With the development of science and technology, Chinese manufacturing industry is facing transformation and upgrading, and innovation is an important driving force to promote industrial transformation and upgrading. Therefore, based on the background of Chinese manufacturing transformation and upgrading, this paper uses fixed effect model to study the relationship between R & D investment and corporate performance, and the moderating effect of corporate leverage. The study finds that the greater the R & D investment of enterprises is, the better the performance of enterprises is. Meanwhile, the leverage of enterprises has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between R & D investment and enterprise performance. Therefore, enterprises should pay attention to their own R & D, reduce their debt levels, and promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. At the same time, the government should introduce corresponding preferential policies to encourage enterprises to carry out R & D and deleverage, in order to promote the healthy development of industrial economy.
