ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PERTUMBUHAN LABA PERUSAHAAN SEKTOR PERTAMBANGAN YANG TERDAFTAR DI BEI

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the current ratio (as a measure of the liquidity ratio), debt ratio (as a measure of the solvency ratio), total asset turnover (as a measure of activity ratio), gross profit margin, and return on assets (as a measure of the ratio. profitability) on the profit growth of mining sector companies. The sample consisted of 37 mining sector companies listed on the IDX during the 2015-2018 period taken by the purposive sampling method. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The study results indicate that the current ratio, debt ratio, total asset turnover, and return on assets significantly affect profit growth. Meanwhile, the gross profit margin variable does not affect profit growth. These results inform that the current ratio, debt ratio, total asset turnover, and return on assets can be used to predict the mining companies' future profit growth. Meanwhile, the gross profit margin cannot be used as a predictor of profit growth.
