Abstract
Recently, debate on corporate cash holdings has received greater attention in the corporate
finance literature. Corporate finance theories provide competing hypotheses on the
relationship between cash holdings and corporate performance. This study empirically
examines the relationship between cash holdings and corporate performance using a sample of
firms listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) over the period 2011-2015. Controlling for
unobserved heterogeneity and other firm characteristics, this study finds that cash holdings is
positively related to firm performance.
