Abstrakt: This study investigates the impact of liquidity, profitability, and leverage ratios on financial distress in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. It posits that higher liquidity in a company correlates with reduced financial distress. The research encompasses eight mining companies observed from 2016 to 2020. Purposive sampling was employed to select a sample of eight companies meeting specific criteria. The study utilizes multiple linear regression analysis as its analytical approach. The findings, significant at the 5% level, reveal that liquidity, profitability, and leverage ratios collectively exert a substantial influence on financial distress, accounting for 85.3% of the variance in the dependent variable. Specifically, the study concludes that: 1) Liquidity has a significant negative effect on financial distress, 2) Profitability also demonstrates a significant negative impact on financial distress, and 3) Leverage exhibits a significant positive effect on financial distress.
