- Abstract
Every company aims to maximize firm value, a crucial goal in various industries. Key determinants of firm value include firm size, sales growth, Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), business age, Return On Assets (ROA), and total asset turnover. Understanding the interplay of these variables in shaping firm value is of utmost importance. This study delves into the 2021 firm value of manufacturing companies, utilizing the c-means clustering method to group them based on these value-influencing factors. The c-means method is a potent tool for data clustering, enabling the identification of meaningful patterns within datasets. Analysis reveals that configuring the c-means method with two distinct groups is the optimal approach for clustering these manufacturing companies. Group 1 represents a moderate firm value, while Group 2 boasts a significantly higher firm value. The results have multifaceted implications. Categorizing manufacturing companies into these two groups based on performance and value-affecting factors provides valuable insights for businesses and stakeholders. This information informs strategic decisions and interventions aimed at enhancing firm value, fostering growth, and ensuring long-term sustainability.
