This study aimed to seem at the political connections and characteristics of companies that are politically connected and without political connections within the Indonesia LQ-45 Index. Methodology: The samples during this study were 21 political-connected companies and five companies with no political connections within the Indonesian stock market for 2014-2018. The statistical model wont to test the hypothesis is the Ordinary least squares regression (OLS) Method.
