Profitability is one of the most important indicators for assessing a company's financial performance, as reflects the extent to which management efficiently manages resources to generate profits for the company. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of working capital turnover, cash turnover, accounts receivable turnover, and inventory turnover on the profitability of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique with a non-probabilistic sampling approach based on specific criteria. As a result, 36 companies qualified for this study. Data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 25. The results of this study indicate that working capital turnover has a positive effect on profitability, while cash turnover has no significant effect. Meanwhile, receivable turnover has a positive effect on profitability, and inventory turnover has a negative effect on profitability. These results indicate that effective current asset management in company can increase profits, while the low contribution of cash turnover indicates that liquidity don”t always correlate with profitability, the negative impact of inventory turnover indicates the potential for decreased profits if inventory management is suboptimal.. This study confirms that working capital management has diverse impact on profitability. Working capital and accounts receivable turnover are driving factors for improved financial performance, while cash turnover does not directly impact profits, inventory turnover can negatively impact profitability if not managed effectively.

The Regional Drinking Water Company (Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum/PDAM) Lae Nciho, Dairi Regency, faces significant challenges related to the low level of financial literacy and financial behavior of its human resources, which negatively affect financial performance, particularly the Return on Equity (ROE) indicator. A lack of understanding and discipline in internal financial management has led to waste and operational inefficiency. This phenomenon highlights the importance of improving financial literacy and financial behavior as a strategic effort to enhance the company’s efficiency and profitability. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the influence of human resources’ financial behavior and operational efficiency on financial performance, with financial literacy serving as a moderating variable. This research applies a quantitative descriptive approach, using data analysis with the SEM PLS 3.0 method. The study involved a total population and sample of 70 employees of the Regional Drinking Water Company (Perumda Air Minum) Lae Nciho in Dairi Regency, particularly those working in finance and operations divisions, selected through purposive sampling techniques. The findings reveal that, partially, the variables of human resources’ financial behavior and operational efficiency significantly influence financial performance and affect financial literacy. Moreover, financial literacy significantly influences financial performance. However, simultaneously, financial behavior and operational efficiency do not significantly affect financial performance when moderated by financial literacy.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of investment and firm growth on the improvement of firm value, with profitability serving as a mediating factor. This study employs a quantitative research design using secondary data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The population includes infrastructure sector companies listed on the IDX from 2021 to 2023, and purposive sampling was applied to select 29 companies, yielding a total of 87 firm-year observations. Path analysis with SPSS software was used to test the hypotheses and examine both direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings reveal that investment has a significant positive impact on firm value, indicating that firms with higher levels of investment tend to enhance their market valuation. Similarly, firm growth contributes positively to firm value, suggesting that sustainable expansion fosters greater investor confidence. Moreover, profitability is proven to mediate the relationship between investment and firm value, showing that the benefits of investment are maximized when they lead to improved profitability. Profitability also significantly mediates the relationship between firm growth and firm value, underscoring its role as a key driver in translating growth strategies into shareholder value. These results highlight the importance of profitability as a strategic element in strengthening firm value. Practically, the study suggests that managers should prioritize profitable investments and sustainable growth strategies to maximize firm value, while investors may consider profitability as a central indicator when evaluating firm performance.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how the operational budget planning process is applied to the Mebel Serba Usaha (Mebel Serba Usaha) business, which falls into the micro, small, and medium-sized business category. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, collecting data through direct interviews and observing business activities. The obtained data was then examined to determine costs. Furthermore, sales records over the past four years were evaluated for their use. The analysis revealed that Mebel Serba Usaha has never created an operational budget. This situation makes it difficult for the company to manage its finances, which ultimately impacts performance and profitability. The study shows that an operational budget is a crucial tool for more targeted financial management. Operational budget planning helps companies develop long-term business plans and organize and monitor expenses. The results of this study also emphasize that the absence of a budget tends to make companies lack a clear reference point for determining sales targets and controlling production costs. With structured budget planning, companies can more easily identify spending priorities, estimate cash flow, and assess the efficiency of resource use. Furthermore, implementing an operational budget can improve managerial discipline because every financial decision is based on careful planning, not just on immediate needs. Another benefit is increased transparency in fund management, thereby minimizing the risk of waste or misallocation of costs. Therefore, this study provides a practical contribution in the form of recommendations on the importance of implementing an operational budget for micro, small, and medium enterprises, particularly in maintaining sustainability and increasing competitiveness amidst increasingly fierce business competition.This research is expected to be a reference for other MSMEs in developing a more effective and sustainable financial system.

The development of Islamic banking plays a crucial role in driving economic growth through the principles of fair finance. However, the performance of Islamic banks still faces challenges in maintaining stable profitability. Two key factors often cited as determinants of performance are risk management and customer satisfaction. On the one hand, effective risk management is necessary to control problem financing, while on the other hand, customer satisfaction fosters loyalty and funding stability. However, the existing literature tends to examine these two aspects separately, thus lacking a complete picture of their integrative relationship with profitability. This study, a systematic literature review (SLR), aims to analyze the relationship between risk management, customer satisfaction, and profitability of Islamic banks, as well as their implications for economic growth. The review process adopted the PRISMA 2020 protocol, encompassing academic publications from 2015–2025 from various databases. Article selection was conducted using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, ensuring that only relevant studies were further analyzed. The study's findings demonstrate two key pillars supporting Islamic banking performance: effective risk management—particularly in controlling problem financing—and a high level of customer satisfaction, which supports loyalty and the stability of third-party funds. However, the findings also indicate a methodological gap. The literature rarely develops models that examine the simultaneous influence of risk management and customer satisfaction on profitability. Furthermore, the limitations of qualitative research and the weaknesses of customer satisfaction measurement instruments hinder a more comprehensive understanding. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of developing a more integrative theory of Islamic banking performance. Future managerial strategies should emphasize the harmonization of risk management and service orientation, so that Islamic banks not only maintain profitability but also contribute more significantly to economic growth.

Banking is a key pillar of the financial system, playing a crucial role as an intermediary between those with excess funds and those in need of financing. In the context of post-pandemic economic recovery in the 2022–2024 period, bank sustainability and resilience, particularly in terms of profit-generating ability, are crucial aspects to consider. This study was conducted to analyze the extent to which capital structure and intermediation efficiency influence the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Capital structure in this study is proxied by the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), while intermediation efficiency is measured by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The profitability indicator used is Return on Assets (ROA), which reflects a bank's effectiveness in utilizing its assets to generate profits. This research methodology uses a quantitative approach through multiple linear regression analysis with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports from 111 banks for the 2022–2024 period. The analysis results show that simultaneously, CAR and LDR variables have a significant effect on ROA. Furthermore, both variables have been shown to contribute positively to increasing bank profitability. In other words, maintaining adequate capital and efficient credit management can strengthen overall financial performance. This finding offers strategic implications for bank management in formulating capital and liquidity management policies. Optimizing these two aspects not only impacts short-term profit achievement but also contributes to the stability and sustainability of banking profitability in the long term. Therefore, banks need to ensure a strong capital strategy coupled with efficient intermediation to be more resilient in facing future economic dynamics.

This study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure, liquidity, sales growth, and green accounting, assessed through environmental performance and environmental costs, on the profitability of companies. The research focuses on the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period, which represents one of the most dynamic and environmentally impactful industries in Indonesia. The sample consists of 30 companies selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria, ensuring the representativeness and relevance of the data analyzed. The study employs multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 22.0 to test the hypotheses and measure the extent to which the independent variables contribute to profitability as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that liquidity and sales growth exert a positive and significant influence on profitability, indicating that firms with higher liquidity levels and stronger sales growth are better positioned to enhance their financial performance. In contrast, capital structure demonstrates a negative and significant effect, suggesting that higher levels of debt reduce profitability due to increased financial burdens. Similarly, green accounting, when assessed through environmental performance, also shows a negative and significant impact, implying that companies focusing on environmental initiatives may face higher costs that suppress short-term profitability. However, green accounting as measured by environmental costs does not show any significant effect on profitability, highlighting that disclosure or allocation of environmental costs alone may not directly translate into financial outcomes. Overall, the study concludes that capital structure, liquidity, sales growth, and green accounting—when measured through both environmental performance and costs—jointly influence the profitability of food and beverage companies on the IDX during the observed period.

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity and credit risk on the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2018–2022. Profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity is proxied by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), while credit risk is measured using the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio. The research employs a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to test the partial and simultaneous influence of the independent variables on profitability. Data were obtained from the annual financial reports of banks published on the IDX, covering a five-year observation period. The results of the analysis show that credit risk, as measured by NPL, has a significant negative effect on bank profitability. This finding reflects that the higher the NPL ratio, the lower the bank’s ability to generate returns on assets, emphasizing the importance of effective credit quality management. In contrast, the liquidity level measured by LDR demonstrates a positive but statistically insignificant effect on ROA. This suggests that although liquidity plays a role in supporting banking operations, its direct impact on profitability is relatively weak when considered independently. However, when examined simultaneously, both credit risk and liquidity significantly affect bank profitability. These findings imply that effective credit risk management is a crucial determinant of financial performance in the banking sector. High levels of non-performing loans can erode bank profits, while optimal liquidity management supports operational efficiency, even if its impact is not strongly significant in isolation. From a managerial perspective, banks need to strengthen monitoring of loan quality, implement more prudent credit policies, and adopt sustainable liquidity strategies to enhance profitability. For regulators, the results highlight the importance of supervising asset quality and ensuring adequate liquidity management in the banking system. This study contributes to the literature on banking performance by providing empirical evidence on the interaction between credit risk, liquidity, and profitability in the Indonesian banking sector.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the income of female entrepreneurs in the banana chips business in Unaaha City, Konawe Regency. This research was conducted in Unaaha City, focusing on two female entrepreneurs who are actively engaged in the banana chips business. The sample was selected using random sampling, targeting individuals who could provide relevant data for the research. The study utilized both primary and secondary data sources to gather comprehensive information. Primary data was collected through interviews with the entrepreneurs, while secondary data was obtained from relevant records and reports. To achieve the research objectives, an income analysis method was applied to evaluate the income levels of the banana chips businesses. The findings revealed that the average monthly income from the banana chips businesses in Unaaha City was Rp 11,084,532, with a typical entrepreneur earning approximately Rp 5,542,266 per month. In comparison, the average total income was Rp 10,262,500 per month, and the average total costs amounted to Rp 4,720,234 per month. This income analysis provides insight into the economic viability of banana chips businesses operated by female entrepreneurs in Unaaha City, indicating that these businesses can generate substantial income despite challenges. The study highlights the role of female entrepreneurs in contributing to the local economy and provides valuable information for future business development strategies. Furthermore, it suggests that with proper support, such as access to training and capital, female entrepreneurs in the region can improve their business sustainability and profitability. This research could serve as a reference for similar studies and could help policymakers design programs that support small-scale female entrepreneurs in the region.

Sharia financing is a key instrument that Islamic banks must promote in channeling third-party funds. This aligns with the basic principles of Islamic banking, which emphasize fairness, partnership, and business sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to examine how various Islamic financing schemes impact Islamic bank profitability. This study focuses on Bank Mega Syariah, using secondary data sourced from quarterly financial reports for the period 2017 to 2024. The financing variables analyzed include musyarakah, mudharabah, murabahah, and ijarah, while profitability is measured using relevant financial performance indicators. The analysis method used is a quantitative approach using regression techniques to examine the effect of each type of financing on bank profitability. The results show that musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah-based financing have a positive and significant impact on profitability, meaning that the higher the distribution of these three types of financing, the greater their contribution to increasing bank profits. These findings indicate that the business partnership model, profit-sharing system, and profit margin stipulated in the murabahah contract significantly contribute to maintaining profit growth. Conversely, ijarah financing did not significantly impact profitability. This may be due to the characteristics of ijarah, which tends to be oriented towards fixed assets or leases, resulting in a relatively limited contribution to increasing short-term profits. Overall, this study provides important implications for Islamic bank management to further optimize the proportion of musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah financing as a strategy to boost financial performance and maintain business continuity amidst the competitive Islamic banking industry.

This study aims to examine the influence of price, promotion, and product quality on the repurchase intention of Kopi Kenangan products among students of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Mulawarman University. The research focuses on how effective marketing strategies can foster customer loyalty toward local coffee brands. The theoretical framework is based on the marketing mix, consumer decision-making processes, and indicators of customer loyalty. The study employs a quantitative research method, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents. The respondents were selected using purposive sampling, based on specific criteria determined by the researcher to ensure they could provide relevant information aligned with the research objectives. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The findings indicate that price, promotion, and product quality each have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention. Among these factors, product quality exerts the strongest influence, followed by promotion, and finally, price. These results suggest that enhancing product quality, implementing effective promotional strategies, and maintaining reasonable pricing can significantly increase customers’ likelihood of making repeat purchases. Based on the results, this study recommends that Kopi Kenangan continue to prioritize maintaining high and consistent product quality, as it plays a crucial role in shaping repurchase intentions. Additionally, promotional efforts should be continuously optimized to attract and retain customers in an increasingly competitive coffee market. Pricing strategies should also be monitored to remain competitive while ensuring profitability. Overall, the study concludes that product quality, supported by strategic promotions and competitive pricing, is essential for building and sustaining customer loyalty. By focusing on these factors, Kopi Kenangan can strengthen its market position and foster long-term relationships with its customers

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current asset management, specifically cash, receivables, and inventory, and its impact on a company's ability to generate profits. The study focused on companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023. The research approach used a quantitative method with secondary data sourced from annual financial reports. The study sample included 11 companies, resulting in a total of 44 observational data sets over four years. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software to examine the relationships and influences between the study variables. The test results showed that cash management did not significantly influence profitability. This indicates that the amount of available cash does not always correlate with profit, possibly because cash funds are not optimally utilized in productive activities. Conversely, receivables management showed a negative correlation with profitability. This finding suggests that high receivables can burden cash flow and reduce a company's ability to generate profits. Meanwhile, inventory management has a positive and significant impact on profitability, indicating that good inventory control can support smooth production and sales, thereby increasing profits. Together, these three variables explained 68.4% of the variation in company profitability, while the remaining 31.6% was influenced by factors outside the model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, and marketing strategy. These findings provide insights for automotive company management to prioritize inventory management and review cash and receivables policies to optimize financial performance.

This study examines the phenomenon of the religious jargon “Go Berkah No Riba” (Go Blessed, No Interest) as a digital marketing communication strategy employed by entrepreneurs on social media, particularly Facebook. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and visual discourse analysis, this research seeks to understand how the jargon is interpreted, constructed, and widely disseminated in the context of product marketing and business opportunities. The findings indicate that “Go Berkah No Riba” functions not only as a marker of religious identity but also as a rhetorical device that combines spiritual values with aspirations for material success. Visual analysis of promotional materials, such as flyers and Facebook posts, reveals the use of hyperbolic language, symbolic imagery—such as the Kaaba and piles of money—and religious narratives designed to build credibility and persuade potential consumers. The integration of religious elements with economic appeal creates a sharia-compliant business image that simultaneously promises profitability. However, the study also uncovers ambiguity in the use of this jargon. On the one hand, it can strengthen the image of a business operating ethically according to Islamic principles. On the other hand, it risks being exploited merely as a marketing gimmick without a strong foundation in ethical business practices. This creates the potential for a gap between the religious message communicated and the actual business conduct. The findings underscore the importance of critical literacy in understanding religious communication strategies within the digital business sphere. Consistency between religious messaging and real-world business practices is crucial for maintaining consumer trust and avoiding the excessive commodification of religious values. Therefore, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of religion-based marketing communication in the era of digital transformation.

This study aims to analyze and examine the influence of company size, profitability, and liquidity on going-concern audit opinions in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Going-concern audit opinions are important indicators provided by auditors to assess the company's future business continuity. Factors such as company size, profitability, and liquidity are often associated with the auditor's likelihood of issuing such an opinion. The research method used is a quantitative method with an associative approach. The types and sources of data used in this study are secondary data in the form of annual financial reports of companies listed on the IDX during the 2019–2023 period. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method, namely determining samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research objectives. From this process, 375 observational data samples were obtained. Data processing and analysis were carried out using IBM SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) version 27 software, which allows for accurate and measurable statistical testing. The results of the study indicate that company size does not affect going-concern audit opinions, so the size of the company's assets is not a determining factor for auditors in issuing such an opinion. Meanwhile, profitability was shown to have a significant influence on going-concern audit opinions, with companies with higher profitability tending to receive unmodified going-concern audit opinions. Conversely, liquidity had no effect on going-concern audit opinions, indicating that the ability to meet short-term obligations is not always a primary consideration for auditors. These findings are expected to contribute to company management, auditors, and investors' understanding of the factors influencing going-concern audit opinions.  

This study aims to examine the effect of financial technology, fee-based income, and BOPO on the profitability of Islamic banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. The research is motivated by the rapid development of digital financial services and the importance of operational efficiency in enhancing the financial performance of Islamic banks. This research employs a quantitative approach with purposive sampling. The data were obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id) and the annual financial reports of Islamic banking institutions. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results show that, partially, financial technology and fee-based income do not have a significant effect on profitability, while BOPO has a negative and significant effect. However, simultaneously, all three variables have a significant effect on profitability. Future studies are expected to include additional relevant variables and extend the observation period

This study aims to compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks operating in Jambi Province during the 2021–2023 period. The approach used is comparative quantitative, with descriptive analysis and independent sample t-tests. Five key financial ratios were analyzed in this study: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Data were obtained from the quarterly financial reports of each sample bank, thus reflecting actual financial performance on a periodic and ongoing basis. The analysis shows significant differences in three key financial ratios: ROA, ROE, and BOPO. Conventional banks demonstrate higher levels of profitability and operational efficiency than Islamic banks. High ROA and ROE values reflect the effectiveness of conventional banks in generating profits from their assets and capital. Furthermore, lower BOPO ratios in conventional banks indicate a better ability to control operating costs. In contrast, no significant differences were found in the NIM and LDR ratios, indicating equality between the two types of banks in generating interest margins and disbursing credit or financing to customers. This finding has important implications for the development of the Islamic banking sector to be more competitive, particularly in terms of efficiency and profitability. Islamic banks are expected to improve their asset and operational management strategies to increase competitiveness amidst the dual banking system in Indonesia. This research also contributes to regulators in formulating policies that support the growth of Islamic banks in the regions. For academics and practitioners, this study broadens understanding of the dynamics of local banking financial performance and serves as a reference for further research on the effectiveness of the dual banking system in the regional context.

The study aims to explain the concept of evaluating the efficiency of financial and economic performance in government commercial banks, specifically focusing on Rasheed Bank’s Al-Numaniyah Branch, for the period 2015-2023. The study highlights the importance of using specific criteria or indicators to assess the financial and economic performance of the bank, particularly its efficiency in managing assets and liabilities. The research identifies key financial ratios such as the trading ratio, which increased to 2:1 in 2023 compared to 1:2 in 2020. This increase indicates that the current assets are now twice the value of current liabilities, offering security to the bank’s stakeholders and creditors. This improved ratio is a significant sign of financial stability and effective asset management, offering valuable insights into the bank's financial health. The research also emphasizes the necessity of evaluating the management of current assets and liabilities. It recommends that the bank focus on optimizing the use of its current assets while harmonizing the sources of its funds to maximize profitability. Additionally, it is crucial to manage the liquidity ratio effectively, balancing the need for financial security with the risks involved in liquidity management. This study suggests that the bank should implement strategies to enhance the profitability of its assets, ensuring that investment decisions align with long-term economic and financial goals. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of strategic financial management, including a comprehensive evaluation of both financial and economic performance, to ensure the bank's sustainability, profitability, and growth in the ever-evolving banking landscape, fostering long-term financial stability and success.

This study explores the impact of Business Development Services (BDS) on the profitability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with a specific focus on distro businesses in the Medan Area, Medan. BDS refers to a range of non-financial services aimed at enhancing the growth, capacity, and performance of businesses. These services may include training, mentoring, market access, business planning, and other forms of support. The core objective of this research is to determine whether the utilization of BDS has a measurable influence on the financial outcomes of SMEs, particularly in terms of profitability. The study employs a quantitative research approach using a survey method. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to selected owners of distro businesses who had previously accessed BDS programs. The analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to evaluate the relationship between BDS engagement and business profitability. The results reveal a statistically significant and positive influence of BDS on profitability. SMEs that actively engaged with BDS programs showed noticeable improvements in their financial performance, indicating the effectiveness of these services in supporting business growth. In particular, distro businesses that received BDS assistance experienced increased efficiency, improved market reach, and better management practices, which contributed to higher profit margins. Based on these findings, the study highlights the critical role that BDS can play in enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of SMEs. It recommends that more business owners in the distro sector take advantage of available BDS programs to support their development. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of governmental and institutional support in promoting and expanding access to BDS to ensure that a wider range of SMEs can benefit from these valuable services.

This article explains the influence of intellectual performance efficiency (MVAIC) and the moderating effect of innovation capital on company performance. The research population includes manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2024. This study used a purposive sampling method, and 18 companies meet the criteria, resulting in 108 observations. The MVAIC method was chosen because it encompasses RCE and INCE, and research on this topic in Indonesia is limited. Panel data regression was used for estimation, and Sequential Residual Centering (SRC) was applied to address multicollinearity. The study findings indicate that CEE, HCE, and SCE enhance profitability, while MVAIC, CEE, SCE, and RCE improve productivity. An important finding in this study is the moderating effect of INCE. INCE provides the appropriate environment and mechanisms to enable HC to effectively generate new ideas and improve ROA. Excessive investment in INCE can disrupt the optimization of the company's internal systems, processes, and infrastructure (SC), thereby affecting profitability. Excessive innovation priorities can divert resources from developing and maintaining strong external relationships (RC), thereby hindering productivity. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of potential trade-offs in IC investment, showing that excessive INCE can hinder financial performance derived from SC and RC. The implication, companies need to balance the allocation of IC resources to achieve holistic performance, rather than focusing solely on innovation.

This study aims to examine the influence of financial performance ratios—namely, the liquidity ratio (Current Ratio/CR), solvency ratio (Debt to Asset Ratio/DAR), and activity ratio (Total Asset Turnover/TATO)—on the return on assets (ROA) of companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020–2023. Employing a quantitative research approach with purposive sampling, the study focuses on automotive sector companies that met specific criteria over the observed time span. Data analysis was conducted using EViews version 13 software, and the methodology included descriptive statistics, panel data estimation, classical assumption tests, panel data regression analysis, t-tests (for partial effects), F-tests (for simultaneous effects), and coefficient of determination (R²) tests. The partial test results reveal that the liquidity ratio (CR) has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that higher liquidity does not necessarily enhance profitability. Similarly, the solvency ratio (DAR) demonstrates a negative and insignificant effect on ROA, suggesting that increased debt levels are not significantly associated with lower returns. In contrast, the activity ratio (TATO) has a positive and significant effect on ROA, implying that better asset utilization contributes positively to profitability. When tested simultaneously, the combination of CR, DAR, and TATO shows a positive and significant influence on ROA, indicating that these financial ratios collectively impact the profitability of automotive companies. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how internal financial indicators relate to profitability in the automotive sector and can inform management decisions and investor evaluations.
