Pengaruh Arus Kas Bebas, Collateralizable Asset, Utang, dan Pertumbuhan Penjualan Terhadap Kebijakan Dividen Pada Perusahaan Property dan Real Estate Tahun 2020-2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of free cash flow, collateralizable assets, debt, and sales growth on dividend policy in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This study uses secondary data in the form of annual financial reports obtained through the IDX official website. The sampling method was conducted using purposive sampling based on certain criteria, resulting in 15 companies with a total of 75 observations during the 2020-2024 period. The data were analyzed using a Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) approach with the help of WarpPLS software. The results show that dividend policy is influenced by the company's internal financial condition, particularly related to cash flow flexibility and funding structure, while sales growth is not always in line with an increase in dividend distribution. These findings emphasize the importance of balancing expansion needs and shareholder interests. Therefore, companies are advised to optimize cash flow management and asset structure in determining dividend policy, while investors need to consider fundamental financial factors in making investment decisions wisely and sustainably.
