Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of leverage, accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover on profitability in food and beverage industry companies listed on the IDX for 2019-2021. This research is quantitative in nature. The sample used consisted of 18 companies from a population of 26 food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2019-2021. This study makes use of Indonesia Stock Exchange as a secondary data. The method of data analysis employed is panel data regression. The results showed that Profitability is a predictable growth or reduction in annual earnings. Significant profit capability indicates the company's potential to generate high profits, resulting in a rise in dividend payout. Hence, the potential to generate profits will influence the decision of investors to raise their capital investment in the business.
