The object of this research uses a population of all consumers non-cyclicals and consumer cyclicals sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2020 to 2022. Sample selection was carried out using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression.

A high profitability serves as a signal that the company has good growth prospects in the future so that investors will be more interested in investing and contributing to an increase in the firm value. However, dividend policy, investment decision, firm size, liquidity, institutional ownership, and tax avoidance show no significant influence on firm value
