This study seeks to investigate the determinants of performance by analyzing the performances of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Malaysian firms, measured by return on asset (ROA). This report offers the results of a study of Ten Malaysian Companies conducted between 2011 and 2020. There were a total of 100 observations used in this study. A performance indicator is created by combining the following independent variables: Long-term debt (LTD), asset tangible (TANG), Sales, earning per share (EPS) and fixed asset (FA). The return on asset (ROA) serves as the dependent variable in this analysis. This study has used panel data and employed descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, multicollinearity test, normality test and regression analysis. Research findings reveal that from the regression analysis, long-term debt (LTD) has a positive insignificant relationship and asset tangible (TANG) has a negative significant relationship with return on asset (ROA). Meanwhile, the other 3 independent variables which are, sales, earnings per share (EPS) and fixed asset (FA) shows positive and significance relationship with dependent variable, return on asset (ROA).
