The food and beverage industry is a strategic sector that makes a significant contribution to the national economy. This growth is inseparable from the increasing population, increasingly widespread urbanization, and changes in people's lifestyles, which tend to prefer ready-to-eat food and practical drinks. Furthermore, the development of digital technology, particularly e-commerce and food delivery services, has opened up significant opportunities for companies to reach a wider market without geographical limitations. This study aims to determine the effect of the Current Ratio, Price to Book Value, and Debt to Equity Ratio on Return on Assets (in Food and Beverage Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2021-2023). The method used is quantitative descriptive analysis. The data used is secondary data in the form of annual financial reports obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
