This is particularly important when dealing with financial distress, a condition in which a company faces significant financial strain, potentially leading to liquidation if not managed effectively. This study examines the influence of operating capacity, sales growth, and profitability on financial distress among retail companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. A quantitative approach is employed in this study, utilizing secondary data derived from annual financial statements. The sample is selected through purposive sampling, and data analysis is conducted using IBM SPSS version 30 with multiple linear regression techniques. The findings reveal that operating capacity has a significant negative effect on financial distress. In contrast, sales growth does not exhibit a significant relationship with financial distress. Profitability, as measured by return on assets (ROA), demonstrates a significant positive effect on financial distress. These results are expected to provide valuable insights for stakeholders in detecting early warning signs of financial distress and in developing effective financial management strategies.]]>
