| Abstract: | Using Compustat data for 478 companies 1982-1998, the authors investigate which factors discriminate between financially succesful and less successful companies. They use three different methods, i.e., the Sharpe ratio, Jensen's alpha, and EVA, and find that especially large profitable firms with efficient working capital management and a certain degree of uniqueness regarding their business are the most successful companies. |
