The share price can well reflect the management and operation ability of the company to some e0tent. /s is shown in table =, some airlines en-oy the good operation ability such as continental airlines and the stocks have value space. ?hile the airlines such as 7, airways group, the share price is unstable, which reflects poor management and investment strategy of the company.
.igure # validity of the regression /s is showing in figure #, the sig shows +.$$$ and the df shows A#, thus , it reflects that taking the gross profit rates as the dependent variable, which represents the returns of the airlines and the other factors as the independent variables, the regression method used by these variable is effective and valid here.
/s is shown in the figure #, the gross profit rate is growing with the liquidity. The liquidity refers to assets which can be reali'ed at a reasonable price smoothly, it is a
kind of investment by the time scales !the time needed for selling% and price scale !price discount compared with the fair market%, and the relationship between the 5iquidity of stock is greater than the real estate. ,o to find out the relations of liquidity and gross profit rate, it can decide whether the liquidity is the main factor that affects the profitability of airlines. /nd in the figure *, it can be concluded that the liquidity of these airlines are directly related the profitable of the companies.
.igure 1 (elation of share price and gross profit rate .rom the figure 1, it can see that share price goes smoothly with the gross profit rate. That is, it is hard to use the share price to predict the profitability of the airlines. ,tock price is to point to the price of the stock trading in the securities market. / lot of factors can act on the share price such as political factors, economic factors and legal factors. Thus, to use the share price to decide the profitability or even management ability of the airlines is not suitable. ,o from the figure 1, it can be concluded that it is hard to link the share price which may represents the share market valuation in some
e0tent with the profitability of these airline companies. Thus, share price would not be the main factor that acts on the capital management ability of the airlines.
/s is shown in figure ;, the gross profit rate en-oys direct relation with the (9E. The (9E is the percentage of net income and average shareholders equity and it is also the percentage of the company s after-ta0 profit divided by net assets. This indicator reflects the shareholders equity returns level, and can be used to measure the efficiency of companies by their own capital. @f the (9E is higher, the investment benefits would be higher. /nd from the figure ;, it can see the stakeholders can get great economic benefits as the gross profit rate grows. /nd this would attract more investors and investment. Thus, the market share valuation would go up. That means the (9E can be directly related to the market share valuation.
.igure = (elation of (9/ and gross profit rate .rom the figure =, it can see that the (9/ goes the opposite way of the gross profit rate. @n this case, it also can use the (9/ to predict the gross profit rate. The lower the (9/ is, the higher the gross profit rate would be. That means the profitability of the airlines would be great. .rom this aspect, better profitability reflects great working capital management ability in airlines. Thus, the factor of (9/ to some e0tent also can act on the capital management ability which is related to the share market valuation of airlines.
. !onclusion
.rom the above graph, it can see that the gross profit rate is closed related to the liquidity and the (9E. That means, the liquidity and (9E are higher, the company can get more profits or returns, which reflects the better capital management ability and operation ability. /t the same time, profit rata has not much to do with the share
price. That because the share price is directly related to various variables such as market factors, political factors and national economic factors, so it is hard to -ust use the share price to reflect the overall profitability of the companies. @n addition, it also can be seen that the (9/ greatly affect the gross profit rate, if the (9/ is bad, that means the profit rate of the company could not perform very well. Thus, if the airline company wants to achieve better working capital management, it should well control the (9E and the liquidity. That is, the (9E and liquidity reflect better working capital management. /nd in the figures above, it can also conclude that better (9E and liquidity reflect great share market valuation. Thus it is can be concluded that the claim that the market share valuation of airlines can be increased through working capital management.
