Abstract

This study examines the correlation between fundamental financial metrics and stock returns of Indonesia's LQ45 Index over a 10-year period (2014-2023). The study aims to provide actionable insights for investors and companies by identifying the most critical financial metrics in predicting stock price movements. By analyzing data from 16 consistently listed Indonesian companies, the study focuses on stocks that have consistently maintained their position in the index over the past decade, a gap that has been underexplored in prior research. The study employs various statistical tests to validate the regression model, with hypothesis testing conducted through t-test and F-tests to determine the significance of financial ratios on stock returns. The analysis shows that Return on Equity, Price to Earnings Ratio (PER), Price to Book Value (PBV), Free Cash Flow per Share to Price (PFCF), and Dividend Payout Rate (DPR) have a significant positive effect on stock return. The research recommends that retail investors prioritize the PFCF ratio when evaluating potential stock investments. Transparency in financial reporting is essential, with companies encouraged to provide accurate and comprehensive financial statements, including clear reporting of key financial metrics, to build investor confidence.
