  • 本篇探討持續性高現金持有之公司政策是否伴隨著較卓越的績效表現。實證發現相較於對比公司,使用資產報酬率(ROA)與權益報酬率(ROE)為衡量標準時,持續性高現金水位的公司顯著有較高的營運績效表現。利用股價報酬衡量時,也發現持續性高現金水位的公司有較好的股價表現。此外高現金水位與投資機會有很高的連動性。且持續性高現金水位之公司並無嚴重的權益代理問題和不佳的公司治理之情況發生。因此本文不認為持續高現金水位會有阻礙公司績效之情形發生。

    This study investigates whether a policy of persistently holding substantial cash reserves is associated with better performance. The result shows that persistently cash-rich firms have significantly better operating performance than their comparative firms by using return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) as measurements, and also have better stock performance measured by stock returns. Moreover, they also show that high cash holdings are associated with greater investment opportunities. However, there is little evidence that persistently cash-rich firms have weaker governance. On the whole, my findings do not support the argument that a policy of large, persistent cash reserves hinders corporate performance.
