Three independent variables are used, which are operating cash flow, firm value, and firm size, while the dependent variable is investment. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. The study result shows that Indonesia’s go- public companies’ investment decision on fixed assets has significantly been determined by operating cash flow and firm size.
