Abstract

 

The aim of the current study is to present a relationship between share yield and criterion of companies’ performance using profit and cash flows and items of listed companies on Tehran Stock Exchange during 2004 to 2009.

Key words: Profit, operational cash flow, free cash flow, share yield, performance criterion, capital market.
