Based on the results of the regression test, the coefficient of the liquidity variable is 3,184 indicating that the liquidity variable has a positive effect. The significance probability 0.03<0.05. shows that the liquidity variable has a significant effect on firm value. Profitability has a negative and significant effect on firm value. This means that profitability has a strong influence in relation to firm value, but an increase in profitability will make the level of firm value decrease. Liquidity has a positive and significant effect on firm value. This means that liquidity has a strong influence in relation to firm value.
