The research method used is a quantitative approach, the type of research is reciprocal associative, and the nature of the research is explanatory research. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling so that the number of samples obtained is 20 companies. The analytical method used is Smart PLS (partial least square). The results of this study indicate that DER has a positive and significant effect on ROA but has no effect on company value. CR has a positive and significant effect on ROA but has no effect on company value. ROA has a positive effect on company value. ROA as an intervening variable can mediate the effect of DER on company value but cannot mediate the effect of CR on company value.
