Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of profitability, leverage, firm size, and sales growth on dividend policy in non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2023 period. This study used secondary data with a purposive sampling technique, and a sample size of 20 companies was selected. The analytical methods used included descriptive analysis, multicollinearity testing, and hypothesis testing, processed using the Smart PLS version 4.0 application. The study concluded that profitability and sales growth have a positive and significant effect on dividend policy.
