The method used in this study is descriptive and verification methods.

The results show that capital structure, firm size, and earnings quality have significant and positive effects directly on stock returns and indirectly through stock liquidity. These findings imply that capital structure, firm size, earnings quality, and stock liquidity shall form positive information to investors under condition high trust of investors as the impact of decreasing asymmetric information. Consistent with signaling theory, this study proves that positive information on investors will be formed if there is an increase in investor confidence as a result of reduced information asymmetry.
