Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether there are differences in the Financial Performance of Telecommunication Companies before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research sample consists of telecommunication companies from six Southeast Asian countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam. Because the research data is not normally distributed, the hypothesis test uses the Wilcoxon Sign Test method. The results show that there are differences in the Current Ratio and Total Asset Turnover Ratio before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, there are differences in the Debt to Assets Ratio, Return on Assets Ratio, and Return on Equity Ratio between the period before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Current Ratio, Total Asset Turnover Ratio, and Debt to Assets Ratio have decreased, while the Return on Assets Ratio and Return on Equity Ratio have increased.
