<![CDATA[This study examines whether sales growth and firm size are associated with profitability in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) within the Consumer Non-Cyclicals sector during 2021–2025. Profitability is represented by Return on Assets (ROA), with sales growth and firm size examined as explanatory variables. The study adopts a quantitative design and utilizes secondary information drawn from the annual financial reports of the selected companies. Through purposive sampling, 23 companies were selected, generating 115 observations. Panel data regression was applied to evaluate the proposed relationships, supported by partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing as well as the coefficient of determination. The empirical findings indicate that neither sales growth nor firm size has a statistically significant relationship with profitability. The joint examination likewise provides insufficient evidence of a significant effect of both variables on profitability. These findings imply that differences in profitability among the sampled companies are not adequately captured by sales growth and firm size alone, indicating the possible influence of other factors outside the variables included in the research model.]]>
