| Summary: | With the rising trend of unexpected company failure in both global and local context, shareholders and stakeholders are becoming increasingly concerned about the financial performance of the company. The study therefore aimed to investigate the factors that affecting the financial performance of five listed companies of KL Construction in Malaysia. The study adopted an explanatory of five listed firms which have consistently been operating at KL Construction during the period of 2006 until 2020. A number of fundamental statistical techniques will be used in order to analysed data from the financial statements. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multiple-regression) were used to analyse data. Multiple-regression was used to assess the extent of the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. Study findings showed that asset growth, leverage and liquidity have a significant positive effect on financial performance while dividend growth does not have significant relationship with the KLCT share price. The study provides some precursory evidence that leverage, liquidity, asset growth and dividend growth play an important role in improving company's financial performance. According to the findings, the company's businesses should expand in a regulated manner with the goal of obtaining an optimal size in order to benefit from economies of scale, which can lead to improve the financial performance. |
