  ABSTRACT: The aims of this study are to investigate the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio and Return on Equity on stock returns with dividend policy as an intervening variable on the property and real estate companies in Indonesia. We collected annual data for eighteen property and real estate companies in Indonesia from the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period of 2014-2018. We applied multiple linear regression model using SPSS and the Sobel test.

Furthermore, the result of Sobel test revealed Dividend Payout ratio (DPR) can be mediate the relationship of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and and Return on Equity (ROE) on stock returns. Based on these findings, we concluded that Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Return on Equity (ROE) have direct and indirect effects on Stock Return in 18 Indonesia’s property and real estate companies.
