Abstract

This research investigates the ramifications of fraudulent signals within financial statements on stock prices. The analysis draws upon data extracted from the audited financial statements of 760 publicly listed companies within the Vietnamese stock market over the period spanning 2016 to 2021. Employing a suitable quantitative methodology tailored for panel data, the study discerns a robust correlation between the GP/TA, NP/TA, and SALES/TA ratios. This underscores the pronounced impact of profitability ratios on the stock valuations of these enterprises. Consequently, the research proffers multiple recommendations for pertinent stakeholders.
