Stock performance reflects a company's financial health and market perception, measured through stock returns. However, the extent to which the pandemic affected the stock performance of conventional banking companies in Indonesia remains underexplored, creating a critical research gap. This study aims to analyze and compare the stock performance of conventional banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Secondary data were collected from the stock returns of banking companies, covering the pre-pandemic period (2017–2019) and the pandemic period (2020–2022).
