Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of dividend policy, liquidity, and firm size on firm value in the metal and mineral industry sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2019 to 2023. The research applies a descriptive quantitative method and utilizes secondary data. The sampling technique employed is purposive sampling, resulting in a total sample of 14 companies from the metal and mineral industry over a five-year period, producing 70 data points. After addressing outliers, 34 data entries were excluded from the analysis. The study focuses on three independent variables: dividend policy, liquidity, and firm size, while the dependent variable is firm value. To analyze the data, multiple linear regression analysis was used, with the assistance of SPSS version 22 as the statistical software. The results of the
regression analysis indicate that both dividend policy and firm size do not have a significant effect on firm value. However, liquidity is found to have a significant influence on firm value. Furthermore, based on the F-test results, it can be concluded that collectively, the variables dividend policy, liquidity, and firm size have a significant impact on the firm value of companies in the metal and mineral sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period.
