Financial statements are the information used by investors and stakeholders for consideration of decision making. One of the important information is earnings. Quality earnings information can be relied on by users to predict the company's performance in the future. Earnings response coefficient (ERC) is a variable that measures the level of market reaction to the publication of earnings. Increasingly high market reaction means the earnings are qualified. But many other pieces of information that affect ERC, the increase in earnings is not always followed by an increase in market reaction. In this research, the other pieces of information are leverage, earnings persistence, size, and growth with free cash flow (FCF) as a moderating size and growth. The Sample of this research is 31 LQ45 companies which are listed in the IDX period 2015-2017. Sampling techniques to be used are the Non-Probability Sampling technique with Judgement Sampling Method. The data analysis method which is used in this research is the Structural Equation Model in WarpPls 5.0. The results' inner model and overall fittest are fulfilled. The conclusion showed that the leverage, size, and growth hasn’t affected the ERC, and free cash flow is not able to strengthen influence growth on ERC. However, earnings persistence has affected positively on ERC and free cash flow can strengthen influence size on ERC.Keywords: Earnings Response Coefficient, Leverage, Earnings Persistence, Size, Growth, Free Cash Flow

An optimal dividend policy is required because it can create a balance between dividends and current growth in the next period. The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence on the effect of free cash flow and leverage on dividend policy and firm size capability in moderating the effect of free cash flow and leverage against dividend policy. Companies going public listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) year 2013-2017 is the location of research with purposive sampling as a method of determining the sample. Companies that meet the criteria are 10 companies with a total of 39 observations. Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) was used to test in this research. The result showed that free cash flow had positive and leverage effect negatively on dividend policy. The study also found that firm size is able to strengthen the effect of free cash flow on dividend policy and weaken the influence of leverage on dividend policy.

Investors use financial statement information in their investment decisions. Earnings is usually the main consideration of investors in making decision. However, the increase in earnings is not always followed by positive stock price changes. It shows that in economic decision-making the investors not only need information about the company's financial condition, i.e profit, but also other information. Therefore, investors need useful tool to predict the up or rise of stock price namely earnings response coefficient which shows market reaction on earnings information published by company. If the investor perceived the information content of the announced profits as good quality then the investors will react positively to earnings anouncement.Therefore purpose of this study is to examine the effect of systematic risk, leverage and earnings persistence on earnings response coefficient at manufacturing companies listed on the Stock Exchange. The population in this study are all manufacturing companies listed on the IDX in 2015. The sample of this study is determined by the method of purposive sampling and this study obtained 56 sample companies. The study usesecondary data which is obtained from www.idx.co.id. The results of this study based on multiple regression analysis indicate that systematic risk, leverage and profit persistence have no effect on earnings response coefficient.
