The Effect of Liquidity and Profitability on Firm Value at PT Adhi Karya (SOE) Public Listed Company During 2012–2023

Iman Lubis, Feria Marsha Hena — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study revisits the relevance of liquidity and profitability as financial indicators of firm value in the context of a state-owned enterprise (SOE). Focusing on PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk, a publicly listed construction SOE in Indonesia, the research covers the 2012–2023 period using a longitudinal approach. Liquidity is proxied by the Current Ratio (CR), profitability by Return on Assets (ROA), and firm value by the Price to Earnings Ratio (PER). Data were obtained from audited financial statements and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results show that CR and ROA have no significant partial or simultaneous effect on PER. These findings suggest that conventional financial ratios may not fully capture market valuation in SOEs, where performance is shaped by both commercial and public-policy objectives. This study contributes to understanding the limitations of traditional valuation models in politically influenced firms.

The Effect of Firm Characteristics, Political Connections, and Ownership Structure on Tax Avoidance: Evidence from Non-Cyclical Consumer Sector in Indonesia

Siti Hanah, Agmal Revin Febriansya, Nur Asmilia — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the effect of firm characteristics—profitability, leverage, and firm size—along with political connections and ownership structure (institutional and managerial ownership) on tax avoidance among non-cyclical consumer companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. Using a panel data approach with 45 firm-year observations and regression analysis via E-Views 12, the results reveal that profitability and leverage negatively influence tax avoidance. However, firm size, political connections, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership show no significant individual effect. Collectively, these factors have a statistically significant impact. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the multidimensional nature of tax avoidance behavior and its link to both internal and external corporate governance factors.

Intan Sari Budhiarjo, Mora Adelina Batubara, Sam Cay — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the effect of liquidity and capital structure on profitability at PT Siantar Top Tbk from 2013 to 2022. Using a quantitative approach and multiple regression analysis, liquidity is measured by the current ratio, capital structure by the debt-to-equity ratio, and profitability by the net profit margin. The findings show that liquidity does not have a significant partial effect on profitability, while capital structure has a significant negative impact. However, both variables simultaneously influence profitability significantly. The adjusted R² value of 86.9% indicates that these financial ratios strongly explain changes in profitability. This study highlights the importance of managing debt effectively while optimizing the use of liquid assets. The results provide practical insights for financial decision-making in the consumer goods sector.

The Influence of Financial Performance, Debt Level, and Sales Growth on Tax Avoidance in Indonesian Banking Companies (2019–2023)

Lina Tri Kartika, A Asrorudin — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the influence of financial performance, debt level, and sales growth on tax avoidance in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling to select 7 companies that met the criteria, resulting in 35 observations after removing outliers for normality. The data were analyzed using panel data regression with the Common Effect Model and processed using EViews 12. The findings show that financial performance has a significant negative effect on tax avoidance, while debt level and sales growth do not have significant effects. The adjusted R-squared value of 52.16% indicates that the independent variables explain more than half of the variation in tax avoidance. These results contribute to the understanding of tax avoidance behavior in the banking sector and offer insight for regulators in designing tax compliance policies.

This study aims to analyze the influence of business risk, investment decisions, and good corporate governance on firm value. The research was conducted using secondary data derived from financial statements of food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The independent variables are business risk, investment decisions, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and independent commissioners, while firm value serves as the dependent variable. Panel data regression is employed using EViews 12. The study finds that only investment decisions have a statistically significant and positive effect on firm value, aligning with signaling theory.

Financial Determinants of Firm Value in Indonesia's Energy Sector: The Role of Intellectual Capital, Sales Growth, and Firm Size

Intan Rahma Sari, Reni Astuti, Fateh Rizkiah Peshar — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the impact of intellectual capital, sales growth, and firm size on firm value in energy-sector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. Using panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM), 35 companies were selected through purposive sampling. Intellectual capital was measured using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC), while sales growth and firm size were proxied by revenue growth and total assets, respectively. Firm value was assessed using the Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio. None of the independent variables have a statistically significant effect on firm value, either partially or simultaneously. These findings contrast with prior studies and suggest that firm value in capital-intensive sectors may be more influenced by external factors such as market volatility or regulatory policies. The study recommends that future research integrate both internal and external determinants better to explain firm value dynamics in the energy industry.

Modeling Entrepreneurial Intentions among University Students: A Behavioral Finance Perspective Using PLS-SEM

Whinarko Juli Prijanto, Retno Sugiharti, Yustirania Septiani — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the factors influencing entrepreneurial interest among university students, focusing on the roles of self-esteem, entrepreneurial knowledge, and self-efficacy. Using a structural modeling approach, entrepreneurial interest is analyzed as the dependent variable influenced by these psychological and cognitive constructs. A key aim of the study is to examine the mediating role of entrepreneurial knowledge between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial interest. The results reveal that both self-esteem and entrepreneurial knowledge have direct and significant effects on entrepreneurial interest. Notably, self-efficacy does not influence entrepreneurial interest directly but exerts its effect indirectly through entrepreneurial knowledge, indicating a full mediation. This finding challenges the assumption that self-belief alone is sufficient to foster entrepreneurial motivation and highlights the importance of knowledge acquisition as a cognitive pathway toward entrepreneurial engagement. The study offers practical implications for improving entrepreneurship education—particularly in developing strategies that integrate confidence-building with knowledge-focused learning.

Joint Effects of Liquidity, Leverage, and Asset Efficiency on Profitability: Evidence from PT Akasha Wira (2014–2024)

Reny Lestari, Ifa Nurmasari — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the effect of the Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on the Net Profit Margin (NPM) of PT Akasha Wira International Tbk from 2014 to 2024. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, secondary data from the company’s audited annual reports were analyzed through descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing (t-test and F-test) with IBM SPSS 29.0. The findings reveal that CR, DER, and TATO individually have no significant effect on NPM. However, when tested simultaneously, the three variables have a significant influence on NPM. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.904 indicates that these variables explain 90.4% of the variation in NPM, while 9.6% is attributed to other factors not included in the model.

Profitability and Valuation Ratios as Predictors of Stock Prices: Contemporary Evidence from Indonesia’s Capital Market

Hendri Gunawan, Ria Elshinta — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the impact of profitability and valuation ratios, as measured by Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Price-to-Book Value (PBV), on the stock prices of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Motivated by inconsistent findings in prior research, this study employs purposive sampling based on 12 annual observations and applies multiple linear regression, along with classical assumption tests. Results show that NPM positively and significantly affects stock prices, while PBV has a positive but statistically insignificant effect at the 5% level. The adjusted R² of 0.730 indicates that 73% of stock price variation is explained by the two variables, with 27% influenced by other factors. Findings confirm the role of profitability as a strong predictor of stock prices in Indonesia’s capital market and provide practical implications for investors and corporate managers in improving firm market value.
