Abstract

During the timeframe of 2018–2021, the present research scrutinizes companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) with respect to their profitability and stock returns, while incorporating leverage as a moderating variable. The Ordinary Least Square approach is employed to model the relationships between dependent and independent variables, capturing the nuanced interplay among these financial factors. Additionally, this analysis adopts the Fixed Effect Model technique with sectional weight, offering a robust examination of the data. The findings reveal a positive, yet modest, influence of earnings per share (EPS) on stock returns. In contrast, return on equity (ROE) exerts a substantial and positive impact on stock prices. Moreover, the debt-to-equity ratio (DER) demonstrates a positive and statistically significant effect on stock returns. The debt-equity ratio serves as a notable moderator, attenuating the influence of EPS on stock returns as well as the effect of ROE on debt. Collectively, the outcomes of this study underscore the pivotal role that leverage plays in mitigating the impact of profitability on stock returns, providing valuable insights for investors, financial analysts, and industry stakeholders.
