Abstract

This research is motivated by fluctuations in the profitability performance of PT Mayora Indah Tbk as well as changes in capital structure and asset efficiency during the 2011-2025 period. This study aims to analyze the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on Net Profit Margin (NPM), both partially and simultaneously. The study uses a quantitative approach with an associative method. The population and sample are the annual financial statements of PT Mayora Indah Tbk for the 2011-2025 period, with 15 observations. Secondary data were collected through documentation and literature studies, then analyzed using SPSS 25 through descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, correlation, coefficient of determination, as well as t-test and F-test. The results of the study indicate that DER has no significant effect on NPM, TATO has no significant effect on NPM, and DER and TATO simultaneously have no significant effect on NPM. In conclusion, capital structure and asset efficiency have not been the main determinants of PT Mayora Indah Tbk's profitability during the study period.

Abstract

The financial performance of PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk fluctuated during the 2011-2025 period, especially in the efficiency of asset use, debt levels, and profitability. This study aims to analyze the effect of Total Asset Turnover (TATO) and Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) on Return on Assets (ROA), both partially and simultaneously. The study uses a quantitative approach with an associative research type. The population and sample consist of the annual financial statements of PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk during 2011-2025, totaling 15 observations. Secondary data were collected through documentation and analyzed using SPSS 25 with descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, correlation, coefficient of determination, t-test, and F-test. The results show that TATO has a positive but insignificant effect on ROA, while DAR has a negative and significant effect. Simultaneously, TATO and DAR have a significant effect on ROA. In conclusion, the debt level is a more determining factor in company profitability than the efficiency of individual asset use

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing use of digital distribution channels and social media in the development of culinary MSMEs, while Cireng Isi Gembul still faces delivery constraints, limited platform reach, and digital promotion optimization. This study aims to analyze distribution constraints, the effectiveness of distribution channels, and the most effective digital platforms in reaching the target market. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Six research informants, consisting of one owner, two employees, and three customers, were selected based on their involvement and experience in business activities. The research instrument was an interview guide with the researcher as the main instrument, supported by observation and documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively and used SWOT analysis and source triangulation. The results showed that ShopeeFood, GoFood, and GrabFood were quite effective in supporting distribution, but there were still obstacles in communication, network, service radius, and delivery delays. TikTok was the most effective platform for reaching new consumers, while Instagram functioned as an information medium and a delivery platform as a means of transaction. In conclusion, the SO strategy is most appropriate for optimizing business strengths and opportunities through strengthening digital marketing, product innovation, and expanding distribution.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loans (NPL), and Net Interest Margin (NIM) on Return on Assets (ROA) at PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the 2011–2025 period. This study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data. The methodology used includes descriptive statistics and classical assumption tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that (1) there is no effect of CAR on ROA, as indicated by the calculated T-value (-0.523) and a significance level >0.05. (2) NPL has an effect on ROA, as indicated by the calculated T-value (-4.050) and a significance level < 0.05. (3) There is no effect of NIM on ROA, as indicated by the calculated T-value (2.175) and a significance level > 0.05. (4) There is an effect of CAR, NPL, and NIM on ROA, as indicated by the calculated F-value (9.383) > table F-value (3.587) with a significance level 0,002< 0.05. This indicates that the combined contribution of CAR, NPL, and NIM to ROA is 64%. The remaining 36% is influenced by other variables not included in this study.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk over the period 2016–2025 through liquidity, solvency, profitability, and activity ratios using the Trend Index, Trend Least Square, industry standard comparison, and Signaling Theory approaches. The data employed are secondary data in the form of annual financial statements of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk for the period 2016–2025. This research is classified as quantitative descriptive. The findings indicate that the company's financial performance tends to decline. Liquidity ratios (Current Ratio and Quick Ratio) fluctuate with a downward trend and consistently remain below industry standards, implying that the ability to meet short-term obligations is not optimal. Solvency ratios (Debt to Asset Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio) exhibit an upward trend and exceed industry standards, indicating high reliance on debt and increasing financial risk. Profitability ratios (Net Profit Margin, Return on Equity, and Return on Assets) fluctuate with a downward trend, reflecting a weakening ability to generate profits from sales, assets, and equity. Activity ratios (Total Asset Turnover and Inventory Turnover) also show a declining trend, where TATO falls below the industry standard in 2025 and ITO consistently remains below the standard, suggesting that asset utilization and inventory management are not yet optimal. Overall, the results of Trend Index and Trend Least Square analyzes reveal a consistent pattern: a decline in liquidity, profitability, and activity, alongside an increase in solvency. From the perspective of Signaling Theory, these findings provide a negative signal to investors, creditors, and potential investors regarding the company's financial condition and prospects.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship of Capital Structure, Profitability, and Asset Growth with Firm Value at PT Mayora Indah Tbk in Tangerang for the 2016–2025 period. This quantitative study used saturated sampling of the company's annual financial reports for ten years. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests, simple and multiple linear regression, correlation analysis, coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing using t-test and F-test with SPSS version 27. The results show that Capital Structure measured by Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) has a significant relationship with Firm Value (t=2.752; p=0.025), with an individual R² of 48.6%. Profitability measured by Gross Profit Margin (GPM) does not have a significant relationship with Firm Value (t=1.337; p=0.218), with an individual R² of 18.3%. Asset Growth also does not have a significant relationship with Firm Value (t=0.741; p=0.480), with an individual R² of 6.4%. Simultaneously, Capital Structure, Profitability, and Asset Growth have an R² of 57%, but the overall regression model is not statistically significant (F=2.648; p=0.143). Thus, only Capital Structure shows a statistically significant relationship with Firm Value in the individual regression model.
