Abstract

This research aims to obtain an empirical overview of the influence of financial performance on stock prices in situations of political uncertainty in Indonesia. Our sample includes all non-financial public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2019, totalling 1,899 company-years. This study uses fixed-effects regression to test the hypothesis. The researchers found that financial performance positively and negatively affects stock prices. Specifically, we found a negative relationship between financial performance proxied by Return on Equity and Debt to Ratio. In contrast, liquidity, return on Assets, and Net Profit Margin have a negative effect on financial performance. Furthermore, our evidence becomes unique when in conditions of political uncertainty, where more financial performance has a negative impact on stock prices. This study provides practical and theoretical implications to fill gaps in previous literature regarding financial performance and its influence on stock prices.
