Analysis the Influence of Liquidity, Solvency Activity and Profitability on Profit Growth
Objectives: The aim of this research is to reveal that agricultural sector plays a crucial role in strengthening Indonesia's economic stability and ensuring food security. Despite this, profit growth in companies within this sector showed variability during the 2019–2023 period. Methodology: This study investigates the influence of the Current Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Total Asset Turnover, and Return on Assets on profit growth. Employing a causal research design, the study population comprised 46 agricultural companies. Fifteen companies were purposively selected as samples. Data analysis was performed using panel data regression through Eviews 13 software. Findings: The findings reveal that the Current Ratio and Total Asset Turnover do not have a significant impact on profit growth, whereas the Debt to Equity Ratio and Return on Assets positively and significantly affect profit growth. These results are intended to provide guidance for companies and investors in formulating financial strategies that promote sustainable profit growth in the agricultural sector. Conclusion: The empirical results reveal that CR and TATO do not exert a significant influence on profit growth, while both DER and ROA have a positive and measurable effect.

The Effect of Inflation and Profitability on Stock Returns in LQ45 Firms Registered on the Indonesian Stock Market
Objectives: This research intends to investigate how inflation and profitability influence the stock returns of firms listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Methodology: This research employs a regression technique based on panel data utilizing the Common Effect Model (CEM) method. The information analyzed consists of secondary data obtained from 25 LQ45 firms spanning the years 2017 to 2021. To confirm the integrity of the regression model, classical assumption evaluations, including tests for multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity, were performed. Findings: The results of the analysis show that neither inflation nor profitability have a significant effect on stock returns in LQ45 companies. Although inflation has a positive coefficient, this relationship is not statistically significant. Meanwhile, profitability shows a negative relationship to stock returns, but is also not significant. This suggests that other factors outside of inflation and profitability are likely to play a greater role in determining stock returns in the Indonesian capital market. Conclusion: This study indicates that investors cannot fully rely on inflation and profitability variables as determinants of stock returns in LQ45 companies. Other factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry performance, and market expectations, are likely to have a greater influence in determining stock returns on the IDX.
