EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This study focused on determining the relationship between corporate governance score and each of the following: (i) market capitalization of the firm, (ii) market valuation as measured by Tobin’s Q ratio, and (iii) profitability as measured by return on equity. The selection of 73 publicly listed companies in the Philippines was based on having a corporate governance score of 60 and above. Data for 2014–2016 were taken from the audited financial statements of the companies, the database of the Philippine Stock Exchange, and the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard.
The results of the study showed that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between (i) corporate governance and market capitalization, (ii) corporate governance and market valuation as measured by Tobin’s Q ratio, and (iii) corporate governance and profitability as measured by return on equity.
It can be stated that an increase in the corporate governance score of a publicly listed company in the Philippines would mean an increase in its (i) market capitalization, (ii) market valuation as measured by Tobin’s Q ratio, and (iii) profitability as measured by return on equity. The results indicate that publicly listed companies which have given importance to the practice of good corporate governance would benefit from this in terms of good financial performance.
