Study of Investment at the Capital Market in the Firm Sector Performs Well

Abstract

This research is a lesson to invest in the capital market in obtaining stock returns in companies listed in LQ45, which are companies that have good liquidity performance. The study was conducted in the period 2013 to 2018 using path analysis. The results found that of the three proposed predictor variables namely size, DER, and ROA, only DER was able to determine stock returns. The effect is positive so the greater the DER ratio, the better the stock returns obtained. Therefore, the amount of debt is not a problem if used as well as possible, because management at this type of company has successfully used funds from external to improve its performance which will ultimately increase returns. Besides, size is found as a variable that can predict ROA, not as a stock return predictor. But the effect is negative so the larger the size of the company the smaller the ROA ratio. This is a unique finding in companies that have high liquidity compared to other types of companies Keyword : Study, Market.
