Company Value. Dividend Payout Ratio INTRODUCTION Companies in the property and real estate sector are increasingly developing in line with economic growth. This has further intensified competition. The competition between companies has led them to use various methods to optimize their company value. Therefore, companies must maintain their main objective, which is to maximize profits. This year, the property and real estate sector companies achieved an investment value of IDR 29. 4 trillion in the first half of 2024. This investment value increased by 6% compared to the same period last This clearly shows that investor confidence in the property and real estate sector remains Property and real estate companies are those that deal with ownership in areas such as land, buildings, and infrastructures within them. These companies help facilitate integrated and dynamic development, such as residential housing, apartments, shophouses, and office The primary goal of a company, in addition to maximizing profits, is to enhance its company value. Company value can be achieved through effective implementation of financial management functions. Company value is reflected in stock prices. An increase in company 1258 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. 2, 2025 value influences investor interest because when company value rises, it indicates that the company is capable of managing its operations and has good prospects in the future. Therefore, the main objective of companies going public is to generate profits in order to increase company Company value can be interpreted as a reflection of how the market perceives the company as a whole. Company value is an important consideration for investors because the higher the company value, the higher the potential wealth for shareholders. Therefore, company value becomes one of the key factors in investment decisions for investors. Seeing the increase in investment value in property and real estate sector companies makes this research important. It is very important for companies to pay attention to their financial performance because financial performance greatly influences company value. Company value is one of the things that investors consider, the higher the company value, the higher the level of shareholder welfare. The aim of this research is also to provide advice and considerations for investors before investing in a company. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide companies with an idea of how important financial performance and company value are. Based on the background that has been described, the aim of this research is to determine the effect of return on assets, debt to equity ratio, and sales growth on company value with the dividend payout ratio as a moderating variable. Return On Assets Return On Assets is a ratio that measures how much a company's ability to create profits through the assets it owns. According to Hery . Return on Assets or return on assets is a ratio that shows how big the contribution of assets is in creating profits. Return on Assets is defined as a measure of how well investments have been returned using all company assets (Pratama et al. , 2. Return On Assets is a financial parameter that reflects a company's ability to generate profits from the total assets it owns (Masradin, 2. Based on previous research conducted by (Novianti et al. , 2024. Ivani & Efendi, 2. shows that profitability as measured using Return On Assets has an influence on Company Value. Based on previous research conducted by (Hariyanto & Rabberti, 2. it shows that Return On Assets and Dividend Policy have a low relationship. Debt To Equity Ratio Debt To Equity Ratio is a ratio that measures how much debt you have compared to your capital. Debt To Equity Ratio reflects the equity guaranteed by the company's debt per rupiah (Muthmainna et al, 2. Based on previous research conducted by (Aprilia et al. , the results showed that capital structure as measured using the Debt To Equity Ratio has an influence on company value. Based on previous research conducted by (Dhany et al. , 2024, Ayem & Nugroho, 2. it shows that capital structure as measured using the Debt To Equity Ratio has no effect on company value. Sales Growth According to Pantow . Sales Growth is the company's operational success in the past period and can be used as a prediction of future growth. Sales growth is defined as an increase in income obtained by a company from its sales activities during a certain period (Sakinah & Sari, 2. Sales growth is an important indicator in assessing company performance (Agustin et al. , 2. Based on previous research conducted by (Herwinna et al. , it shows that sales growth has a positive and significant influence on company value. 1259 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. 2, 2025 Dividend Payout Ratio Dividend Payout Ratio is a ratio that shows how much profit is given to shareholders in the form of dividends. According to Herlianto . Dividend Payout Ratio is a certain percentage of company profits that is paid as cash dividends (Akuba & Hasmirati, 2. The Dividend Payout Ratio shows the company's ability to pay short-term and long-term debts (Malik & Kodriyah, 2. Dividend Payout Ratio is the percentage of net profit distributed as dividends (Rachmani & Santoso, 2. Based on previous research conducted by (Aziziah et , 2024. Ramadlonna & Shofiyah, 2. shows that dividend policy as measured by the Dividend Payout Ratio is unable to moderate the influence of capital structure as measured by the Debt To Equity Ratio, and profitability as measured by Return On Assets on Company Value. Company Value Company value is a complex concept that can be influenced by various factors such as financial performance, growth strategy, and various other factors. Company value is influenced by various factors which can be measured through share prices (Fama & French, 1. Financial performance such as profitability ratios and capital structure can be influenced by share prices and ultimately company value (Nugrogo & Yani, 2. The results of previous research conducted by (Sari & Hidayat, 2. show that profitability and capital structure play an important role in determining company value. The results of previous research conducted by (Wibowo & Sari, 2. show that effective risk management can increase company value. METHOD This research uses quantitative methods with an associative approach. According to Sugiyono . an associative approach is research that is used to formulate a problem in research that asks about the relationship between two or more variables. The objects of this research are companies in the property and real estate sector listed on the Indonesian stock exchange for the 2021-2023 period. The data in this research is secondary data in the form of financial reports taken via the Indonesian Stock Exchange website, namely . The population in this study was 92 companies. The sample in this research consisted of 30 The sampling technique in this research used purposive sampling. The analysis technique in this research uses classical assumption tests and statistical tests. This research aims to determine the influence or relationship between the variables return on assets, debt to equity ratio, and sales growth on company value with the dividend payout ratio as a moderating RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Classical Assumption Test Normality Test The normality test is used to determine whether the data used in this research is normally distributed or not. A good regression is where the data used is normally distributed. The normality test in this study used the Kolmogrov-Smirnov normality test with a significance value above 0. The results of the normality test can be seen in table 1 below : Table 1. Normality Test One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test Unstandardized Residual Normal Parameters Mean Std.

Source: SPSS Processed Data 26, 2025 Table 1 shows that the value of Asymp. Sig . -taile. 200 > 0. This shows that the data is normally distributed Multicollinearity Test The multicollinearity test is used to determine whether in the regression model there is a correlation between the independent variables or not. A good regression model should not have multicollinearity. The multicollinearity test was carried out by analyzing the correlation between variables by calculating the tolerance value > 10 and the Variance Inflation Factor value < 10. The results of the multicollinearity test can be seen in table 2 below : Table 2 Multicollinearity Test Collinearity Statistics Model Tolerance VIF ROA DER DPR Source : SPSS Processed Data 26, 2025 Table 2 shows that there is no multicollinearity between independent variables in the regression model. This can be seen from the tolerance values for the variables Return On Assets. Debt To Equity Ratio. Sales Growth and Dividend Payout Ratio > 0. 10 and the VIF value < 10. Linearity Test The Linearity Test is used to test whether the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable is linear. The linearity test was carried out using the Lagrange Multiplier, if the calculated CA value < CA table then the hypothesis stating the linear model is accepted. The results of the linearity test can be seen in table 3 below : Table 3 Linearity Test Model Summaryb Model R Square Adjusted R Square Std. Error of the Estimate Durbin-Watson Source : SPSS Processed Data 26, 2025 Table 3 shows the RA value of 0. 421 with an observation n value of 90, so the calculated cA = 90y0. 421 = 37. This value is compared with the cA table with df = 90 and a significance level of 0. 05, so the cA table value is 113. So that the calculated cA value < table cA, it can be concluded that the regression model used is linear. 1261 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. 2, 2025 Statistical Analysis Moderated Regression Analysis Moderated Regression Analysis is an analysis technique used to maintain sample integrity and provide a basis for controlling the influence of moderator variables.
