(2019) BUSN79 20191Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to investigate and shed light on the critical success factors for investors, management and academia for listed European football clubs. This paper is the first of its kind in that it analyses the Key Performance Indicators and their respective impact on the stock price for 23 listed European football clubs. The quantitative methodology approach utilised the FGLS regression model for 23 listed European football clubs spanning between the periods from December 2009 to March 2019 inspecting the relationship between Market-to-Book ratio (MTB) and six explanatory variables namely Revenue, Net Income Margin, Current Ratio, Debt-to-Assets, League Position and participation in the Champions League.

The quantitative methodology approach utilised the FGLS regression model for 23 listed European football clubs spanning between the periods from December 2009 to March 2019 inspecting the relationship between Market-to-Book ratio (MTB) and six explanatory variables namely Revenue, Net Income Margin, Current Ratio, Debt-to-Assets, League Position and participation in the Champions League. The main findings of this paper are that an increase in revenue, participation in the Champions League and a reduction in leverage all have a positive effect on the stock price of these clubs. Investors reward clubs who have a high current ratio but then penalise them after a certain threshold consistent with financial theory. A surprising conclusion is that profitability measured through Net Income Margin has a negative impact on a club’s share price, indicating that at the time of reporting financial results to the market, spurious events are having a material impact on the clubs share price. These results show that capitalising on revenue-generating capabilities and avoiding financial distress are key for listed European football clubs both for on- and off-the-field performances. (Less)
