Abstract

This study examines the factors effect on corporate cash holdings of the energy enterprises listed on Vietnam s stock market. Our data set includes 28 energy companies on Vietnam stock markets (HNX and HOSE) in the period from 2010 to 2016, with a total of 196 firm-year observations being collected. We used GMM estimator to test our hypotheses. The results show a negative association between leverage, return on assets, operating cash flow and corporate cash holdings while a tangible asset has a positive relationship.
