Gede Putra — 2024-04-18

Investment is no longer limited to the upper class; it now includes participation from the lower middle class as well. This research was conducted at the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a sample size of 45. The sample comprised 15 companies with a three-year observation period. Based on the outcomes of this research, researchers can draw the following conclusions: Investment Opportunity Set (IOS) and firm size exhibit a positive influence on financial performance. However, company performance also serves as a mediator in the relationship between firm size and its impact on dividend policy. The practical implication for investors is to take into account variables that have been demonstrated to influence dividend policy when making investment decisions, with the aim of maximizing profits from dividends. For companies, it is essential to recognize that these variables, particularly the allure of dividends, can become a compelling attraction for the company itself.

This study investigates the influence of age, size and sustainability reporting comprehension of Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) on their performance. From a certain population, 40 MSMEs were successfully collected as samples. Logistic regression was employed as the data analysis method. The results reveal that the age do not affect performance, meanwhile size positively affects performance. Moreover, it is found that sustainability reporting comprehension negatively affects performance of MSMEs. The results of this study contribute to bridge the literature gap in the scope of sustainability reporting for MSMEs. In addition, it offers support for the adoption of sustainability reporting standards for MSMEs as a specific sector.

Mukhlasin Mukhlasin — 2024-04-18

This academic work intends to obtain empirical evidence about the signaling perspective on real earnings management to describe cash holdings. The theoretical contradictions of real earnings management reflect management's opportunistic attitude and optimistic attitude which signifies positive earnings. The research design is a quantitative study with a sample of 216 units of analysis. Secondary research data was obtained from the Indonesian stock exchange for 2019-2021. Multiple linear regression testing results prove that real earnings management gives a positive signal about cash holding. Auditor industry specialization which reflects audit quality is proven to strengthen the relationship between real earnings management and cash holding. This contributes to the realm of signal theory as an alternative explanation of the relationship between real earnings management and cash holding. In addition, the role of industry-specialized auditors is a driving force in strengthening positive signals that reflect alignment between management policies and cash-holding performance.

THE IMPLICATION OF PROFITABILITY AS A MODERATING IN THE RELATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE TO MARKET REACTION

Anna Widiatami — 2024-04-18

This study aims to analyze and empirically evaluate the effect of financial and non-financial information submitted through annual reports on the market reaction, proxied by trading volume activity. A study was conducted in 103 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the 2017-2021 period with 515 annual reports. The panel data moderating regression results show that environmental certification and financial performance, measured by Sales growth, market value added, and Tobin's Q Ratio, do not affect the market reaction. However, return on equity as a Profitability measurement can strengthen the relationship between environmental certification and sales growth in trading volume activity. This study implies that a high return on equity in companies attracts an investor more than environmental certification. Besides, it could change the confidence of the investor to invest in a company that has been obtaining ISO 14001 certificates.
