Abstract

This paper seeks to establish whether there was a correlation between the Economic Value Added (EVA) and Market Value Added (MVA) indicators by means of an analysis of the performance of Brazilian companies that were listed on the New York Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2007. The main characteristics of the two key indicators and the companies’ behavior in a fluctuating international stock exchange market are demonstrated. The performance indicators indicate the existence of wealth creation or destruction, showing the company’s market value over a given period. These indicators are related to market dynamic, a very wide-ranging subject that has great importance for performance analysis. The results acquired show that there is a positive correlation related to the EVA and the MVA and that oscillation in the Brazilian economy have influenced the financial performance of the said companies.
