This study uses the document analysis method of social research for exploring the theoretical model and empirical results on how earnings per share, debt to equity ratio, and company size on stock returns. The results showed from various empirical results, there is still little research on the ability of earning per share, debt to equity ratio, and company size as variables to analyze manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
