This study used secondary data from 72 companies. It was selected using the sampling method to produce a sample of 20 Food and Beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2018-2021. The research data analysis method uses SPSS v.26 software. The results of this study are that profitability, liquidity, and dividend policy significantly affect firm value. Meanwhile, the indirect effect of liquidity significantly affects financial performance (intervening variable). From the calculation of the Sobel test, it is found that the dividend policy can mediate from liquidity to firm value.
