Effect of Solvency and Liquidity on The Profitability of Property Companies Listed on The Sharia Stock Index 2018-2020

<p><em>This study analyzes the effect of Solvency and Liquidity on the profitability of property companies listed on the Indonesian Islamic stock index for the 2018-2020 period. This research is quantitative research with secondary data from financial reports from 2018 to 2021. Regression model analysis using Common Effect Model (CE) or Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. The findings show that DAR has a negative effect on ROA, which explains that debt will burden the company and reduce the profit level of Islamic property companies. On the other hand, DAR has no effect on ROE because debt does not affect the value of equity owned by the company itself. DER has no effect on ROA and ROE, this is certainly contrary to the Pecking Order Theory. Current Ratio has a negative effect on ROA, this is not in accordance with </em><em>Pecking Order Theory</em><em>. Cash ratio has a positive effect on ROA and also on ROE, and is in accordance with </em><em>Pecking Order Theory</em><em>. The cash ratio as the company's ability to pay short term has a positive influence, because the company is not limited to being responsible for the environment around the company but also socially responsible to the community.</em></p><p> </p><p>Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh Solvabilitas dan Likuiditas terhadap profitabilitas perusahaan properti yang terdaftar di indeks saham syariah Indonesia periode 2018-2020.

Analisis model regresi menggunakan metode Common Effect Model (CE) atau Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa DAR berpengaruh negatif terhadap ROA, yang menjelaskan bahwa utang akan membebani perusahaan dan mengurangi tingkat keuntungan perusahaan properti syariah. Di sisi lain, DAR tidak berpengaruh terhadap ROE karena hutang tidak mempengaruhi nilai ekuitas yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan itu sendiri. DER tidak berpengaruh terhadap ROA dan ROE, hal ini tentunya bertentangan dengan Pecking Order Theory. Besarnya ekuitas utang secara khusus tidak berdampak pada tingkat keuntungan perusahaan properti. Current Ratio berpengaruh negatif terhadap ROA, hal ini tidak sesuai dengan Stakeholder Theory. Kondisi ini menyebabkan Current Ratio berpengaruh negatif terhadap ROE. Cash ratio berpengaruh positif terhadap ROA, dimana Cash Ratio berpengaruh positif terhadap ROE, dan sesuai dengan Stakeholder Theory. Rasio kas sebagai kemampuan perusahaan untuk membayar jangka pendek memiliki pengaruh positif, karena perusahaan tidak sebatas bertanggung jawab terhadap lingkungan sekitar perusahaan tetapi juga bertanggung jawab secara sosial kepada masyarakat.</p><p><em> </em><em></em></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; border: none; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt; mso-border-shadow: yes;"><input id="ext" type="hidden" value="1" /><input id="ext" type="hidden" value="1" /></p>

DETERMINANTES DE ESTRUTURA DE CAPITAL DE EMPRESAS DE CAPITAL ABERTO DO SETOR ELÉTRICO NO BRASIL: UMA ABORDAGEM BASEADA NA TRADE-OFF THEORY E NA PECKING ORDER THEORY

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os determinantes de estrutura de capital das empresas de capital aberto do setor elétrico brasileiro, listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo, em relação ao endividamento de curto prazo, longo prazo e geral. Foi coletada uma amostra composta por dados contábeis anuais de 80 empresas privadas e estatais, atuantes no setor elétrico brasileiro entre 2009 e 2019, empregando-se o método de regressões lineares múltiplas, com dados em painel, usando efeitos fixos e efeitos aleatórios. Os resultados apontaram que os determinantes de estrutura de capital lucratividade, oportunidade de crescimento e liquidez tiveram comportamento melhor alinhados à POT, ao passo que o risco se apresentou melhor explicado pela TOT e pela POT.

Capital Structure and Debt Maturity in Nonprofit Organizations

This article examines the capital structure and debt maturity in nonprofit organizations (NPOs). In particular, we analyze whether these financing decisions are made as expected according to the two main theories used to explain the capital structure, that is, the trade-off and pecking order theories. To do so, we study the associations between NPOs’ indebtedness and their size, age, tangibility, liquidity, profitability, risk, and growth. We use fixed effects, probit, and Heckman selection models with unbalanced panel data containing 8,721 charities in the United Kingdom for the period 2011–2018 (60,222 year-obs). Our results show that the financing patterns of NPOs are consistent with the arguments of the pecking order theory. We also find that less than half of our sample uses long-term debt. Moreover, debt maturity is longer in larger NPOs, those with more tangible assets, or those with higher liquidity.

The determinants of corporate cash holdings: evidence from Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah-compliant corporations

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the difference between the determinants of cash holdings of Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah-compliant firms, for non-financial corporations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).Design/methodology/approachThe data include all non-financial firms listed in six GCC markets over a period 2005–2019. The IdealRatings database is used to identify Shariah-compliant firms in the GCC. To examine the determinants of cash holdings, a static model is used. To confirm the applicability of the method applied, the Breusch–Pagan Lagrange Multiplier (LM) and Hausman (1978) are used to choose the most efficient and consistent static panel regression.FindingsThe results show that, for Shariah-compliant firms, the relevant determinants of cash holdings are leverage, profitability, capital expenditure, net working capital and operating cash flow. For non-Shariah-compliant firms, the only relevant determinants of cash holdings are leverage, net working capital and operating cash flow. The findings suggest that the cash holding decisions of Shariah-compliant firms can be best explained using the pecking order theory. This reveals that Shariah-compliant firms use liquid assets as their first financing option, due to the Shariah regulations.Research limitations/implicationsFuture studies may investigate the optimal levels of cash holdings and compare the adjustment speeds toward target cash holdings of both the Shariah-compliant firms and their conventional counterparts.Originality/valueThis study is the first to investigate the difference between the determinants of cash holdings of Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah-compliant firms.

The Examination of Trade Off Theory and Pecking Order Theory to Capital Structure on Plantation Companies Listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange

Plantation is a promising sector, but just like other firms, this sector will also face the financing problem. Capital structure determines the cost of capital and the risk assumed by the firm. Trade-off and Pecking order theory are the most common theory used to determine the capital structure. The objective of this research is to examine plantation companies tend to use trade-off theory or pecking order theory in determining the capital structure decision. This research used multiple linear regression analysis methods with capital structure as the dependent variable, and the asset structure, firm size, company growth, institutional ownership, effective tax rate, and non-debt tax shield as the independent variables.This is a quantitative research that uses secondary data from financial statements of plantation companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2014 to 2019. The sample was determined by using the purposive sampling technique and 5 out of 21 companies fulfill the sampling requirements. This study conducted observations for 6 years with a total of 30 research samples. The results of this research are both trade-off and pecking order theory are used and still relevant in the capital structure determination. Trade-off theory exerts more influence on capital structure decisions than pecking order theory. This is confirmed by the partial T-test where firm size, institutional ownership, effective tax rate, and non-debt tax shields suggest the use of trade-off theory, only asset structure indicates the tendency of pecking order theory.

Capital structure, stock exchanges in Chile: 2007 to 2016

PurposeThe article consists of analyzing the behavior of the determinants of the capital structure of Chilean companies between 2007 and 2016. The objective of this study was achieved through a typology of research based on bibliographic, documentary, exploratory and explanatory, considering annual financial reports from Economática in the chosen period.Design/methodology/approachAs this is a research study with a quantitative approach, the statistical tools used were descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, variance inflation factor (VIF) and panel regression.FindingsThe results show that Chilean companies (240) have higher and costly long-term debt. These companies have high averages in current liquidity, return to shareholders, growth in sales and assets and market-to-book (MTB). Long-term debt was highlighted with an explanatory power of 85%. Current liquidity was highlighted as being significant in most of the indebtedness proposed in the survey, failing to register brands like this in expensive short-term and long-term indebtedness. It is noticed that flip flops companies are more prone to the pecking order theory (POT). The gap occupied by this study is linked to research involving South American countries, especially the Chilean market, and the determinants of the capital structure.Originality/valueAs future research, it is suggested to include other types of variables related to indebtedness and the same action for its determinants, in addition to the speed technique of adjusting corporate debts.

Does National Debt Matter? -Analysis Based on The Economic Theories

The national debt has been increasing at a higher percentage than the GDP of the United States. Since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, national increased dramatically since the country borrowed to finance its expenditures. Moreover, with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, national debt increased to 105% of the GDP. There have been worries about whether the national debt is a matter of concern, and many theories have been developed to explain national debt. The classical economists advocated for a balanced budget where taxes finance government expenditure. Keynes argued that governments should borrow to finance their spending to avoid a decrease in demand. The pecking order theory argued that when businesses use all their retained earnings, they should prefer debts to equity to finance their expenditures. Trade-off theory advocated for financing through debt because it is cheaper. Debt payments of a company are deductible through tax, and less risk is involved when taking debt than equity. Finally, the neoclassical economists assumed that government debt has a one-time maturity and pays the current interest rate. Using the concepts of these theories, it is clear that national debt should not be a matter of concern because it is cheaper to pay debt than equity and debt benefits a country in the long run.

Pecking Order Theory of Capital Structure: Empirical Evidence for Listed SMEs in India

The purpose of our study is to empirically examine the relevance of pecking order theory (POT) in explaining the capital structure choices made by the listed small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in emerging capital markets. To do so, we use panel data regression on five years of data from 2015 to 2019 of 82 listed SMEs in India. In pursuit of robust results to test the theory, the study uses three econometric models: pooled ordinary least squares (pooled OLS), fixed effects (FE) regression and two-stage least squares (2SLS). Profitability, liquidity, growth, tangibility and non-debt tax shield are the independent variables, size is the controlled variable and financial leverage is the dependent variable. The pooled OLS and FE models provide biased estimates due to the presence of endogeneity. The 2SLS estimates overcome endogeneity in the explanatory variable non-debt tax shield by using tangibility as an instrument. The 2SLS provides a substantial improvement over pooled OLS and FE results. The results indicate that the explanatory variables, namely, profitability, liquidity, non-debt tax shield and size, support the POT. However, the growth and tangibility do not support the POT for listed SMEs. Overall, the results of our study are inclined towards the POT, suggesting that ease of access takes priority in financing decisions by SMEs. Careful consideration of country-specific factors will allow the results to be generalized to other emerging capital markets.

Impact of Firm-specific Variables on Capital Structure Decisions. Evidence from the Indian Hospitality Sector

This study investigates the determinants of capital structure for hospitality firms listed in India. The study validates the contradiction in the determinants of capital structure by using the data for firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Using fixed-effects regression models, the findings indicate that firm size and return on assets are significantly associated with total debt ratio (TDR), long-term debt ratio (LTDR) and short-term debt ratio. The variables such as growth rate, tangibility and volatility are found to be significantly associated with TDR and LTDR. Non-debt tax shield is found to be significantly associated with only TDR. Each of the stated determinants has a unique impact on capital structure decisions. The study partially confirms the applicability of the pecking order theory for hospitality sector firms. With the findings on hospitality firms, we hope to provide useful insights to lending institutions and corporate executives.

Market Timing and Pecking Order Theory in Latin America

This article aims to determine if the capital structure of Latin American companies in the emerging markets of Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru, are managed according to the market timing theory or the pecking order theory. The analysis was based on a non-probabilistic sample of 170 companies, with annual data, from an unbalanced panel, in the period 2010-2018. Regressions were applied with the fixed and random effects method. The results do not show significant evidence indicating that Latin American companies comply with the pecking order theory. Furthermore, there is also no definitive evidence that companies benefit from low share prices to issue capital or from debt issuance in the face of high stock market prices. There are signs that they follow a blend of several theories, which would indicate their characteristics in the capital structure of Latin American companies.
