Abstract: This study aims to explore the influence of brand value on firm performance and shareholder wealth creation. This study is based on the top 100 brands ranked by Interbrand. This research article analyses the impact of brand value on firm performance both in terms of stock market performance and operating performance. This study uses panel regression data to understand valuation effects of brands. The results suggest that firms with superior operating performance have higher brand valuation effects. Higher brand valuation is a significant determinant of profitability. Brand quality leads to improved cash flow on account of the likelihood of repurchase. This study establishes the negative relationship between agency conflicts and brand value. The results support the belief that a marketer’s efforts on brand investments are a significant source of value-creating activity.
