The study adopted time series research design. Secondary data was collected from a 12-Year Annual Report of PZ Cussons Nigeria Pie (2005- 2016). The study used multiple regressions in the analysis of data. From the findings, ii is observed that cash receivable was significant at 1% and has positive effect on profitability; inventories were significant at 1% and have positive effect on profitability. This implies that increase in inventories leads to increase in the profitability of the enterprise; inventories were significant at 1% and have positive effect on profitability; marketable securities was also significant at 5% and has positive effect on profitability; current liabilities was significant at 5%, but negatively affects the profitability of the enterprise; the correlation coefficient (r) value of - 0.38 indicated a negative relationship between current liabilities and profitability. The coefficient of determination (r') value of -0.318 explained the rate of percentage change in profitability attributed to increase in current liability. This value of 0.38, showed that current liability is a good predictor of profitability. The study recommended the firm should review and up-date the cash receivables to reflect the present circumstances so as to enhance rapid profitable growth.
