Introduction

The construction industry is a vital sector in the Indonesian economy, and the companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) play a significant role in shaping the country's economic landscape. However, the financial health of these companies is a crucial factor that determines their ability to sustain growth and remain competitive in the industry. In this study, we conducted a financial health assessment of six active construction companies listed on the IDX using financial ratio analysis.
