The financial reports of manufacturing businesses in the food and beverage subsector provided the research data. The data is processed using SPSS 26, and the data analysis techniques employed are classic assumption test, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, coefficient of determination test (R squared), and descriptive statistics. The study's findings indicate that while return on assets and total asset turnover have a positive and not significant impact on stock returns, the current ratio and debt-equity ratio have a negative and not significant effect. Stock returns are significantly impacted by operating cash flow in a positive way and by firm size in a negative way.
