The model explains 89% of the variance in ROA. <strong>Novelty:</strong> The study offers a contextualized analytical model adapted to Iraq’s industrial sector, integrating both agency and resource-based theories. <strong>Implications:</strong> The results highlight strategic opportunities for firms to enhance profitability by optimizing liquidity structures and scaling operations. This research fills a gap in regional financial literature and provides a replicable methodology for similar economies.<br><strong>Highlight :</strong>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li data-start="100"
