The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of industrial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the observation period from 2021 to 2024. The companies’ financial statements were obtained directly from their official websites as well as from the website www.idx.co.id. The sample was selected using purposive sampling techniques based on specific, predetermined criteria, resulting in a total of 195 final observational data points that met the research requirements.
