Research Finding: Out of 52 companies, 27 experienced financial distress. The Altman model demonstrated better prediction accuracy.
Theoretical Contribution: This paper strengthens the validity of the Altman and Springate models in predicting financial distress in the industrial sector.
Practical Implication: Provides insights for investors and management to anticipate bankruptcy risks and improve financial stability.
Research Limitation: Limited to the industrial sector in Indonesia for the 2015-2021 period and relies solely on financial statement data without considering external factors.
