<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the impact of profitability (NPM) and liquidity (CR) on stock prices of coal firms listed on the IDX over 2021–2024. A quantitative design was employed with 18 purposively selected companies, yielding 72 observations. Multiple regression analysis was utilized along with classical assumption tests, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination using SPSS 26. The Current Ratio was square-root transformed. The results reveal that NPM individually does not significantly affect stock prices (sig. 0.260 > 0.05), thus H1 is rejected. Conversely, SQRT_CR positively and significantly influences stock prices (sig. 0.024 < 0.05), thus H2 is accepted. Simultaneously, both variables significantly affect stock prices (sig. 0.008 < 0.05), thus H3 is accepted. The Adjusted R² of 0.107 indicates that only 10.7% of stock price variation is explained by the independent variables, while the remainder is driven by external elements. Liquidity proves to be a more dominant factor than profitability in influencing stock prices amidst sector volatility.]]>
