Abstract

This article covers the topic of the relationship between the growth of companies and their financial condition when different business profiles are surveyed, such as high-tech, growth potential companies included in the NASDAQ Composite Index and traditional, matured companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), commonly known as blue-chip stocks. The hypothesis that the relationship between the Altman Z-score and the growth of enterprises as measured by assets, equity, sales, and earnings per share is positive was tested with Granger and VAR models. The main difference was found to be related to the size of the companies size and dynamics of growth. It was also shown that between NASDAQ enterprises there was no relationship between their growth and Altman Z-score, whereas when the DJIA blue chips were taken into account, a positive relationship was identified. It can be concluded that high-tech enterprises grow in a less predictable way not related to their economic condition, but mature enterprises focused on the growth and their condition. The value added of the article is finding that high-tech companies with growth potential and blue chips are managed in a different way due to their strategies of development.
