The impact of internal financial determinants on the financial performance of listed mineral firms on the Vietnam Stock Exchange

This study aims to investigate the impact of internal financial factors on the financial performance of mineral firms listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange. The research uses quantitative and qualitative methods to process the data collected. The results reveal that determinants of internal financial factors, including solvency, have a negative correlation with return on sales (ROS); firm growth rate (RG) has a positive correlation with ROS; capital structure influences the return on equity (ROE) positively, and capital structure negatively affects ROE; capital structure and DR have a negative impact on return on assets (ROA); current assets structure have a positive correlation with the ROA; CR has a negative impact on ROA; while firm RG and age have a positive correlation with ROA; the remaining determinants do not influence financial performance. Nhung, Daphné, and Huyen (2021) concluded that two variables consisting of total assets turnover ratio (ATR) and growth in sales significantly influence financial performance (FP) when it is measured by return on equity (ROE) or return on sales (ROS). However, this impact level of internal financial determinants is different. Finally, some suggestions are shown to enhance the financial performance of listed mineral firms in Vietnam
