<![CDATA[This study investigates the influence of free cash flow, profitability, and firm size on debt policy among Food & Beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022–2024 period. Using purposive sampling, 42 firms were selected as the research sample and analyzed through multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS 27.

Meanwhile, larger firms may leverage their asset base expansion as strong collateral to secure third-party loans in support of operational growth.]]>
