This study uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling method. The research sample consists of 15 insurance sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the observation period of 2020–2024. The data used are secondary data obtained from the company's financial statements and then analyzed using statistical methods through the Stata application version 17.
