This study uses secondary data in the form of annual financial reports, with purposive sampling technique based on certain criteria, resulting in 35 companies as samples. The analysis method used is the Sobel test to test the mediating role of profitability in the relationship between capital structure, asset growth, and firm value. The results showed that capital structure and asset growth each have a positive and significant effect on firm value. Profitability is also proven to mediate the effect of capital structure and asset growth on firm value significantly.
