Abstract:

The aim of this study is two-fold. Firstly, it attempts to assess the financial performance of Transport & Warehouses Firms Listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX). Secondly, it analyses and measure Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of the dependent variable, including, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) & return on sales (ROS). A quantitative research was conducted by collecting ROA, ROE & ROS in 22 Transport & Warehouses Firms Listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange. We then categorized the ROA, ROE and ROS indicators into 5 levels ranging from 1 to 5. The first main findings from the study reveal that there are over 30% of Transport & Warehouses Firms with low financial performance and limited financial capacity. The second main research findings resulted from Cronbach’s Alpha: Cronbach’s Alpha of ROA, ROE and ROS are pretty tall, enough for analysis. Research findings are bases for recommendations to improve financial performance of Transport & Warehouses Firms Listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange.
