Study reveals link between company performance and shareholder wealth in Tehran Stock Exchange.
The study compared market value and net profit after tax using Economic Value Added (EVA) for companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange from 2007 to 2014. The goal was to see if EVA alone can predict a company's market value. The researchers found a positive correlation between market value and EVA in all companies, but EVA alone is not enough to predict market value. Only the automotive and pharmaceutical industries showed a significant relationship between the variables, while other industries did not.
