Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the performance of the companies that performed mergers and acquisitions by evaluating performance with the use of Graham Filters. The research, characterized as descriptive, documentary and quantitative, was based on the accounting, financial and market data of 42 Brazilian companies listed on the BM&FBovespa, which conducted mergers and acquisitions with exchange of control between 2006 and 2010. Data on mergers and acquisitions were collected from the CVM (Securities and Exchange Commission) website, and performance information was collected from the Economática® database. The performance of the 42 companies was calculated for the seven Graham Filters, and transformed into a ranking by the application of TOPSIS. From the results, it can be verified that in the five years of analysis the companies had positive variations of performance in the ranking. As a contribution to the company performance calculation, Graham Filters allowed us to identify the increase in net income, reduction of indebtedness and increase in assets. With these results, it can be seen that companies that have gone through mergers and acquisitions have good financial health and low risk. As a conclusion, these results of Graham Filters' performance in mergers and acquisitions, carried out in the Brazilian environment, show reasonable shareholder safety and a good level of Corporate Governance.
