This study aims to determine the stock performance of PT. Kalbe Farma Tbk during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative descriptive approach by linking company financial statement data with the phenomenon of the COVID-19 pandemic is the method used in this study. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the performance of PT. Kalbe Farma Tbk before and during the COVID-19 pandemic on the dependent variable (stock return), namely the Current ratio, had a significant effect on Stock Return. However, based on the results of hypothesis testing regarding the effect of Earnings Per Share and Net profit margin on Stock Return partially, it can be concluded that these variables do not have a significant effect on Stock Return.
