Price Earning Ratio (PER) INTRODUCTION Asthe economy develops and improves, business competition also increases. The manufacturing industry has undergone a notable increase in competition, constituting a significant contributor to economic growth in Indonesia (Maria et al. , 2. This is shown by the increasing contributiontoftthe manufacturingtindustry sector to thetGross DomestictProduct (GDP) on an annual basis (Kemenperin. Go. Id. As quoted in a press release from (Kemenperin. Go. Id. ) In the initial quarter of 2023, the manufacturing industry sector continued to exert the greatest influence on the nation's economic growth. One of the strategies employed by companies to remain competitivetistselling company shares through the capitaltmarket to obtain additional funding (Puspitasari & Chabachib, 2. by registering with thetIndonesia StocktExchange as a publicly listed company or "Going PublicAy. The LQ45tIndex is one type of index in the Indonesian Capital Market, encompassing 45 companies with shares that are actively traded daily on the stocktexchange and whose prices continuously fluctuate in line with tradingtvolume (Lusiana & Avriyanti, 2. Companies included in the LQ45 index are selected based on specific criteria, resulting in thesetshares having higher trading liquiditytcompared to other companies and possessing substantialtmarket capitalization, making them attractive to investorstin the capitaltmarket (Zahro & Purnamawati. Investorstare naturallytinclined to invest their funds in companiestthat demonstrate stability, exhibit strong financialtperformance, are competitive in their market, and offer a high rate https://doi. org/10. 24912/ijaeb. International Journal of Application on Economics and Business (IJAEB) Volume 3. Issue 2, 2025. ISSN: 2987-1972 oftreturn (Maria et al. , 2. If a company demonstrates performance that is evaluatedtpositively, investors will gain confidencetand increase their interesttin investing funds in thattcompany, consequently causing its share price to riset(Kundiman & Hakim. One approach used to evaluate atstock is FundamentaltAnalysis, which relies on the financial data of the company (Munandar, 2. The company indicators used in the fundamentaltanalysis of this research include: Debt totEquity Ratio or DER. Net ProfittMargin or NPM. Return on Assetstor ROA. Return ontEquity or ROE. CurrenttRatio or CR, and Price EarningtRatio or PER. DERtindicates the extent of a firm's debt compared to its equitytcapital (Solihin et al. , 2. This debt arises from situations where all capital requirements cannot be met with equity capital or proceeds from the sale of equity. As a result, firms often seek additional capital through loans (Solihin et al. , 2. When the DER rises, it signifies that the firm is increasingly financing its operations with debt rather than equity (Munandar, 2. According to Sawir in (Nurdin, 2. companies with high debt utilization tend to face greater risks compared to companies with no debt or low debt levels, because in addition to facing business risks, the company will also bear financialtrisks. Nevertheless, this additional risk may potentially increase company profits, as the company obtains additional capital. This statement aligns with the Trade-Off Leveragettheory (Modigliani & Miller, 1. which reveals thattcompanies that can generate returnstfrom debt-financedtinvestments higher than the interesttcosts paid on that debt will provide greatertreturns to capital owners, which can result in an increase in the company's stocktprice. This istconsistent withtthe findingstof (Ery Yanto et al. , 2021. Nurdin, 2015. Sukesti et al. that Debt EquitytRatio (DER) has a impact on stocktprice, but contradicts the findings of (Munandar, 2022. Rini Tri Hastuti, 2020. Solihin et al. , 2. that DER has no significant impact on stocktprice. ThetNet ProfittMargin (NPM) ista ratio thattmeasures thetprofit after taxesta company can earn from each activity oftsales (Rohman & Afkar, 2. Increasing NPM means the greater the amount of profit can betgenerated. The higher thetNPM, the greater the firm's ability to return profitstto investors. This information encourages investors to put their money into the company, according to (Solihin et al. , 2021. Sukesti et al. , 2. , a higher NPM leads to a higher stocktprice with significant impact, while (Ery Yanto et al. , 2021. Rohman & Afkar. Sahari & Suartana, 2. stated that NPM has no impact on companyAos stocktprice. ROA measures the total return ontinvestment by comparing after-tax net income totassets (Sahari & Suartana, 2. Return ontassets (ROA) is an indicator of howteffectively a company's managementtuses its assets totgenerate profits. a hightROA number indicates that the company is able to generate significant profits from each capital invested in its assets. Conversely, a low ROA may indicate inefficiencies in corporate operations and less than optimal use of assets to generate added value (Sukesti et al. , 2. This is consistent with thetfindings of (Rohman & Afkar, 2018. Solihin et al. , 2021. Sukesti et al. , 2. thattROA has a significant impactton stock prices. However, this contradicts the findings of (Ery Yanto et al. , 2021. Sahari & Suartana, 2. that ROA has no significanttimpact on stock prices. Thetnext fundamental factor is Return ontEquity (ROE), which istdetermined bytcomparing after-tax profits to totaltcapital (Sahari & Suartana, 2. the highertthe ROE, the bettertthe https://doi. org/10. 24912/ijaeb. International Journal of Application on Economics and Business (IJAEB) Volume 3. Issue 2, 2025. ISSN: 2987-1972 performance of capital management in generatingtprofits for shareholders. It can be said that the company is effectively and efficiently using capital from shareholders to generate profits (Cipta et al. , 2. A high ROE figure can signal to shareholders that the return on investment received will be greater (Lumowa, 2. This indicates that ROE has an influence ontvalue. This is consistent with the findings of (Ery Yanto et al. , 2021. Sahari & Suartana, 2. that ReturntontEquity (ROE) has atimpact on firm value, but contradicts the findings of (Rohman & Afkar, 2. that it has no impact on firm value. ThetCurrenttRatio (CR) is a financialtratio that evaluates a company'stability totpay off its short-term debts withtits liquid assets (Ahmad Solihin et al. , 2. With high debt utilization in the manufacturing industry, a company's short-term obligations will also increase in the form of debt interest payments. A high CurrenttRatio indicates that the company has good liquidity, meaning the company is capable of meeting its short-term obligations. This condition naturally attractstinvestors' interest to invest, which in turn increases the demand for shares and impacts the rise in stock prices. This is consistent with the findings of (Ery Yanto et al. , 2. that CR has a impacttontstock price, but contradicts the findings of (Kundiman & Hakim, 2017. Nurdin, 2. that it has no significanttimpact. The next fundamental factor is the PricetEarningtRatio (PER). PERtis a commonly used metric to evaluate a company'stprofitability and assess the market'stvaluation of itststock. It is calculatedtby dividingtthe stock price bytthe company'stearnings per share (Solihin et al. Considering that the performance of the manufacturing industry is increasingly improving, the PER ratio is important to analyze, because a hightPER indicates that company performance is increasing (Olla & Mareta, 2. , and indicates a greater possibility for the company to grow and develop, thereby increasing company value (Solihin et al. , 2. However, an excessively high PER may indicate that the offered share price is already high or not rational (Olla & Mareta, 2. This istconsistent with thetfindings of (Sholihah & Tjaraka, 2. that Price Earning Ratio (PER) has atsignificant effect on stocktprice but contradicts the findings of (Olla & Mareta, 2023. Rohman & Afkar, 2018. Solihin et al. , 2. that it has no effect on stocktprice. Due to thetcontext of the problem above andtthe contradictory results of previouststudies, this study is important and the researcher has conducted a study on the factorstthat affect the stock LQ45 Index IndonesiantStocktExchange fromt2019 to 2023, namely Debt to EquitytRatio (DER). Net ProfittMargin (NPM). Returnton Assets (ROA). Return ontEquity (ROE). Current Ratio (CR), andtPrice Earning Ratio (PER). According tot(Brigham & Houston, 2. signaling theory includes actions taken by companies to achieve future prospects. This can be in the form of efforts by the company to provide financial information to investors. Signaling Theory explains that the use of financial information serves to provide either positive or negative information to its users, which subsequently aids in financial decision-making. Due to information asymmetry between company owners and outside parties like investors, signaling theory aims to encourage information users or management to transmit the right signals (Adelia et al. , 2. Therefore. Signaling Theory indicates that information about favorable or unfavorable financial reports could be used by investors when choosing investment decisions in a company. In other words, this information will cause stock prices to fluctuate (Adelia et al. , 2. Financial statements that incorporate financial performance and clear, comprehensive, and https://doi. org/10. 24912/ijaeb. International Journal of Application on Economics and Business (IJAEB) Volume 3. Issue 2, 2025. ISSN: 2987-1972 transparent notes are used to display the company's facts. Giving a true and thorough image of the business's financial situation is the goal (Adelia et al. , 2. Stock Price The most recent value of a stock listed or traded on the stock market is known as the stock Supply and demand trends for shares on the stock exchange affect this price, which is determined by market participants. The valuetof atcompany to investors is reflectedtin its stock pricet(Sukesti et al. , 2. Since stocks are one of the most promising investment categories, it is crucial and essential for investors to evaluate stock prices before making an investment (Cipta et al. , 2. Debt EquitytRatio (DER) The Debt Equity Ratio (DER) is atratio that compares atcompany's total debto its totaltequity (Cipta et al. , 2. According to Jusuf, as cited by (Ananda et al. , 2. this ratio indicates the extent to which equity can cover all of the company's debt. Furthermore, this ratio can be understood as a comparison of the money put in the business by the owners and the money received from other sources. Consequently, the greater this ratio, the greater the financial danger to the organization. Potential investors typically steer clear of companies with significant financial risk because of their poor stock returns (Bambang Riyanto, 2. Net ProfittMargin (NPM) Sudana asserts that the Net ProfittMargin is a gauge of a business's capacity to produce net profit from sales, as stated in (Ananda et al. , 2. A highertnet profit margintindicates atmore productive business, which in turn encourages investors to put money into the company (Bastian & Suhardjono, 2. Return on Asset (ROA) Sudana, as quoted in (Ananda et al. , 2. , claims that ROA is atmeasure of a companyAos abilitytto use all of its assetstto generate nettprofit. A greater ROA indicates more effective utilization of the company's resources. Stated differently, the corporation can make more money with the same quantity of assets, and vice versa. ReturntontEquity (ROE) ROE is thetratio of profit earned by a companytin a certain way to be returned to investors (Rini Tri Hastuti, 2. Kasmir, as quoted in (Supriyadi, 2. explains that ROE is the ratiotof net profit afterttax measured by equity. ROE's growth indicates that a company's prospects are improving because it is able to increase its profits. CurrenttRatio (CR) The CurrenttRatio (CR) is the ability to repay short-term debt withtthe companytcurrent assets (Heikal et al. , 2. According to Sawir in (Faujiah & Nursito, 2. A low Current Ratio (CR) generally indicatestliquidity problems. however, an excessively high CR can also suggest inefficienttmanagement of liquiditytsources. Surplus current assetstshould be utilized to pay dividends, settle long-term debt, or be investedtin projects that can yield higher returns (Kundiman & Hakim, 2. Therefore, it is crucial for company management to achieve a proper balance in liquidity management. Consequently, the company can ensure sufficient liquidity to meet short-term obligations while maintaining efficiency in capital utilization (Anisyah & Supriyadi, 2. https://doi. org/10. 24912/ijaeb. International Journal of Application on Economics and Business (IJAEB) Volume 3. Issue 2, 2025. ISSN: 2987-1972 Price Earning Ratio (PER) The PricetEarningstRatio (PER) is a valuationtratio that comparesta company's current share price totits earningstper share (Olla & Mareta, 2. A higher PER increases capital holders' interest in investing their capital. Therefore, it will affect the stock price and the price per share (Aprianti & Wahyuningsih, 2. The Relationship betweentDebt-to-Equity Ratiot(DER) and Stock Price The relationship betweentthe Debt to Equity Ratio (DER)tand stock price is that whentthe DER increases, investors will view this condition as risky because the company has high financial risk, which could lead to bankruptcy. Consequently, investors may be reluctant to invest or may withdraw funds, causing the stock price to decline (Zebua et al. , 2. However, because debt has a number of benefits over equity financing, businesses frequently use it in their capital structure. One advantage oftdebt financing is the potentialtfor tax savings. andtprincipal paymentston debt can be considered operating expenses, which can be deducted from the company's income tax (Sukesti et al. , 2. The Trade-Off Theory of Leverage (Modigliani & Miller, 1. states that businesses can profit from taking on debt as long as the tax advantages outweigh the costs of filing for Therefore, up to a certain extent, raising the debt level can increase the company's In order to maximize market value and minimize cost of capital, businesses can select the greatest possible capital structure, which is the idealtmix of debt and equitytfinancing. However, an increase in debt willthave a detrimental effectton the company's worth if it is not regulated (Sukesti et al. , 2. Research by (Ery Yanto et al. , 2021. Nurdin, 2015. Sukesti et al. , 2. has demonstrated that the company'stvalue is significantly impacted by the Debt to Equity Ratio. Basedton the explanationtabove, the followingthypothesistis formulated: Hypothesis 1: Debt to EquitytRatio (DER) hasta significant effecttontStock Price. ThetRelationship between NettProfittMargin (NPM)tand Stock Price A high Net Profit Margin (NPM) reflects a company's productive performance and its ability to manage costs effectively, which in turn increases profits from sales (Sukesti et al. , 2. The relationshiptbetween NPM and stocktprice is that when NPM increases, investors will view this achievement positively, as the company is seen to be capable of enhancing its net profit from its business activities. Consequently, investors are more inclined to invest their funds, leading to an increasetin stocktprices (Zebua et al. , 2. Research by (Solihin et al. , 2021. Sukesti et al. , 2. has found evidence that net profit margin (NPM) has a influence on companytvalue. Basedton the explanationtabove, the followingthypothesistis formulated: Hypothesis 2: NettProfittMargin (NPM) hasta significant effecttontStock Price. The Relationship between Returnton Assets (ROA) and Stock Price ROA is calculated bytdividing net profittby the company's totaltassets. A company with a high ROA indicates that management is capable of managing its assets effectively and efficiently, thus improving the productivity of assets in generating net profit (Rivandi & Lasmidar, 2. The higher the income, the greater the return for investors, which impacts stock prices (Sukesti et al. , 2. This is because it attracts investor interest. The more investors are interested intbuying the company'stshares, the more positively it affects the increase in stock prices (Rivandi & Lasmidar, 2. https://doi. org/10. 24912/ijaeb. International Journal of Application on Economics and Business (IJAEB) Volume 3. Issue 2, 2025. ISSN: 2987-1972 Research by (Rohman & Afkar, 2018. Solihin et al. , 2021. Sukesti et al. , 2. has proven that Returnton Assets (ROA) has a significanttimpact to the stocktprice. Basedton the explanationtabove, the followingthypothesistis formulated: Hypothesis 3: Return on Asset (ROA) hasta significant effecttontStock Price. The Relationship between Return ontEquity (ROE) and Stock Price Return ontequity (ROE) indicates how much profit a companytcantgenerate with its own capital (Cipta et al. , 2. The level of ROEthas a positive relationshiptwith the stock price, so the larger thetROE, the higher thetmarkettprice. This is because a large ROE indicatestthat the return that investorstwill receive will be high, so investors will be interested in buying those shares, and that causestthe markettprice of the shares to tend totrise (Kundiman & Hakim. This is consistenttwith the findingstof studies by (Ery Yanto et al. , 2021. Sahari & Suartana, 2. that return on equity (ROE) has a significanttimpact to the stocktprice. Basedton the explanationtabove, the followingthypothesistis formulated: Hypothesis 4: Return on Equity (ROE) hasta significant effecttontStock Price. The Relationship between Current Ratio (CR) and Stock Price A high CurrenttRatio indicates that a company possesses hightliquidity, meaning the companytis capable of meeting its short-term obligations. This condition will attracttinvestors to invest, increase demand for shares, and ultimately drive up stocktprices in line with the Current Ratiotvalue (Munandar, 2. However, an excessively hightCR will become a problem, as it indicates an amount of idle funds, which can ultimately reduce the company'stprofitability (Faujiah & Nursito, 2. Therefore, it is crucialtfor companytmanagement to achieve a proper balance in liquidity management. Consequently, the company can ensure sufficient liquidity to meet short-term obligations while maintaining efficiency in capital utilization (Anisyah & Supriyadi, 2. This istconsistenttwith the researchtresults by (Ery Yanto et al. , 2. where the Current Ratio (CR) has a significant effect on manufacturing stock prices. Thus, an increase in the Current Ratio value will be followed by an increase in stock prices. Basedton the explanationtabove, the followingthypothesistis formulated: Hypothesis 5: Current Ratio (CR) hasta significant effecttontStock Price. The Relationship between PricetEarningtRatio (PER) and Stock Price The PER ratio indicates a company's ability to generate a return on investors' capital (Aprianti & Wahyuningsih, 2. A company with a high PERtvalue signifies that the company has a high growth rate, which can indicate that the market expects future earnings growth (Solihin et , 2. A hightPER will also increase the interest of capitaltholders to invest their capital, thus impacting a rise in stocktprices (Aprianti & Wahyuningsih, 2. This is consistent with the findings of (Sholihah & Tjaraka, 2. that PER hasta significant impact on the stocktprice.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Based on the research results, it can be concluded that Net ProfittMargin (NPM). Debt Equity Ratio (DER). Return onttAssets (ROA). Return on Equity (ROE) and CurrentRatio (CR) significantly influence the stock prices of manufacturingtcompanies listed on the LQ45 Index of the Indonesia StocktExchange during the period 2019-2023. Therefore, the alternativethypothesis (H. is accepted, and the nullthypothesis (H. is rejected. PricetEarning Ratio (PER) does not significantly influence the stockttprices of manufacturing companies listed on the LQ45 Index of the Indonesia StockttExchange. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H. is accepted, and the alternativethypothesis (H. is rejected. For investors who want to conduct fundamental analysis to determine stock prices, it is recommended to use the DER. NPM. ROA. ROE, and CR ratios in their considerations. This is because the resultstof this studytshow that these ratios have a significant influence on thetstock prices of manufacturing companies in the LQ45 index. For futuretresearchers, due to the limitations of thiststudy, such as the coefficient of determination being only 17. 7% . eaning that 82. 3% of the influencetcantbe explained by factors outside the variablestin this stud. , it is suggested that furthertresearch can use other proxies for processing stock prices. This can improve the strength and output of the research. Additionally, this study is based on annual data, so for futuretresearch, it is recommended to use quarterly data based on the company's quarterly financial reports to increase the accuracy of the research, as stock prices can fluctuate over time. This study istlimited to manufacturing companies listedton the Indonesia StocktExchange between 2019 and 2023 and included in the LQt45 index category, especially those companiesthat published their financialtstatements during this period and have been listed for three consecutive years on the LQ45 index category. Moreover, the scope of variables affecting share prices is deliberately narrowed to DebttEquity Ratio (DER). NettProfit Margin (NPM). Return ontAsset (ROA). Return on Equity (ROE). CurrenttRatio (CR), and PricetEarning Ratio (PER) for a more focused and accurate analysis. https://doi. org/10. 24912/ijaeb.
