Abstract

This Study aims to determine the effect of Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity and liquidity as measured by the Current Ratio (CR) on profitability as measured by Return On Assets (ROA) at PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk for the 2015-2024 period. The method used is quantitative with a descriptive-associative approach. The research population consists of the sustainability reports and financial statements of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk for the 2015-2024 period, with samples including emission intensity reports, income statements, and statements of financial position over 10 years. Data analysis uses descriptive statistical tests, classic assumption tests, multiple linear regression tests, correlation coefficient tests, coefficient of determination tests, and hypothesis testing using SPSS Software version 20. The results show that partially, Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity has a positive and significant effect on ROA (t-count 3.886 > t-table 2.36462; sig. 0.006 < 0.05). Current Ratio also has a positive and significant effect on ROA (t-count 6.772 > t-table 2.36462; sig. 0.000 < 0.05). Simultaneously, Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity and Current Ratio have a significant effect on ROA (f-count 64,254 > f-table 4,74; sig. 0.000 < 0.05). The R Square value of 0.948 indicates that both variables contribute 94.8% to ROA, while the remaining 5.2% is influenced by other factors.

Abstract

Abstract: The pharmaceutical and herbal industry in Indonesia has continued to develop, creating opportunities and increasing competition among firms. This study aims to examine the effects of Growth Opportunity and profitability on firm value at PT Industri Jamu dan Farmasi Sido Muncul Tbk during 2016–2025. A quantitative associative research design was employed. The population comprised of the company's annual financial reports, with ten annual reports selected as the sample using purposive sampling. Secondary data were collected through documentation, literature review, and internet searching. Growth Opportunity was measured using Asset Growth, profitability using Return on Assets (ROA), and firm value using Price to Book Value (PBV). The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 through descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination, F-test, and t-test. The results show that Growth Opportunity and profitability simultaneously affect firm value (F = 8.309; p = 0.014). Partially, Growth Opportunity significantly affects firm value (β = 0.213; p = 0.034), while profitability also has a significant effect (β = 0.291; p = 0.005). The study concludes that both factors are significant determinants of firm value.

Abstract

Digital marketing through Instagram is an important strategy for automotive service businesses, while brand image can influence consumer purchasing decisions. This study aims to analyze the influence of Instagram social media marketing and brand image partially or simultaneously on purchasing decisions at the Pro Lc Racing Team Workshop in South Tangerang. The study used a quantitative method with an associative approach. The study population was 732 consumers for the period July–December 2025, with 88 respondents selected using purposive sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data were collected through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 26 through validity, reliability, classical assumptions, regression, correlation, coefficient of determination, t-test, and F-test tests. The results showed that social media marketing did not have a significant partial effect on purchasing decisions (t = -0.305; p = 0.761), while brand image had a positive and significant effect (t = 14.944; p = 0.000). Simultaneously, both variables had a significant effect with F = 256.854 and p = 0.000 and explained 85.8% of the variation in purchasing decisions. Thus, brand image became a more dominant factor in purchasing decisions

Abstract

This research is motivated by changes in the financial condition of PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk from 2015 to 2025 and the differences in research results regarding the effect of financial leverage and operational efficiency on profitability. This study aims to analyze the effect of Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on Return on Assets (ROA), both partially and simultaneously. The study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression. The population and sample are the annual financial statements of PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk for the period 2015 to 2025, with 11 observations. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, correlation coefficients, coefficients of determination, t-tests, and F-tests. The results show that DAR and TATO do not have a significant effect on ROA, either partially or simultaneously. In conclusion, these two variables are not yet the main factors in explaining changes in the company's ROA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Digital Customer Experience, Online Interaction, and Product Benefit on Impulsive Buying through Emotional Value among Jiniso women's fashion consumers on Shopee Mall in Sidoarjo Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The results show that Digital Customer Experience, Online Interaction, and Product Benefit have positive and significant effects on Emotional Value and Impulsive Buying. Emotional Value also has a positive and significant effect on Impulsive Buying. Furthermore, Emotional Value partially mediates the relationships of Digital Customer Experience, Online Interaction, and Product Benefit with Impulsive Buying. All ten proposed hypotheses (H1–H10) were supported. These findings indicate that positive digital experiences, effective online interactions, and perceived product benefits contribute to emotional value, which is associated with consumers' impulsive buying behavior

Abstract

The capital market plays a vital role in the economy, where stock prices serve as a primary indicator reflecting corporate performance. The property sector, such as PT Bumi Serpong Damai Tbk (BSDE), is highly sensitive to macroeconomic dynamics, particularly interest rate and inflation fluctuations that directly impact capital costs, mortgage financing, and public purchasing power. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of interest rates and inflation on the stock price of PT Bumi Serpong Damai Tbk for the 2016–2025 period. An associative quantitative approach was employed using a saturated sampling technique based on ten years of monthly secondary data (119 observations). Analytical methods include classic assumption tests, Cochrane-Orcutt autocorrelation correction, multiple linear regression, correlation and determination coefficients, F-test, and t-test. The results reveal that interest rates and inflation simultaneously exert a significant effect on BSDE stock prices, contributing 10.5%. Partially, both interest rates and inflation significantly influence stock prices. This study concludes that macroeconomic conditions are critical external factors that must be closely monitored by investors and corporate management.

Abstract

The company's financial performance needs to be considered to determine the company's ability to generate returns on capital used. This study aims to determine the effect of Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) at PT Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk for the period 2015 to 2025. The study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports. The population and sample of the study consist of the company's annual financial reports for 11 years with a total sampling technique. Data were collected through documentation, literature studies, and internet research, then analyzed using SPSS version 25 through the classical assumption test, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination, as well as the t-test and F-test. The results of the study show that NPM has a positive and significant effect on ROCE, while TATO has no significant effect on ROCE. Simultaneously, NPM and TATO have no significant effect on ROCE. In conclusion, the ability to generate net profit from sales is a more influential factor on ROCE than asset turnover in the study period.
