Abstract: This research attempts to analyze the impact of managerial entrenchment on firm performance in the context of KSE-100 index companies in Pakistan. The given study engages the CEO share as the measure of managerial entrenchment and investigate its impact on financial performance of companies. In pertinent to this, regression analysis has been utilized by employing the top performing corporations listed on KSE-100 index. For measurement of firm performance, this study employs the two variables used to quantify firm performance as “return on assets (ROA)” and “Tobin's Q”. This study comprises 318 observations, from 53 non-financial companies of Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), over 6 years period (2015-2020) from annual reports. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant negative relationship between the managerial entrenchment measured through CEO share and financial performance measured through ROA and Tobin’s Q. The study has some limitations. The future researchers can add other parameters of managerial entrenchment such as board independence, board compensation, tenure and management duality to get more insights on this association. The research findings are giving implications for managers, investors and shareholders. Managers may adopt techniques that allow them to strengthen their position thus gaining investors’ confidence. This research extends the literature by comprehensively employing the impact of managerial entrenchment on financial performance of companies in KSE-100 index companies that was predominately neglected by the previous researchers in context of Pakistan.
