FDPM after the global price crisis in the coal industry

Abstract

Using the Altman model, the Springate model and the Ohlson model, this study aimed to determine if these financial distress prediction models (FDPM) would perform well in forecasting financial distress in the coal industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2012 to 2016. Furthermore, this study compared which of these models is the most appropriate for predicting financial distress. The results showed that it is possible to use FDPM to forecast financial distress in relation to the coal companies listed on the IDX. The calculations obtained from the three methods show that some coal companies are experiencing significant financial distress, and the Springate model is the most appropriate FDPM for predicting financial distress.
