Harga emas dunia merupakan faktor eksternal yang berpotensi memengaruhi kinerja keuangan perusahaan pertambangan emas, namun hubungan keduanya tidak selalu bersifat linear mengingat kompleksitas struktur bisnis dan biaya perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komparatif tren harga emas dunia dengan profitabilitas PT Aneka Tambang Tbk periode 2021–2025 menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan komparatif tren. Data bersumber dari laporan keuangan konsolidasian audited PT Aneka Tambang Tbk tahun 2021–2025 serta data harga emas rata-rata tahunan yang diterbitkan oleh World Gold Council, dengan indikator profitabilitas Return on Assets (ROA) dan Net Profit Margin (NPM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga emas mengalami kenaikan akseleratif dari USD 1.793,38 menjadi USD 3.518,43 per troy ounce dengan pertumbuhan kumulatif 96,2%, sementara profitabilitas perusahaan bergerak fluktuatif dengan puncak tertinggi pada 2025. Analisis komparatif terhadap empat fase pergerakan menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak konsisten dan non-linear, di mana dua fase bergerak searah, satu fase berlawanan, dan satu fase bersifat parsial, yang disebabkan oleh fluktuasi volume penjualan, ekspansi aset yang belum produktif, dan lonjakan beban pokok pembelian logam mulia dari pihak ketiga. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa analisis profitabilitas perusahaan pertambangan perlu mempertimbangkan struktur biaya, strategi pengadaan, dan keputusan investasi secara simultan, tidak cukup bertumpu pada pergerakan harga komoditas semata.

This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of promotional strategies, risk perception, and resale price perception on public interest in gold investment at PT Pegadaian Dompu Branch. The research employed a quantitative explanatory approach involving 96 respondents selected from a population of 50,000 customers using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The findings reveal that promotional strategies have a positive and significant influence on public interest in gold investment, indicating that effective promotional activities encourage customers to invest. Risk perception also shows a positive and significant effect, suggesting that customers with better understanding and management of investment risks are more inclined to invest in gold. In addition, resale price perception positively and significantly affects investment interest, reflecting the importance of customers' confidence in obtaining favorable resale values. Simultaneous testing using the F-test confirms that the three independent variables jointly have a significant effect on public interest in gold investment. The coefficient of determination shows an Adjusted R Square value of 33.9%, meaning that promotional strategies, risk perception, and resale price perception explain 33.9% of the variation in investment interest, while the remaining 66.1% is influenced by other factors not included in this research model.

Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penentuan harga pokok produksi (HPP) dan harga jual kompetitif kue tar menggunakan metode Full Costing pada Toko Kue Hum’aisyah Cake di Kabupaten Dompu, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Data primer diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara langsung, sedangkan data sekunder bersumber dari laporan keuangan usaha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode Full Costing menghasilkan perhitungan HPP yang lebih akurat dibandingkan metode sederhana yang diterapkan perusahaan selama ini. Total biaya produksi dengan metode sederhana tercatat sebesar Rp55.100.250 (Rp185.000/unit), sedangkan metode Full Costing menghasilkan Rp57.395.250 (Rp195.000/unit). Terdapat selisih sebesar Rp2.295.000 secara total atau Rp10.000 per unit. Selisih ini terjadi karena metode sederhana milik perusahaan belum memperhitungkan seluruh unsur biaya produksi, khususnya biaya overhead pabrik secara rinci.

Sosis merupakan produk olahan populer di berbagai kalangan masyarakat yang sebagian besar menggunakan bahan baku daging sapi dan ayam yang harganya relatif mahal, hal tersebut  mendorong perlunya diversifikasi menggunakan sumber protein lain, seperti ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penambahan pure kedelai terhadap karakteristik fisikokimia dan sensori sosis ikan lumi-lumi (Harpodon nehereus). Metode penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) faktor tunggal dengan enam taraf perlakuan perbandingan ikan lumi-lumi dan pure kedelai, yaitu K0 (300g:0g), K1 (250g:50g), K2 (200g:100g), K3 (150g:150g), K4 (100g:200g), dan K5 (50g:250g). Parameter yang diuji meliputi kadar air, abu, lemak, protein, karbohidrat, tekstur (penetrometer), dan uji organoleptik (hedonik). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pure kedelai berpengaruh nyata terhadap seluruh parameter. Seiring meningkatnya proporsi pure kedelai, kadar air menurun (72,60% hingga 66,66%), kadar lemak menurun (5,14% hingga 0,37%), dan kadar protein menurun (7,17% hingga 4,37%). Sebaliknya, kadar abu meningkat (1,27% hingga 1,86%), kadar karbohidrat meningkat (13,80% hingga 26,72%), dan nilai tekstur meningkat (17,39 N/s hingga 18,48 N/s) yang mengindikasikan sosis semakin kenyal. Berdasarkan uji sensori, perlakuan K3 (150g ikan : 150g kedelai) merupakan formulasi terbaik yang paling disukai panelis dengan skor tertinggi pada atribut warna (3,60), aroma (3,48), tekstur (3,44), rasa (3,28), dan penerimaan keseluruhan (3,62). Secara umum penambahan pure kedelai efektif meningkatkan karakteristik fisikokimia dan penerimaan sensori sosis ikan lumi-lumi.  

This study aims to analyze the influence of fundamental and technical factors on stock price movements in the Indonesian capital market. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data obtained from various scientific literature sources as well as stock price data from the Investing platform. The results indicate that there are significant variations in stock prices among companies, reflecting differences in fundamental performance such as profitability, capital structure, and company prospects. In addition, from a technical perspective, stock price movements exhibit dynamic fluctuations, including both increases and decreases, influenced by market sentiment and investor responses to available information. The varying levels of stock volatility also indicate differences in investment risk. Trading volume plays an important role as a key indicator in technical analysis, where high volume reflects strong liquidity and investor interest, while low volume indicates limited market activity. Overall, the findings suggest that fundamental and technical factors have a complementary influence in determining stock price movements. Therefore, investors are advised to integrate both approaches in making investment decisions in order to achieve optimal returns while minimizing risk. This study is expected to contribute to the development of capital market research and serve as a reference for investors and academics.

The stock market is a place to buy shares for profit. In Indonesia, energy stocks are highly unpredictable because global commodity prices change constantly. This study examines what affected energy stock returns in 2024, focusing on trading volume, price swings, company profits, and cash flow. Using financial reports and statistical analysis, all these factors were tested together and individually. The results show that combined, all these factors do affect stock returns. However, when looked at one by one, only the company's net profit truly matters to investors. On the other hand, busy trading, daily price swings, and cash flow have no impact at all. In fact, all the factors studied only account for 14% of stock return movements, while the remaining 86% is driven by other outside forces. In conclusion, for those looking to invest in energy stocks, the most important thing to watch is the company's ability to generate net profit, rather than just looking at how busy daily transactions are in the market.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh inflasi, suku bunga Federal Funds Rate (The Fed), dan pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia terhadap Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) selama periode 2005–2025. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan memanfaatkan data sekunder berbentuk deret waktu (time series) tahunan. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan metode regresi linear berganda dengan bantuan perangkat lunak IBM SPSS Statistics. Sebelum dilakukan estimasi model, terlebih dahulu dilakukan pengujian asumsi klasik yang meliputi uji normalitas, multikolinearitas, autokorelasi, dan heteroskedastisitas untuk memastikan bahwa model regresi memenuhi persyaratan statistik. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan melalui uji F untuk menguji pengaruh variabel independen secara simultan, uji t untuk menganalisis pengaruh masing-masing variabel secara parsial, serta koefisien determinasi (R²) untuk mengukur kemampuan model dalam menjelaskan variasi IHSG. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model regresi telah memenuhi seluruh asumsi klasik sehingga layak digunakan dalam analisis. Pengujian simultan membuktikan bahwa inflasi, suku bunga The Fed, dan pertumbuhan ekonomi secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap IHSG. Sementara itu, hasil uji parsial menunjukkan bahwa hanya suku bunga The Fed yang berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap IHSG, sedangkan inflasi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan secara statistik. Nilai koefisien determinasi sebesar 52,4% mengindikasikan bahwa variasi IHSG dapat dijelaskan oleh ketiga variabel independen dalam model, sedangkan 47,6% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar penelitian. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi bagi investor maupun pembuat kebijakan dalam memahami pengaruh kondisi makroekonomi terhadap dinamika pasar modal Indonesia.

MSMEs play a significant role in supporting regional economic development. However, many business owners still face challenges in financial management, particularly in maintaining simple bookkeeping, calculating business costs, and determining appropriate selling prices. These challenges were identified in Trend Accessories and Gift, a trading business, and Si Fang Yuan Dimsum, a culinary business, both located in Batam City. The two partner MSMEs had not implemented systematic financial records, resulting in business cost information that was not optimally utilized for pricing decisions. This community service program aimed to enhance the partners’ understanding of simple bookkeeping and business cost calculation as the basis for determining selling prices. The program employed a Participatory Action Research approach, consisting of problem identification, planning, training implementation, practical mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation. The training utilized a simple bookkeeping module and a Microsoft Excel-based bookkeeping template using the partners’ actual business transaction data. The results demonstrated that both partners gained a better understanding of preparing simple bookkeeping records, identifying business cost components according to the characteristics of their businesses, calculating the Cost of Goods Sold for the trading business and business costs for the culinary business, and utilizing cost information to establish more rational selling prices. Furthermore, the program increased the partners’ awareness of the importance of systematic financial recordkeeping as an essential component of sound business financial management. Overall, the training and mentoring activities contributed to strengthening the financial management capacity of the partner MSMEs and supported more effective, accountable, and sustainable business decision-making.
