The purposive sampling method was chosen, and a total of sixty firms were selected for the final sample of this study. This study adopts generalized least squares of panel data analysis using STATA version 13 software.Result — The results revealed that return on equity, debt-equity ratio, price-to-book value, earnings growth, and dividend payout significantly impact the price-earnings ratio (PE) and thus become significant determinants of the price-earnings ratio (PE). On the other hand, market return and firm size showed no significant influence on the price-earnings ratio.Contribution — This study's academic contribution is its specific focus on the Indonesia Basic Industry (IDXBASIC) and exploration of the factors influencing the Price-Earning Ratio (P/E ratio) within this sector, filling a significant gap in the literature and offering valuable insights for investors, policymakers, and market participants.]]>
