Analisis pengaruh suku bunga, inflasi, debt to equity ratio (DER), ukuran perusahaan, dan umur perusahaan terhadap profitabilitas perusahaan sub sektor telekomunikasi yang terdaftar di BEI tahun 2016-2020

Abstract

Currently, investment activities are very popular with the people of Indonesia and
become one of the aspects that affect the economic development of a region. The
telecommunications sector is one of the sectors whose stocks show positive
movements. One of the ways to determine the capability of a company is to look at
the level of profitability of the company. Profitability can be influenced by factors
originating from outside the company such as interest rates, inflation, and
exchange rates which are generally used as benchmarks for the economy.
Meanwhile, there are also factors that come from within the company itself and
are usually related to decision making and strategies to be carried out such as
leverage, DER, company size, and company age. The purpose of this study was to
determine the effect of Interest Rates, Inflation, DER, Company Size, and Company
Age on Profitability, with the object being the telecommunication sub-sector
companies listed on the IDX in 2016-2020. This research is included in quantitative
research with the method used is multiple linear regression, using F-test and t-test
for hypothesis testing. The results of this study prove that interest rates, inflation,
DER, company size, and company age simultaneously have a significant effect on
company profitability. Partially, DER, firm size, and firm age have a significant
effect, however, interest rates and inflation have no significant effect on
profitability.
