Abstract
Purpose: Stock market performance is paramount to every country, as it signifies economic growth, business performance, wealth maximization, savings deployment, and consumer confidence. This study investigates differences in the market performance of listed firms in Romania. This study also examines whether the COVID-19 crisis affected market performance.
Methodology: Data were collected from 69 firms listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) from 2018 to 2022, belonging to 11 sectors. This study used several methods to achieve its objectives. Difference tests were considered to analyze the performance of Romanian companies before and during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as across sectors. Regression analysis was also conducted to estimate the effect of the COVID-19 crisis and classification type on Romanian companies' performance. Additional analyses were performed to verify the findings of the present study.
Findings: The study’s findings indicate a discernible difference in market performance between the pre-crisis and crisis periods. COVID-19 negatively impacts market performance. In addition, there is a discernible difference in market performance between sectors. The communication services sector has specifically demonstrated accelerated growth.
Originality: This research analyzes the differences in the market performance of companies during pre-Covid-19 and the COVID-19 periods and across different sectors. It also provides evidence of the potential impact of COVID-19 on firms’ market performance. This research contributes to a better understanding of how sectors perform during a crisis.
