Abstract

This research aims to address the lack of existing literature on the correlation between dividend policy and stock performance in the banking industry. This paper examines the intervention mechanisms that mediate the relationship between dividend policy and stock returns, with a specific focus on profitability and liquidity as determining factors. This research uses a quantitative approach by collecting secondary data from annual reports of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and company websites, as well as a sample of 13 banking companies. According to the research findings, profitability has a notable positive impact on dividend policy, whereas liquidity has a significant negative impact. Nevertheless, both profitability and liquidity do not directly impact stock returns. Dividend policy does not directly impact stock returns. The data suggest that the link between these factors is not linear, and the dividend policy variable does not operate as a mediator for the impact of profitability or liquidity on stock returns. These findings suggest that it is important to consider other factors that may affect the relationship between dividend policy and stock returns. Additionally, it highlights the significance of utilizing diverse and knowledge-based investment strategies to maximize shareholder value in the context of the capital market.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of managerial ownership as a primary internal governance mechanism in moderating the impact of growth dynamics on firm profitability within a capital-intensive industry. Focusing on Indonesian energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2022–2024, the study investigates the effects of the Investment Opportunity Set (IOS) and Asset Growth (AG) on financial performance (ROA) and tests Managerial Ownership (MOWN) as a moderating variable. Using a balanced panel of 39 firms (117 firm-year observations) and applying moderated regression analysis within a panel-data framework, the estimation indicates that IOS is negatively and significantly associated with ROA, suggesting that higher market-implied growth opportunities coincide with lower contemporaneous profitability in the sampled period. In contrast, AG shows a positive and significant effect on ROA, implying that realized asset expansion is, on average, associated with improved profitability. Managerial ownership does not exhibit a significant direct effect on ROA, however it plays a contingent role through interaction effects. Specifically, MOWN weakens the negative IOS–ROA relationship and dampens the positive AG–ROA relationship, indicating that managerial equity stakes condition how growth expectations and realized expansion translate into profitability. These findings extend agency-based insights on investment efficiency in high CAPEX settings and offer practical implications for boards and investors regarding the governance conditions under which growth becomes more or less profitable.
