This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the hotel, restaurant, and tourism sub-sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Financial performance is measured by using the ratio of liquidity (CR), solvency, activity (DER), activity ratio (TATO), and profitability (ROA).

The population of this study is 38 companies and the number of research samples is 26 companies, which were obtained through purposive sampling in 2018-2021. The analytical method used is descriptive statistical test, data normality test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. The results of this study show that CR and DER both increased during the pandemic compared to before, while TATO and ROA decreased. The decline in TATO is attributed to inefficient asset allocation, and the lower ROA is due to ongoing operating costs during the pandemic.
