then its shares will attract investors and the price
increases. With rising stock prices of course
stock returns received by investors also
increased.
The analytical technique used to measure the
company’s financial performance in order to
make long-term stock investment decisions is a
fundamental analysis, which is an analytical
technique that focuses on financial ratios.
From the analysis of financial ratios can be used
to predict stock prices or returns in the capital
market, including the financial condition of the
company in the future.
According to Husnan (2009: 307) fundamental
analysis predicts stock prices in the future by
estimating the fundamental factors that affect
future stock prices and connecting variables so
that stock price estimates are known. Which in
this study the author uses 5 variables, namely
Price Book Value, Price Earning Ratio, Earning
Per Share and Deviden Pay Out Ratio. These
variables are the financial ratios to measure the
company’s financial performance in order to
make long-term stock investment decisions.
Price to Book Value (PBV) is the ratio of stock
price and book value per share of a company.
This ratio illustrates how much the market
appreciates the value of a company’s stock book.
The higher this ratio will give an idea that the
higher stock price of the company, indicating the
better performance of the company, so it can
provide a better rate of return in the future. High
price to book value reflects the level of
prosperity of shareholders, where prosperity for
shareholders is the main objective of the
company.
Price Earning Ratio (PER) is the ratio used to
measure the amount of money paid by the
investor for each rupiah of corporate income.
The high Price Earning Ratio (PER) of the
company means the company’s stock can provide
a great return for investors, the greater the
investor’s confidence in the future of the
company for the return of investment. Price
Earning Ratio (PER) is used by investors to
predict the company’s ability to generate profit in
the future. Investors can consider this ratio to sort
out which stocks will benefit substantially in the
future. PER denotes the relationship between the
stock market price of the common stock and the
earnings per share. A high level of profit
signifies the growth of the company from the
future. Companies with a high growth rate
opportunity usually have a high PER, and vice
versa companies with low growth have a small or
low PER. PER is part of the market ratio where
the viewpoint of this ratio is more from the
investor’s point of view and is also a measure to
determine how the market assigns value or price
to a company’s stock.
Earning Per Share (EPS) represents the amount
of profit earned for each common share. High
EPS indicates that the company is able to provide
a better level of welfare to shareholders. Thus
EPS demonstrates the company’s ability to earn
profits and distribute profits to the shareholders.
Dividend payout ratio (DPR) is a comparison
between dividends paid with the profits available
to public shareholders (Hartono, 1998). Investors
tend to like companies that have high levels of
the House of Representatives because they are
considered able to provide better benefits with
better levels of certainty.
Given the company’s financial performance
analysis is needed in order to make investment
decisions in stocks and given the high stock
return of the company is very important of them
will increase investor confidence to invest in a
company hence the researcher interested to
examine various factors affecting stock return of
