Abstract
Seasoned Equity Offering (SEO) is an additional public offering of a company’s shares in order to generate extra financing for business expansion or fulfillment of its liability. Based on Jakarta Stock Exchange data, 11 listed companies conducted SEO during year 2001. However, only 8 companies meet the requirements as samples for this research. In order to evaluate financial and operational variables, this research uses financial statement figures published 2 year prior and after SEO’s. Current ratio (CR), debt to equity ratio (DER) are chosen to represent financial variables, while net profit margin (NPM) and return on investment (ROI) represent operational variables.
