Struktur modal merupakan salah satu keputusan penting manajer keuangan dalam meningkatkan profitabilitas perusahaan. Profitabilitas yaitu tingkat kemampuan perusahaan dalam menghasilkan laba, yang secara teoritis disebut Return On Equity (ROE). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penyebab perusahaan tekstil yang terdaftar di BEI memiliki laba yang rendah dengan angka profitabilitas yang buruk dan menganalisis struktur modal yang optimal agar profitabilitas perusahaan tekstil yang terdaftar di BEI bisa optimal. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perusahaan yang memiliki rasio struktur modal dengan hasil perbandingan negatif adalah struktur modal pada perusahaan yang mengalami kerugian. Sedangkan struktur modal dengan hasil perbandingan positif adalah struktur modal pada perusahaan yang mengalami laba.

The Role of Capital Structure on Profitability in Textile Companies Listed on BEI. Capital structure is one of the important decisions of financial managers in improving the profitability of the company. Profitability is the level of a company's ability to generate profits, theoretically called Return On Equity (ROE). The purpose of this study is to determine the causes of textile companies listed on the BEI have a low profit with a poor profitability and analyze the optimal capital structure for profitability of textile companies listed on the BEI can be optimal. The type of research used in this study is quantitative. The results showed that firms that have a ratio of capital structure with the result of negative comparison is the capital structure in companies that suffered losses. While the capital structure with the result of a positive comparison is the capital structure in companies that experience profit. This research is expected to provide additional knowledge for readers about the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) to profitability (ROE), as well as additional reference for further research. Keywords: Equity, Debt, Profitability

Financing Behavior

Abstract Existing theories of a firm’s optimal capital structure seem to fail in explaining why many healthy and profitable firms rely heavily on equity financing, even though benefits associated with debt (like tax shields) appear to be high and the bankruptcy risk low. This holds in particular for firms that show a strong commitment toward their workforce and are popular among employees. We demonstrate that such financing behavior may be driven by implicit arrangements made between a firm and its managers/employees. Equity financing generally strengthens a firm’s credibility to honor implicit promises. Debt, however, has an adverse effect on the enforceability of these arrangements because too much debt increases the firm’s reneging temptation, as some of the negative consequences of breaking implicit promises can be shifted to creditors. Our analysis provides an explanation for why some firms only use little debt financing. Predictions made by our theory are in line with a number of empirical results, which seem to stay in contrast to existing theories on capital structure.
