Abstract

We investigate the differences of financial performance and stock trading volume during the MERS and COVID-19 periods on the Indonesia and Malaysia Stock Exchanges. We used Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test model is selected because we compared Indonesia and Malaysia to conduct a paired difference test of repeated measurements on a single sample to assess whether their population mean ranks differ. Our sample consist of 140 companies that getting from 713 companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange while Malaysia is composed of 345 companies from 597 listed company in Malaysia Stock Exchange. The results showed that MERS and COVID-19 have differences in total asset turnover (TATO) and stock trading volume on the Indonesia and Malaysia Stock Exchanges, while the Current Ratio as liquidity ratio and Debt to equity ratio as risk proxy have no differences on the Indonesia and Malaysia Stock Exchange. There is no difference in the operating Profit Margin as profitability ratio variable on the Indonesia Stock Exchange while there is a significant difference on the Malaysia Stock Exchange.
