Study on the Correlation between Economic and Financial Performance and Stock Exchange Performance in Romanian Companies from Oil and Retail Trade Industries

Abstract

In a time in which the economic and financial crisis is still a reality that cannot be ignored, on a capital market still marked by instability, it is important for a stock exchange quoted company to follow closely the evolution of its economic and financial performance and to which extent its level influences investors into acquiring the company's shares or eliminating them from their portfolio. With this purpose in mind, mathematical and statistical methods have been used in order to establish the type, direction and intensity of the correlations between certain economic and financial performance indicators and stock exchange performance indicators, at six important Romanian companies from oil and retail trade industries, listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange
