Performance of Sharia Public Companies During the Covid-19: An Altman Z-Score Analysis

Abstract

This research aims to assess and analyze the financial performance of public companies operating under the Sharia category during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Altman Z-Score method, which utilizes four parameters and secondary data, was employed to investigate the 2020 financial statements of 30 companies listed in the Sharia category in JII. The study findings indicate that three companies exhibited potential bankruptcy as their Z-Score value was less than 1.1, while three other companies were susceptible to bankruptcy with a Z-Score value between 1.1 and 2.6. In contrast, 24 companies were classified as financially healthy since their Z-Score value was greater than 2.6. To mitigate the risk of bankruptcy, management is advised to implement effective debt restructuring and management strategies while examining best practices from companies that thrived during the pandemic. This research underscores the effectiveness of the Altman Z-Score method in assessing financial performance, identifying financial issues, predicting bankruptcy, and evaluating a company's financial health level.======================================================================================================== ABSTRAK – Kinerja Perusahaan Publik Syariah Pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19: Analisis Altman Z-Score.
