Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh dividen kas dan share repurchase terhadap market-to-book ratio dengan menggunakan pendekatan aset dan ekuitas pada perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia periode 2013-2018. Variabel independen yang digunakan adalah variabel cash dividend dummy antara perusahaan yang membayar dividen dan yang tidak membayar dividen. Variabel independen yang kedua adalah share repurchase dummy antara perusahaan yang melakukan share repurchase dan yang tidak melakukan share repurchase. Variabel kontrol dari penelitian ini berupa size, profitability, leverage, cash holding, tangibility, capital expenditure, research and development expense serta stock price volatility. Dengan menggunakan analisis data panel, penelitian ini kemudian menemukan bahwa dividen kas dan share repurchase memiliki hubungan negatif yang signifikan terhadap market to book ratio of asset dan equity. Temuan penelitian konsisten dengan pecking order theory.
