Abstract

(VF)L’objectif de notre recherche est d’étudier le lien entre la structure de l’actionnariat et la performance financière des sociétés cotées françaises. Sur le plan théorique, l’analyse de ce lien permet de confronter les théories de l’alignement et de l’enracinement des dirigeants. L’étude est conduite sur un échantillon de sociétés cotées de l’indice SBF 250 sur la période 2004-2008. Les résultats montrent une relation curvilinéaire (en forme de U inversé) entre la part détenue par le principal actionnaire et la performance. Cette relation est vraie lorsque l’actionnaire principal est familial. Concernant les deuxième et troisième actionnaires, la relation avec la performance est également curvilinéaire, mais convexe (en forme de U). Les résultats relatifs au lien entre nature de l’actionnariat et performance montrent que les actionnaires financiers influencent positivement la performance, dès lors qu’ils détiennent une part suffisante du capital.(VA)The aim of our research is to study the link between ownership structure and financial performance among French listed companies. On a theoretical point of view, the study enables the confrontation between the alignment theory and the entrenchment theory. The study is performed on a sample of SBF 250 listed companies over the 2004-2008 period. We first observe a U-inverted shape relation between the fraction of shares owned by the main shareholder and performance. This relation holds when family is the main shareholder. Moreover, the relation between performance and the fraction of shares owned by the second or the third shareholders is also curvilinear, but convex (U shape relation). We also observe that financial shareholders are positively associated with performance, insofar as they hold a sufficient part of capital.
