Abstract:

In the current condition, PT Barito Pacific shows high volatility of pricing but strong support in Rp 900 per share from the technical analysis. Now, it can be seen that substantial financial changes have been made in the last ten years. The company's debt has been increasing and also growing from Rp6.745 billion in 2013 to Rp62.186 billion in 2022. The debt is mostly being used as strategic measures undertaken to extend the company's investment portfolio and enhance its competitive position. With the current condition, this research is to better comprehend the financial dynamics that influence the performance of PT Barito Pacific Tbk. Specifically, it examines the company's capital structure and how good the fundamentals of the company are. With PT Barito Pacific Tbk's ever-increasing reliance on debt financing, liquidity has been enhanced, and funds have been freed for development. However, those brought along financial issues, the most important of which was debt servicing and the overall financial soundness of the company. The study employs a hard mathematical analysis, financial ratio analysis, and the FCFF approach to establish future growth in revenues and profitability. The above findings indicate that PT Barito Pacific Tbk has borrowed to finance growth; this would have also increased its susceptibility to financial risk. Hence, the management needs to exercise strategic management to balance the aspirations of development with financial caution. This study indicates that in order for PT Barito Pacific Tbk to increase its shareholder value, management of its capital structure is indispensable, but it must ensure operational efficiency. The report provides strategic recommendations for the company to increase financial resilience, such as a process of optimizing debt levels and improving cash flows, with long-term financial growth plans appropriate to its goals.
