This study examines the effect of capital adequacy, credit risk, and liquidity risk on bank financial performance through profitability, using 43 conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, 2015-2024 (430 bank-year observations). CAR, NPL, and LDR are the independent variables; PBV proxies market-based bank performance, with ROA tested as an intervening variable. Structural Model I (CAR/NPL/LDR-to-ROA) is estimated with Random Effects and Model II (to PBV) with Fixed Effects, per the Hausman test. CAR, NPL, and LDR do not affect ROA, individually or jointly (F=1.236; p=0.296). CAR positively, and NPL negatively, affect PBV; LDR and ROA do not. An explicit Sobel test confirms ROA does not mediate any of the three paths. Winsorized and cluster-robust checks confirm these results. Capital adequacy and credit quality appear to affect firm value directly rather than through profitability.
