The data obtained were then analyzed for further analysis to produce conclusions. The results showed that the merger process between the three Islamic banks in Indonesia did not violate the business competition law because it did not occur in a position monopoly and the absence of monopolistic practices.

For this study, company specific and market specific secondary data have been collected from the official website of National Stock Exchange as these companies are actively traded on said exchange. To accomplish the objective of this study we relied on figure of Average Abnormal Returns (AAR) and Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAAR) for an event window of 41 days from day -20 to day +20. Return values have been statistically tested through cross sectional t-test. The notable finding of the research is that an under-reaction of market is observed before the announcement but the moment the announcement information becomes effective, investors start reacting from day +2 and the stock price jumps up, providing positive AARs to the investors. But after the positive respond to the merger information, finally investors have under-reacted to the event. CAARs figures also indicate the positive pattern of returns in the beginning of the event window but rapidly it becomes negative from day -16 to the last day of window that might be due to pandemic situation running throughout the world.
