Purpose - The aim of this study is to investigate how Return on Asset (ROA) and Earnings per Share (EPS) impact stock prices, while considering dividend policy as a mediating factor.Method - This research uses 6 samples of pharmaceutical companies listed on ISSI during the period of 2017-2021 using purposive sampling technique. The data analysis used in this research is SEM-PLS with the help of WarpPLS software version 7.0.Result - The findings indicate that dividend policy does not act as a mediator between ROA and share prices; however, it does serve as a mediator between EPS and share prices. The direct effects reveal that ROA has a non-significant positive impact on dividend policy, whereas EPS demonstrates a significant positive influence on dividend policy. Both ROA and dividend policy exhibit a significant negative impact on share prices, whereas EPS has a positive and significant influence on share prices. In addition, this research reveals that dividend policy is unable to mediate the relationship between ROA and share prices but is proven to mediate the relationship between EPS and stock prices.Implication - The concept of signaling theory in general can still be used in carrying out financial analysis even when anomalies occur in economic conditions.Originality - This research is research conducted on pharmaceutical companies which are different from other companies which have experienced negative impacts, but pharmaceutical companies have experienced an increase in share prices and profits during the pandemic.

Abstract

Purpose - The objective of this research is to present a summary and examination of the impact of investment returns, claims, and premiums on asset growth in Indonesian sharia life insurance firms from 2018 to 2022.Method - This study uses quantitative methods. The study's population consists of sharia life insurance companies that are registered with the OJK, and its sample consists of seven such companies that provide complete financial reports through 2022.

Therefore, claim management and optimization of investment returns are very important to encourage the growth of company assets.Implication - These findings have implications from the results of this investigation, which show that a company is better and can be considered healthy if its assets are larger.Originality - This study is the first to employ profit-sharing finance as an intervening variable.

Abstract

Purpose - This research aims to evaluate the impact of strategic similarity on M&A performance in banking within OIC countries. The study investigates how strategic alignment influences M&A outcomes and explores the role of cultural fit, cross-border factors, and capital adequacy in shaping post-merger success.Method - A quantitative approach is used in this study, using secondary data from annual reports of banking institutions in OIC member countries that experienced mergers and acquisitions from 2013 to 2022. This study uses 38 M&A transaction data obtained from Bank Focus. The hypothesis is tested using a partial least squares structural equation model.Result - The finding reveals that the strategic similarity factor could not explain the success of M&A performance for both Islamic and conventional banks. Cultural misalignment and cross-border regulatory issues are key factors affecting post-merger success. The one-year observation period was too short, but capital adequacy was found to influence performance significantly.Implication - Theoretically, models of M&A success should include cultural and regulatory dimensions and consider a longer-term view. Managers should prioritise cultural integration, address regulatory challenges, and align capital adequacy strategies to improve post-merger outcomes and resilience.Originality - This research discussed the factors determining successful M&A performance in banks in OIC countries. The findings can be used to develop insights into mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector.

Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies have proven to be more stable than conventional ones during geopolitical crises.Implication - The findings offer valuable insights for investors seeking safe-haven assets during periods of economic uncertainty. Gold-backed cryptocurrencies present a more stable investment option compared to conventional cryptocurrencies, especially for investors adhering to Shariah principles.Originality - This research highlights the stability of Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies during geopolitical events, contributing to the understanding of safe-haven assets and offering practical implications for portfolio diversification and risk management.
