Abstract
This study objective is to determine the effect of profitability, firm size and leverage on liquidity of listed companies in the LQ45 index in Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). Eighteen (18) firms from the LQ45 over a period of 6 years from 2017 to 2022 were taken as samples by purposive sampling. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression methods using SPSS. The study found that there is a negative and significant relationship between firm size and leverage on liquidity. The relationship between profitability and liquidity was found to be positive. This study displays the indirect relations between the variables to the pecking order theory and signaling theory. Furthermore, this study pushes the importance of managing profitability and leverage so that an optimal liquidity in the firm can be achieved.
