Abstract

This study aims to find out the relationship between profitability and financial distress in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period of 2020–2023. Of the 92 companies that met the criteria, 71 companies were selected as samples using purposive sampling, resulting in 284 data observations. This study also includes four control variables: activity, firm size, liquidity, and leverage. Data were obtained from S&P Capital IQ and analysed using multiple linear regression analysis with IBM SPSS version 25. The results of the study show that profitability has a positive and significant relationship with financial distress. These findings have important implications for investors in evaluating property and real estate companies by assessing the financial stability of companies to manage risks more effectively and avoid losses in fluctuating markets. This study provides new insights into the importance of profitability as a key indicator in identifying financial distress risks in the property and real estate sector. The findings can also serve as a reference for company management to improve financial performance, minimize potential financial distress, and support more informed investment decision-making by investors./ Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara profitabilitas dan financial distress pada perusahaan properti dan real estate yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) selama periode 2020–2023.
