Abstract

This study examines the effect of financial performance on stock returns and the moderating role of Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure (CSRD) in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2022–2024. This study is motivated by inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between financial performance and stock returns, as well as the increasing importance of sustainability disclosure and ESG issues in investment decisions.

This study uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling techniques. The final sample consisted of 73 firm-year observations after excluding outlier data. Secondary data were obtained from annual reports, financial statements, sustainability reports, and stock price data. Financial performance was measured using Return on Equity (ROE), while CSRD was measured using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards 2021 disclosure index. The hypotheses were tested using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).

The results show that financial performance measured by ROE does not significantly affect stock returns. In contrast, CSRD has a positive and significant effect on stock returns, indicating that investors increasingly consider sustainability disclosure and corporate transparency in investment evaluation. However, CSRD is not proven to moderate the relationship between financial performance and stock returns. These findings suggest that investors in the Indonesian energy sector increasingly pay attention to non-financial information rather than relying only on profitability indicators in making investment decisions.
