Purpose: This study aims to hypothesize the companies that apply income smoothing to Industry trade, services, and investment on Indonesia Stock Exchange.
Theoretical framework: Theoretical basis of the income smoothing hypothesis was used to examine the differences in stock returns between the trading, service, and investment industries that apply income smoothing on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Test differences in stock risk between the trading, service, and investment industries that apply income smoothing and the trading, service, and investment industries do not determine income smoothing on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Findings: There is no significant difference between company returns and profits and returns of non-profit companies in trading, service, and investment sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. In addition, there is no significant difference between the shares of risk separator companies and the risk returns of non-company shares in trading, service, and investment companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The average risk level of companies that do income smoothing is lower than the average risk level of companies that do not. The level of risk in shares is a description of the volatility of share prices. The higher the variation in stock prices, the higher the risk investors face.
Originality/value: The study highlighted that changes in the information that occurs on a company’s profitability in various ways would be more likely to impact the follow-up of information users, including the application of income smoothing.
