Abstract: Abstract This study collected financial panel data of 42 food manufacturing firms from 2014–2022, and finally selected 15 to explore the changes in the impact of each risk on the cash holdings of firms before and after the COVID-19. The risks include market volatility (VaR), market share (MS), inventory turnover ratio (IT), and firm operations (Z-score). The results showed that the epidemic led to significant increase of the firms’ cash holdings; In addition to market volatility (VaR), other risks have significant impacts on cash holdings; After the epidemic, the effect of market share (MS) expansion on the decrease of cash holdings was weakened, and the improvement of firm operations (Z-score) changed from significant increase in cash holdings to insignificant.
