The Influence of Return On Assets (ROA), Debt To Equity Ratio (DER), Current Ratio (CR), Debt To Asset Ratio (DAR) On Stock Returns In Food And Beverage Sector Manufacturing Companies Listed On The Indonesia Stock Exchange For The Period 2018 - 2022

This study seeks to examine the impact of Return on Asset (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Current Ratio (CR), and Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) on Stock Return in manufacturing companies within the food and beverage industry sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022. The study will analyze the relationship between these variables both individually and simultaneously. The approach employed in this study is a quantitative methodology. From 2018 to 2019, 28 food and beverage industry production enterprises comprised 80 samples. This study utilized purposive sampling and employed various statistical tests, including the partial t-test, simultaneous F-test, classical assumption test, and adjusted R-square test. The test results indicate a significant relationship between Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Sales (RS), as evidenced by the p-value of 0.003, which is less than the significance level of 0.05. (2) In the SPSS T-test, a sig value of 0.499>0.05 indicates no significant influence of DER on RS. (3) The results of the SPSS testing using the T-test show that the significance value is 0.484, more significant than 0.05. This condition indicates that CR does not have a significant influence on RS. (4) Based on the findings of the statistical significance test (p-value of 0.134>0.05), it may be inferred that DAR does not have a significant influence on RS. The calculated value of f, 4.664, is greater than the critical value of 2.49, and the significance level of 0.003 is less than the threshold of 0.05. Therefore, we can infer that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. The Adjusted R Square value is 0.194, indicating that the independent variables can explain 19.4% of the variation in Y (RS). Other factors influence the remaining 80.6% of the variation

THE INFLUENCE OF MODERATION LEVERAGE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROFITABILITY AND FIRM VALUE: Empirical Study of Firms listed on the IDX, 2019-2021 period

Capital market investors anticipate their investments will appreciate and progress in line with their investment objectives, specifically to enhance investor well-being. The investment value appreciates when the issuer's share price or firm value rises. Several variables can impact the value of a company, with profitability and leverage being two significant influences. Prior studies have presented empirical proof that a firm's profitability and leverage can impact its value. This study examines the moderating impact of leverage on the association between profitability and company value. The study employed data from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2019 and 2021. Currently, there are no studies that have investigated the impact of leverage as a moderating factor on the relationship between profitability and firm value. The data analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between profitability and firm valuation. Significant leverage levels have a considerable negative effect on a corporation's value. The interaction variable of profitability and leverage has a minimal effect on the relationship between profitability and firm value. The test results suggest that leverage modifies, diminishing the link between profitability and company value. However, it is essential to note that leverage is not demonstrated to be a substantial moderating variable in this relationship.Investors in the capital market hope that their investments will grow and develop in accordance with investment objectives, namely providing investor welfare. The investment value grows when the share price or firm value of the issuer increases. Many factors can influence company value, two factors of which are profitability and leverage. Previous research has provided empirical evidence that profitability and leverage can influence company value. This research wants to test the moderating effect of leverage on the relationship between profitability and firm value. The research population and sample used data from issuers on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2021 period. At the time this research was conducted, no research had been found that discussed the position of leverage as a moderating variable in the relationship between profitability and firm value. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that profitability has a significant positive effect on company value. Leverage has a significant negative effect on company value. The interaction variable profitability and leverage insignificantly weakens the relationship between profitability and firm value. The results of this test can be concluded that leverage moderates, insignificantly weakens the relationship between profitability and company value, so that leverage is not proven to be a moderating variable in the relationship between profitability and company value
