Abstract

This study aims to examine how capital structure, firm size, and firm growth affect profitability and firm value. The
research sample consisted of seven issuers of state-owned enterprises (BUMN) included in the infrastructure cluster,
with an observation period from 2015 to 2019. Quantitative data were then processed using multiple linear regression
techniques with Eviews 9 software. The study results revealed that capital structure had a negative and insignificant
effect on profitability. Meanwhile, firm size and firm growth affected profitability positively but not significantly.
Furthermore, profitability positively but not significantly affected firm value.

Keywords: Capital Structure; Firm Size; Firm Growth; Profitability; Firm Value.
