Abstract
ALVAREZ TORRES, Ricardo. Valuation of Companies in Mexico from 2006 to 2017 through capitalization value and economic value adde. Entreciencias: diálogos soc. conoc. [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.24, e2480937. Epub Apr 04, 2022. ISSN 2007-8064. https://doi.org/10.22201/enesl.20078064e.2022.23.80937.
Purpose:
To explain the relationship between the value of Mexican Stock Exchange companies (BMV) measured through the capitalization value and economic value added (EVA) methods, at a sector level, from 2006 to 2017.
Methodological design:
The EVA and capitalization value methods were applied in the period from 2006 to 2017, taking the companies listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange as the sample; a Pearson relationship correlation was then measured between both indicators.
Results:
No relationship was found between the company’s value measured through capitalization value and EVA during the studied time span. Capitalization value tends to rise while EVA shows a light downward trend.
Research limitations::
The number of companies in each sector is small with some sectors comprised by one company only.
Findings:
Since capitalization value shows a rising tendency while EVA’s decreases, it is affirmed that sample companies did not create value but rather they did increase their capitalization value, which suggest a boost to commercial operations of companies’ shares with no link to value creation.
