Lu, W.J. and Liu, X., 2020. Investment value and key influencing factors of listed marine fishery companies in coastal China. In: Qiu, Y.; Zhu, H., and Fang, X.

In order to find out the key factors that influence the investment value of listed marine fishery companies and provide investors with investment suggestions, factor analysis and cluster analysis are adopted to conduct empirical analysis to the investment value of 23 listed marine fishery companies. 12 financial indexes from 2016 to 2018 are selected to construct an investment value evaluation system. The comprehensive scoring and ranking of 23 listed companies are calculated, and they are divided into four categories by cluster analysis. The research results show that the operating capability and equity expansion capability are the key factors that influence the investment value of listed marine fishery companies. Meanwhile, the profitability, growth capability and solvency, to some extent, have a role in evaluation of their investment value.
