The present study aims to assess and scrutinize the impact of market power and revenue diversification on the level of Non-Performing Loans (NPL), which serves as an indicator of banking stability, through profitability during the COVID-19 pandemic. The population of interest includes all non-Sharia commercial banking institutions listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2022. A purposive sampling method was employed, resulting in a total of 264 observations. The data analysis was performed using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews version 10 software. The findings of this research reveal a direct positive and significant influence of market power and revenue diversification on bank profitability, as well as a direct negative and significant impact of market power, revenue diversification, and bank profitability on NPL. A noteworthy result derived from this study is the partial mediating role of profitability in the relationship between market power, revenue diversification, and NPL. Consequently, it is concluded that market power and revenue diversification play a pivotal role in enhancing profitability, mitigating credit risk, and ultimately improving banking stability. This study lends support to the non-structural approach of NEIO (New Empirical Industrial Organization), the Competition Fragility theory, and the Product Portfolio Theory. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this research, such as the focus solely on non-Sharia banking institutions due to their distinct characteristics compared to conventional commercial banks, as well as data constraints.

Voluntary disclosure is viewed as an essential communication tool through which the company's ideas can be promoted to potential stakeholders, which contributes to achieving the company's growth and sustainability. This study came to reveal the reality of voluntary disclosure in the Jordanian industrial companies and its impact on its market value. The descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, where content analysis of the financial reports published by 72 industrial companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange during the period (2016-2022). The study found that the level of disclosure of non-financial items included the aspects of the board of directors, social responsibility, and community policy were high, which reached 56%, compared to the level of disclosure of financial items, which reached 43%. This indicates that companies pay more attention to disclosing non-financial items than financial items. In addition, the study indicated that companies with a high level of voluntary disclosure have a better market value compared to those companies that have not disclosed or have a lower level of disclosure. Moreover, increasing voluntary disclosure of strategic information, financial information, and non-financial information increases the market-to-book value, because voluntary disclosure enhances the information available to investors about shares, which in turn improves the market value.
