STRATEGIC TIMING: ANALYZING MARKET TIMING STRATEGIES FOR NON-FINANCIAL COMPANIES' LEVERAGE

Aminah Piliang — 2024-04-21

This study investigates the impact of market timing strategies on the leverage of non-financial companies. Market timing involves making financial decisions based on expectations of future market movements. Using a sample of non-financial firms, we examine how companies strategically time their debt issuance and repayment activities in response to market conditions. Our analysis considers factors such as interest rate fluctuations, market volatility, and economic cycles. We employ quantitative methods to assess the effectiveness of different market timing strategies in influencing firms' leverage levels. The findings shed light on the dynamics between market conditions and corporate leverage decisions, providing valuable insights for financial managers, investors, and policymakers.

The analysis techniques used are descriptive statistical analysis, panel data regression testing, classical assumption testing, and interaction testing (MRA). The results showed that some profitability and dividend policies had a positive and significant effect on the value of the company, while leverage and company size did not have a significant effect on the value of the company. While the interaction test (MRA) results show that corporate governance can moderate profitability and dividend policy affects company value, corporate governance cannot moderate the effect of leverage and company size on company value. These findings provide valuable insights for companies in structuring sustainability activities and shaping dividend policies related to ownership structures. It also offers policy prescriptions on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the field of corporate financing policies.
