employed as a control variable. Firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), whereas profitability is measured using Return on Equity (ROE). This study is grounded in Stakeholder Theory and Signaling Theory to explain the relationships among the variables. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 29 companies. The data analysis techniques applied include Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression to examine both the simple relationships and the effects of corporate social responsibility disclosure and profitability on firm value. The results indicate that corporate social responsibility disclosure has a negative relationship with firm value, while profitability shows a positive and significant relationship with firm value.

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.

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.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on stock prices at PT Baramulti Suksessarana Tbk during the 2014–2023 period. TATO is an activity ratio that measures how efficiently a company utilizes its total assets to generate sales. This research employs a quantitative associative approach using secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to determine the relationship between the independent variable (TATO) and the dependent variable (stock price). The results show that TATO has a positive and significant effect on stock prices, with a correlation coefficient of 0.859 and a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the more efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales, the higher its stock price will be. The findings support the signaling theory and efficient market hypothesis, suggesting that asset efficiency serves as a positive signal for investors in evaluating firm performance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity, firm size, and capital structure on firm value in the banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The background of this research lies in the crucial role of the banking sector in maintaining national economic stability and the need for investors to access financial information that accurately reflects a company’s value. Referring to signaling theory, financial reports are viewed as signals to investors regarding the firm’s prospects and performance. This study employs a quantitative method using secondary data from the annual financial reports of nine banks selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 45 observations. The independent variables include liquidity (Loan to Deposit Ratio), firm size (log of total assets), and capital structure (Debt to Equity Ratio), while the dependent variable is firm value measured by the Price to Book Value (PBV). Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with SPSS. The results show that firm size has a significant positive effect on firm value, while liquidity and capital structure have no significant impact. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect firm value, with an Adjusted R² of 0.493. These findings highlight that effective asset management and optimal funding policies are key to enhancing the firm value of banking institutions in Indonesia.

Underpricing continues to be a prominent issue within the Indonesian capital market, as many firms conducting an Initial Public Offering (IPO) tend to set initial share prices below their subsequent market value. This research investigates the moderating role of underwriter reputation in the relationship between profitability, financial leverage, and earnings per share (EPS) on IPO underpricing among firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Utilizing a purposive sampling technique, the study analyzes data from 176 companies. The data are processed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the help of STATA software. The findings reveal that profitability, measured by return on assets (ROA), significantly influences underpricing. In contrast, financial leverage (proxied by the debt-to-equity ratio) and EPS show no statistically significant effect. Moreover, underwriter reputation is shown to moderate the negative impact of both ROA and EPS on underpricing but does not moderate the relationship between the debt-to-equity ratio and underpricing. These results offer valuable insights into signaling theory and information asymmetry, highlighting the importance of firm fundamentals and intermediary reputation in IPO pricing strategies. The study contributes to a better understanding for investors, issuers, and regulators involved in the IPO decision-making process.

Data from the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) indicate that the impact of COVID-19 in 2020, 2021, and peaking in 2022 led to a significant increase in merger and acquisition (M&A) activities. This trend suggests that M&A actions have become an essential strategy for sustaining and enhancing business performance. However, not all M&A activities result in success, making it crucial to understand the factors influencing their outcomes. This study aims to examine and provide empirical evidence on the effect of board size, institutional ownership, and firm size on merger and acquisition performance. Agency theory and signaling theory are employed as the theoretical frameworks to explain the relationships between the independent and dependent variables. The population of this study consists of publicly listed companies that conducted mergers and acquisitions between 2019 and 2023. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 150 samples. Data were collected through non-participant observation, and the data analysis technique applied was multiple linear regression. The results show that institutional ownership has a positive effect on merger and acquisition performance. In contrast, board size and firm size do not significantly influence M&A performance. These findings indicate that monitoring by institutional shareholders can enhance the effectiveness of strategic decision-making, while a larger organizational structure and firm size do not necessarily support post-merger integration success.

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.

This study aims to analyze the influence of intellectual capital, firm size, liquidity, and capital structure on firm value, with profitability as a mediating variable. The research focuses on consumer non-cyclicals sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression and the Sobel test to measure both direct and mediating effects. The results indicate that intellectual capital has a significant positive effect on profitability, while firm size and liquidity do not show a significant impact. Capital structure has a significant negative effect on profitability. Additionally, intellectual capital and capital structure significantly influence firm value, whereas firm size and liquidity do not. Profitability is proven to mediate the effect of intellectual capital and capital structure on firm value but does not mediate the relationship between firm size and liquidity and firm value. These findings support the Resource-Based Theory (RBT), which highlights the importance of managing strategic resources to create added value, and the Signaling Theory, which suggests that profitability and capital structure provide positive signals to investors regarding firm performance. The study implies that companies should prioritize managing intellectual capital and capital structure to enhance profitability, ultimately increasing firm value. Future research is recommended to extend the study period and consider external variables, such as macroeconomic conditions, for more comprehensive insights.

Financial distress refers to a company’s persistent inability to meet financial obligations, signaling severe monetary strain that precedes formal bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. This study investigates the impact of intellectual capital (VAICTM), operational capacity (TATO), capital structure (DER), and operating cash flow (OCF) on financial distress (Altman Z-Score), with profitability (ROA) serving as a mediating variable. The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in signaling theory, agency theory, and resource-based view theory. The study focuses on basic materials companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2019 and 2023. The study utilized criterion-based sampling to select qualified respondents. Secondary datasets were analyzed through panel regression and path analysis, with Eviews 12 as the computational tool. Key findings include: (1) intellectual capital and operating capacity demonstrate a statistically significant positive influence on profitability; (2) capital structure exerts a significant adverse impact on profitability; (3) operating cash flow exhibits no statistically discernible impact on profitability; (4) both operating cash flow and profitability are positively and significantly associated with increased financial distress; (5) capital structure displays a significant inverse relationship with financial distress severity; (6) intellectual capital and operating capacity show no statistically significant associations with direct financial distress prediction; (7) profitability partially mediates the influence of intellectual capital, operating capacity, and capital structure on financial distress; and (8) profitability does not serve as a mediating variable between operating cash flow and financial distress.

Bankruptcy is a condition where a business cannot operate effectively due to severe financial difficulties it is currently experiencing.  This research purposes to analyze the ratio of the Altman, Springate, and Grover models in analyzing bankruptcy in food and beverage corporations listed on the IDX with reference to signaling theory. The data analysis approach used are One Way Anova test and accuracy level test. Using 20 company samples with purposive sampling method. The final proceeds of the research explain that there are significant differences between the Altman and Springate models, significant differences between the Altman and Grover models, and no significant differences between the Springate and Grover models in predicting bankruptcy in food and beverage companies for the period 2019-2023. The very accurate prediction model was achieved by the Grover model.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure, firm growth, audit quality, and foreign ownership on firm value, proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), in consumer cyclical sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2018–2022. The analytical method used is panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM) approach. The results show that capital structure has a positive and significant effect on firm value. Conversely, firm growth, audit quality, and foreign ownership do not significantly affect firm value. These findings support signaling theory, which suggests that the use of debt within a reasonable threshold can boost investor confidence and enhance firm value. Therefore, it is recommended that corporate management focus on optimizing capital structure rather than relying solely on firm growth or external factors such as audit quality or foreign investors to improve firm value.

This research was conducted to analyze and understand the performance of the company PT Tjiwi Kimia Tbk with the Dupont system as an analytical tool. The data used in this study are secondary data, namely the company’s financial statements sourced through the IDX with the observation period 2020-2024. In the analysis conducted, it was found that the performance of the company PT Tjiwi Kimia in 2020-2024 was not good. This is because although the company showed a good ability to manage sales profitability (NPM) in several years and control the use of good debt (declining EM), the lack of efficient use of assets hindered the company’s ability to generate optimal returns for shareholders which resulted in a low ROE value. In signaling theory, a declining Equity Multiplier trend indicates a positive signal to investors regarding prudent debt management and more controllable financial risks. However, the low ROE value indicates a negative signal that the company needs to improve to increase investor confidence in profitability prospects.

Firm value is essential for business sustainability and serves as a key consideration for investors in assessing a company’s prospects. The enhancement of firm value is influenced by various factors observed by both internal and external parties. This study examines the partial effects of profitability, company growth, and capital structure on firm value. The research variables include Return on Assets (ROA) for profitability, Sales Growth for company growth, Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) for capital structure, and Price to Book Value (PBV) for firm value. A quantitative approach was employed using a sample of 25 technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2023 period, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that profitability and company growth have a negative effect on firm value, while capital structure has a positive effect. These results contradict signaling theory but support the trade-off theory. This research contributes both theoretically and practically to the field of accounting and serves as a reference for management and investors in making strategic decisions related to enhancing firm value.

Firm value represents the long-term goal of a company, reflecting the prosperity of its stakeholders. One factor indicated to influence firm value is corporate responsibility performance in managing business operational risks, particularly through the implementation and disclosure of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indonesian government allocated State Capital Participation (PMN) to affected state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which was expected to contribute to the revitalization of national economic recovery. This study aims to analyze the effect of ESG performance on firm value in both SOEs and non-SOEs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2023 period. Stakeholder theory and signaling theory are used as the theoretical frameworks for analyzing and interpreting the research findings. The sample consisted of 28 observations for SOEs and 152 for non-SOEs, selected using purposive sampling. Firm value was measured using the Tobin’s Q ratio, while ESG performance was assessed based on Refinitiv scores. The data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 29. The results show significant mean differences in environmental and social performance between SOEs and non-SOEs, while governance performance did not differ significantly. Social and governance performance had a significant positive effect on firm value in both SOEs and non-SOEs. However, environmental performance had a significantly positive effect only in non-SOEs and a significantly negative effect in SOEs. Thus, the environmental performance strategies implemented by non-SOEs could serve as valuable lessons for SOEs.

This research investigates the key factors influencing companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that is experiencing financial distress between the years 2021 to 2023. In this study, 353 data points were selected from the target population using purposive sampling. Three key financial ratios were utilized as indicators of financial distress: Profitability can be measured by Return on Assets (ROA), while the Current Ratio (CR) is used to measure liquidity. Meanwhile, The Logarithm of Natural to Total Assets (LnTA) is a metric for evaluating a company’s size.  Multiple regression analysis is performed utilizing SmartPLS 4.0 software to analyze the connection between these factors and the probability of experiencing financial distress. The findings indicate a significant negative association between liquidity (CR) and company size (LnTA) with financial distress. In contrast, profitability (ROA) demonstrates an insignificant negative correlation with financial distress. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing financial distress in Indonesia consumer cyclical companies employs signaling theory to interpret the relationships discovered.
