Impact of Financial Performance and Economic Value Added (EVA) On Stock Returns before and after Covid-19 Pandemic: A Case Study of Telecommunications Companies Listed on IDX

/in /by

This research aims to investigate the impact of financial performance and Economic Value Added (EVA) on stock returns of telecommunication companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Financial performance in this research is proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Price-Earnings Ratio (PER), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Earnings per Share (EPS). The study employs a purposive sampling method and selects 10 companies in the telecommunication sub-sector for analysis. The type of research used is a quantitative research design, including Panel Data regression analysis and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The findings of this study show that ROA, ROE, and PER significantly impacted stock returns before COVID-19, however, this impact did not exist after the pandemic; DER, NPM, and EPS consistently affect stock returns both before and after the pandemic; and EVA only becomes significant after the pandemic. Simultaneously, ROA, ROE, PER, DER, NPM, EPS, and EVA influenced stock returns before COVID-19, but they did not have any impact after the pandemic. Despite these individual shifts, there are no significant differences in overall financial performance metrics and stock returns between the before and after COVID-19 periods. Future research should consider additional financial metrics or external factors such as market volatility, inflation rates, or industry-specific variables to provide a more comprehensive understanding of stock return determinants.

This study aims to compare the pre-post M&A financial performance of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the 2-year period before mergers and acquisitions (M&A), in the year of M&A, and 2 years after M&A. Performance was measured using Economic Value Added (EVA), Market Value Added (MVA), and financial ratios. The research sample consisted of 22 companies selected by purposive sampling, and secondary data were analyzed from financial statements. Partial analysis was conducted with the Wilcoxon Sign Test because the data was not normally distributed, while simultaneous analysis used the MANOVA test with the STATA version 17 application. The results of simultaneous testing showed no significant difference in financial performance between before and after M&A. However, partial test results found significant differences in MVA variables in the period 2 years before, 1 and 2 years after M&A, as well as in the year of M&A. In addition, the ROA variable also shows significant differences in the 2-year period before, 1 and 2 years after M&A. However, the effect of M&A on MVA and ROA variables tends to be negative.
