The study intends to analyze profitability (return on assets) in mediating the capital structure (debt to equity ratio) and liquidity (current ratio) to stock returns (capital gains / lost). Research data was obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange, namely companies included in the LQ-45 group in 2019. Saturated sampling was used in the study so that 45 data were obtained. WarpPLS Regression is used in the analysis to facilitate mediation testing. The results of the study showed that profitability has a positive effect on stock returns. Capital structure negatively affects profitability but liquidity does not affect profitability. Profitability mediates capital structure against stock returns in a negative direction but does not mediate liquidity to stock returns.
