Description
Summary:The company's value is reflected in its stock price and as a signal in response to the company's performance. Since the stock price is a reflection of the investor's expectations of the company's performance, management must continue to make systematic efforts so that the company's performance grows continuously. The aim of this research is to identify the factors that affect companies' value in the agriculture sector listed on Bursa Malaysia. This research used leverage, firm efficiency, profitability and firm size as the independent variables. This study used secondary data from 5 agriculture product companies that are listed on Bursa Malaysia for the period of year 2012 to 2021. The data for the analysis were collected from the sample companies' related databases and annual reports. Panel data analysis such as descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed in order to examine the factors that affect the agriculture companies' value. This study found that profitability has a significant positive relationship with company value.
