INTRODUCTION In order to support the progress on infrastructure in Indonesia, specifically the expressway infrastructure (TOL) that needs to be developed and accelerated on its According to this idea. PT. CitrallMarga NusaphalallPersada Tbk (PT. CMNP, Tb. was called to support this government program. In response to the dynamics of the construction project applied. PT. CMNP. Tbk. requires lots of financing. The financing expected by PT. CMNP. Tbk. could be gathered by capital loans to banks and investment from investors by releasing the stocks of PT. CMNP. Tbk. The release of stocks publicly is a step which needs to be considered by PT. CMNP. Tbk. because by buying their stocks then it helps PT. CMNP. Tbk. to earn more funds. An indication feedback from the public which is increasingly interested in buying their stocks on the trading floor was an indication of the improvement in the value of companies owned by PT. CMNP. Tbk. And was in line with the research results from Febrina . which defines that market share prices as a good reflection towards the firm value of the shareholders.

Firm value describes the longterm wealthy of shareholders so the company's long-term goallis to maximizelthe firmlvalue. Discovering the firm value, it could be seen by determining the price of earning ratio (PER) (Mahesh and Daddikar, 2. PER is a function from the change in earnings ability which expected in the near future. Thelgreater PER, the more likely thelcompany will growlso it would increaselthe firmlvalue. Figure 1. Price Earning Ratio Graph of PT. CMNP. Tbk Cautious to the PER data movement which occurs at PT. CMNP. Tbk in the last 10 . years that the PER PT. CMNP. Tbk moves still in a fluctuating manner and even more tends to experience a stable decline, namely since the last 10 years in 2008 amounted to 20. 71 until 2017 amounted to 7. 55 which has decreased. This decline in PER ratio needs to be of particular matter to management because a visible PER value could help bring investors to invest in a relatively high PER value. The price earnings ratio (PER) describes amount price that investors agreed to pay per rupiah from its reported profits. Based on the number of ratio estimation results it shows that the price per each unit contained earnings per share. High netllincome indicatesllthe high earningsllperllshare, meaning that thellcompany has a greatllevel oflprofitability. A high level of profitabilitylcould increaselthelinvestors' trusts to investltheir money in thelcompany, so the stocks of companieslthat have alhigh level oflprofitability and profitlgrowth wouldlalso have a high PER, as its stocks would looks captivate on the stock exchange if price tends to Research conducted by Ansori &lDenica . lHasnawati . lRochmach . lTampubolon &llDoloksaribu . concluded thatllinvestment decisionsllhave an impact on firm value.

The author reveals that during the last 1 . Furthermore. Sinha's research . revealed that the capital structure owned by a company would have a negative affect towards the firmllvalue. This could be seen from the increasing amount of capital invested within the company through debt, which give impact to the decline in firm value.

LITERATURE REVIEW CapitallStructurelTheory Capitalstructure is a balance or differentiation among those foreign capital and own Foreign capital, in this matter were includes long-term and short-term debt. Meanwhile, capital itself is split up into retained earnings and company ownership. The maximum capitalstructure is the one which optimizesllthe balance involvinglrisk andlreturn so as to escalates stock prices. As for this purpose, when identify the capital structure of a company, it is necessary to consider the various things which influence it.

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 AA. AA. This research population used is the financial statements of PT CMNP Tbk during period of 1995-2017. The sample were 46 financial reports taken from 23 financial statements multiplied by 2 . wo semesters in 1 yea. The data collection methods from this research was done by the method of documentation through collecting all secondary data published by IDX Statistic about PT. CMNP Tbk which has been published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during period 19952017. This research uses quantitative analysis techniques by statistics, namely Simple and Multiple Regression analysis through the assist of the SPSS version 24. 00 program. RESULIT AND DISCUSSION DescriptivelAnalysis These following table are the results of each variable: Table 1. The Descriptive Statistical Analysis The standard deviation of ROA and ROE tends to be greater than its standard in each This shows that if the research outcomes was quite poor because the standardldeviation is alreflection of highldeviations, so the distributionlof data showslabnormal results and tends to cause bias and it could be interpreted that there is the fluctuation of ROA and ROE on firm Meanwhile, the DER. Fsize, and PER values of Standard deviation tend to be smaller than those average value each year, meaning thatllthe resultsllare quite good because the standardlldeviation is a reflectionlof highlldeviation, so the spread of data showsllnormal results and did not cause bias and it could be concluded that there is no fluctuation in ROA and ROE towards the firm value. Classic Assumption Test The Kolmogorov-Smirnov value was 0. 101 and significant at 0. 101 > 0. 05, this means H0 was accepted where the residual data is normally distributed, so the regression model meets the normality assumption, or the residuals of the model and it could be considered as normally Available Online: https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Page 1064 Volume 1.

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test The test results shows that there is no multicollinearity between thellindependent variablesllwhich have a Tolerancellvalue > 0. 10 and a VIF value > 10. Table 3. Mulicollinearity Test According to the Glejser test result above, the results of the heteroscedasticity test both indicate that the four independent variables show a sig value > than 0. then according to the basic of decision making in the Glejser test, it could be interpreted that there are no symptoms of heteroscedasticity in these regression model. Table 4. Glejser Test The Durbin-Watson . value of 1,839 was greater than the upper limit . of 1,650 and less than . -d. of 4-1,650 = 2,350. So the base of decision making based on the Watson Durbin test above, it could be interpreted that there is no problems or symptoms of Thus, multiple linear analysis to examine those above hypothesis could be carried out further. Table 5. Durbin-Watson Test F-Test According to the research results gathered, a significant value of 0. 001 is smallerllthan thellvalue of 0. 05 and the F-count value of 5. 403 was greater than the F-table value, namely 74 . 403> 4. meaning that it simultaneously . the variables of profitability, capital structure and firm size have an impact towards the firm value of PT.

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 profitable, the investors believe they would get benefit from the results of their investments in the form of dividends which distributed to shareholders. ROA is a measure of profitability that is used to measure a company's ability to earn profits with its assets. Based on these research results which conducted partially, it is found that there is a negative impact of ROA towards the firm value. The higher of the ROA, the company value would decrease and conversely, the lower the return on Assets, the company value would also increase. The author argues that the Firm Value would increase when the ROA decreases due to PT CMNP Tbk has a record ROA ratio in 2001 which experienced a minus especially in the second semester of -32. This shows the ability of PT CMNP Tbk in earn profit from the assets used still not optimal. This matter was indicated by the growing or increasing number of toll road infrastructure companies developing their business on the same path, so the investors will be more interested in these competing companies. The results of this research has support the first hypothesis where there is an influence of ROA towards firm value, but these results are negative sign. The results of the research conducted by researchers were in line with the results of previous research by Andawasatya, et al. Mule, et al. which show that ROA has a significant influence on firm value. These research results were also in line with Putra and Wirawati . who shows that ROA has a negative affect on Firm Value, which shows that if ROA decreases, the firm value will increase. ROE is the company's ability to earned profits with its own capital, so sometimes ROE is called its own capital profitability (Sartono, 2. The greater the ROE reflects the company's ability to earn high returns for shareholders. This research results by the researchers indicate that there is a positive and significant impact between Return on Equity towards firm value. means that the higher the Return on Equity, will increase the firm value and conversely. These research results was support the second research hypothesis, where there is an impact of ROE towards firm value. This research were also supports by the results of Shirzad, et al. and Sucuahi & Cambarihan . which revealed that profitability as seen from the ROE which could increase its firm value because it experiences positive influence. ROE which is described as high or increasing is an illustration that the company is effective in managing its own funds effectively, firm value would increase from effectiveness in managing its own funds. This is because the capital that comes from the funds itself shows the independence of the company running its business. These results was in line with the theory of ROE which reveals that ROE shows the efficiency on using its capital. The higher this ratio, it would get the better. Meaning that if the position of company owners is getting stronger and conversely (Kasmir, 2. Thus, based on the theory and references from the prior research results, the high ROE would increase the firm value. These research results has support the third hypothesis where the DER has a significant correlation towards firm value and DER has a negative impact on firm value. Signify that the more DER increases, the lower Firm Value. One of the components which create the DER is the debt factor . , so if the company relies too much on debt to run the its operations, the investors will view that the firm value as a poor performance. This result also support the theory of DER which reveals that the DER is a ratio which used debt and capital as firm ability to meet all its debts . oth in short and long term deb. These research outcomes were in line with the results from Sukoco . and Kayobi & Anggraeni . which resulted in DER having a negative affect on firm value. According to these research outcomes stating that none relate amid firm size and firm These research outcomes did not support the fourth research hypothesis, where there is Available Online: https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Page 1067 Volume 1. Issue 6. January 2021 E-ISSN : 2721-303X. P-ISSN : 2721-3021 an connevction of firm size towards firm value. Results from this research are in line with Hamyat et al. who stated that firm size none affect the firm value. These results do not support the theory which stated that the larger of the firm size, then greater firm value. This result shows that investors did not considered the large firm value would have a high of firm value as well. Thus, large of firm size is not one of the considerations to encourage the investment which driving by the owners of capital. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION Conclusion Elicited from these research outcomes which have been done and the discussion stated above, the authors interpreted this research as: . ROAllhas allnegative andllsignificant influencelltowards firmllvalue. ROElhas a positivelland significantllinfluence towards firm . DERllhas a negativelland significantllaffect on firm value. Firm sizellnone affect towards firm value. Suggestion Investors who intend to fund their money in a construction firm need to consider selecting a company with complete exposure information, including information on governance, business risks and any further information regarding the company. Based on this financial performance analysis in the construction industry, investors need to weigh the variables of ROA. ROE and DER as these three variables have a significant affect on firm As for the companies, they should be extra attentive about the right sources of funds to run their business. It could be seen from the company's capital and assets so as to minimize the possibility of risks which could stumble the investment growth process and optimize company On the other hand, the company should be careful in increasing the source of funding which comes from the debt, though this would earn profits, but it also could give a huge risk if the company fails to pay its obligations and it will lead to the losses to the company.
