Abstract.
Various bankruptcy prediction models have been used to measure the movement
of stock prices, and thus the firms’ performance. This study is aimed at empirically exploring

the usefulness of the Olhson, Almant Modification, Grover, Springate, and Zmijewski models

for predicting bankruptcy of the 19 coal mining companies. It also attempts to measure

the effects of the scores of these bankruptcy prediction models on the stock prices of the coal

mining companies in Indonesia. The technique of analysis that used in this research is panel

regression. The results of the study showed that the bankruptcy prediction scores of the Ohlson

and Almant Modification were found to be the dominant prediction models that affected the

stock prices of the coal companies in Indonesia. This indicates that the bankruptcy prediction

model can be used as one of the approaches to measure the movement of stock prices and

performance of the coal mining companies in Indonesia.

Keywords:
bankruptcy, stock prices, coal mining companies.

Introduction

Various approaches have been adopted to measure the company financial performances;

one of them is using the bankruptcy prediction models. The bankruptcy prediction model has

been used to analyze the company performances of different industries. The first bankruptcy

prediction model was introduced by Altman (1968), known as Almant Z-Score. This model

has been widely used and still being relevant to predict a company whether it is bankrupt, in

grey area or healthy (Altman, et al, 2017). In 1995, Edward Almant later modified the model,

so that it can be used for predicting bankruptcy of manufacturing and non-manufacturing

companies.

After 1970s, several other models have been introduced to predict bankruptcy such

as Springate (1978); Ohlson (1980); Zmijewski (1983); and Grover and Lavin (2001).

The names of the models were given based on the name of the researchers who introduced

them for the first time. In his study, Jayasekera (2017) have identified four models of the

bankruptcy prediction, namely: the mathematic, neural network, statistic and the market

models. Meanwhile, Wu, et al (2010) categorized the bankruptcy models into the discriminant

model popularized by Altman in 1968, the logit model introduced by Ohlson in 1980, the

probit model developed by Zmijewski in 1984, the hazard model proposed by Shumway in

2001, and the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) probability model introduced by Hillegeist, et

al (2004).

In predicting the bankcruptcy, these models have different levels of accuracy based

on their measurements used (Purnajaya and Merkusiwati, 2014). For example, the Ohlson

model has added the company income variable and in totality, the model has seven variables.

Meanwhile, the modified Almant and Springate models have the similar four variables to

the Olson model, yet they have different types of variables, except the working capital of

the total assets. Finally, the models categorized the firm either into the healthy, grey area,

or bankrupted company with different scores. The detailed measurements of the models are

explained in the methodological section.

Many previous empirical studies in the developed countries have used different models

to predict the company performances. For example, in the United States of America; Charitou,

et al (2013) used the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model to predict the bankruptcy of the

non-financial companies. In England, Tinoco and Wilson (2013) predicted the bankruptcy

by using the network and Almant Z Score models. Ko, et al (2017) predicted the bankruptcy

of the solar energy company in Taiwan using the Z score model. Xu and Zhang (2009)

predicted the bankruptcy of the listed companies in the Japanese stock exchange using the

Almant Z and the Ohlson scores and then regressed them with the financial performances of

the bank institution and Keiretsu firms as the dependent variable.

Similar studies on the bankruptcy prediction in the developing countries have

also used different types of the bankruptcy prediction models. Marcinkevi

Kanapickien

using the combining models of the discriminant and the Box Cox. In Saudi Arabia, Al-

Kassar and Soileau (2014) predicted the bankruptcy of different companies (i.e., the mill,

transportation, heritage and museum, commercial companies, and the replenishment of

oil companies) using the Z-score model. Similarly, using the Z score model, Hussain,

et al (2014) measured bankruptcy of the textiles industry in Pakistan, while Al-Rawi, et

al (2011) investigated the bankruptcy of the glassware company in Jordan. Karamzadeh

(2013) predicted the bankruptcy of 90 stock exchange companies in Teheran using the

Almant Z score and the Ohlson models. In Thailand, Pongsatat, et al (2004) using the

Almant and Ohlson models to predict the performances of 60 bankrupted companies and

60 non-bankrupted companies.

In the context of Indonesia, in predicting the bankruptcy of the companies, many

previous studies have widely used a single Almant Z Score (Sudiyatno and Puspitasari,

2010), while only few other studies used different types of the bankruptcy prediction

models for companies of different sectors. For example, Sembiring (2016) used the Ohlson

model to predict the bankrupted companies. In predicting the bankruptcy, Rachmawati

(2016) applied the Almant model for the insurance company, Boedi and Tiara (2016)

for the telecommunication company, and Yunan and Rahmasari (2015) for Shariah Stock

Performance.

On the other hand, the previous studies that used more than one models for predicting

the bankruptcy of the company in Indonesia. Putera, et al (2017) predicted the bankruptcy

of the mining companies by using the Altman, Springate and Ohlson models. Gunawan, et

al (2016) applied the Altman, Grover and Zmijewski models for the manufactures company,

while Rahayu, et al (2016) used the Altman Z-Score, Springate, and the Zmijewski models

for the telecommunication companies in Indonesia.

Furthermore, Effendi, et al (2016) used the bankruptcy prediction model of the

Springate to estimate the stock prices of the telecommunication companies, while Andriawan

and Salean (2016) used the Almant model and analyzed its impact to the pharmacy company’s

stock prices. Adrian and Khoiruddin (2014) applied the Almant model and analyzed its

impact to the manufacturing company’s stock prices. They documented that the Almant

model affected the stock prices of the manufacturing companies (Adrian and Khoiruddin,

2014), the pharmacy companies (Andriawan and Salean, 2016), and the transportation

companies (Amaliawiati and Lestari, 2014) in Indonesia. Effendi et al. (2016) found that the

Springate model affected the stock prices, while Wulandari and Norita (2014) found that the

Ohlson model (O-score) affected the stock returns of the textile and garment companies in

Indonesia over the period 2010-2014. In short, these studies only used a single bankruptcy

prediction model to estimate the stock prices in Indonesia.

The above-reviewed studies showed that many previous empirical studies have only

adopted a single model to predict the performance of the firm, and yet its connection to the

stock prices was rarely done using various bankcruptcy prediction models, thus provided

insufficient empirical findings. Bankruptcy prediction models might affect the stock prices,

indicating that when a company goes into bankruptcy, its stock price goes down or unchanged.

Relying only on a single model to predict the bankcruptcy might lead to an inaccurate

estimation, thus it, in turns, lead to the improper policy recommendation. Anticipating this,

the present study used various models to predict the bankruptcy of the firms and analyzed

its impact to the firms’ stock prices in Indonesia. Thus, this study is among the first to use

various bankruptcy models of the Olhson, Almant Modification, Grover, Springate, and the

Zmijewski to estimate the stock prices in the Indonesian stock markets. This is the first

novelty of this study that is in its comparison among the bankruptcy prediction models.

Estimating comparatively among these models would show the most suitable and accurate

model to be adopted to predict the movement of stock prices in Indonesia. Secondly, this

study focuses its analysis on the coal mining companies, which has no previous empirical

studies on this important industry in the Indonesian economy. Considering the shortcomings

and mixed or inconclusive empirical findings of the previous studies on the relationships

between the bankruptcy prediction models and stock prices in Indonesia, thus this study is

hoped to provide a more comprehensive and enriching empirical evidences on this issue by

comparing various bankruptcy prediction models (i.e., the Olhson, Almant Modification,

Grover, Springate, and the Zmijewski models) and then analysing its impact to the stock

prices of the coal mining industry in Indonesia.

The findings of this study are hoped to shed some lights for the inventors when

selecting which companies to invest the monies, for the managers to promote the

performance of the companies, and for the regulator to design policy in enhancing the

stock market in the biggest Muslim populous country in the world, Indonesia. The rest

of this study is structured as follows. Section 2 provides the empirical framework and

followed by the discussion of the findings and their implications in Section 3. Finally,

Section 4 concludes the study.

Method

Data of this study is gathered from the financial report of 19 companies in the coal

mining sector that are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) over the period

2013 to 2015. These data are accessed through the website www.idx.co.id and firms are

selected using the purposive sampling technique. The firms investigated in this study are

the coal mining company that published their audited financial reports during the period

2013-2015. As for the stock prices, the closing stock prices of 19 coal-mining companies

are used.

To predict the bankruptcy of the companies, the bankruptcy prediction models of the

Olhson, Almant Modification, Grover, Springate, and the Zmijewski are used. The formula,

description, and score categorization for each model are presented in Table 1.

After measuring the scores for each bankruptcy prediction model, in the next step, the

panel regression model is estimated to explore the impacts of bankruptcy prediction models

to the stock prices of the coal mining companies in Indonesia. The scores of five bankruptcy

prediction models investigated in this study are then treated as the independent variables to

predict the stock prices.
