Abstract

The study aims to investigate the relationship between firm characteristics (firm size, profitability, liquidity, and industry type) and firm value in Saudi Arabia for the period 2019–2021. A regression analysis was done to estimate the relationship between these factors and firm value. The sample used in the study is 10 companies from 8 various industries over the period of 2019–2021, chosen randomly. The results reveal that firm size and liquidity have a negative relationship with firm value, but profitability and industry type have a positive relationship with firm size. The results will benefit investors, policymakers, and researchers.
