<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage, profitability, and liquidity on investment decisions in manufacturing companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021–2023. The study adopts a quantitative approach using panel data regression and classical assumption tests. The results show that simultaneously, the three variables have a significant effect on investment decisions, with an adjusted R-squared value of 67.7%. Partially, leverage and liquidity have a significant negative effect, while profitability has a significant positive effect. These findings indicate that companies with high debt levels and excessive liquidity tend to be more cautious in making investment decisions. Conversely, companies with high profitability are more likely to expand their investments to support business growth. The results provide important implications for financial managers in managing internal financial structures to support optimal investment policies. Companies are advised to balance debt usage, profit generation, and cash management to avoid constraints in decision-making caused by excessive financial risk or overly conservative policies. This study also contributes to academic literature, especially in the context of the food and beverage subsector, which is considered stable and strategic in the Indonesian economy.]]>
