<![CDATA[The Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) showcases firms with strong competitive advantage and investment appeal grounded in transparency and Sharia compliance. This study deepens understanding of capital structure dynamics by analyzing how profitability and growth opportunities shape firm value, both directly and through financial leverage.
