Abstract

This paper analyzes whether certain indicators have an influence on the profitability of companies in the FMCG retail market in Romania. Furthermore the study reveals several concrete effects that some of the indicators can have on profitability. For this purpose a series of Pearson correlations were performed and a multiple linear regression model was also used. We have found that there is a whole range of interactions between particular indicators and the profitability of the firms studied, while capital and fixed assets do not play a significant role in determining profitability in the fast moving consumer goods sector.
