This study evaluated effect of financial strategy on corporate performance growth of quoted cement manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design. The population of the study comprised of all the quoted cement manufacturing companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as at 31 December 2017. Findings revealed that financial strategy measures had significant effects on corporate performance growth, growth measures (F(3, 57) = 0.33, adj. R² = -0.0507, p > 0.1). The study concluded that financial strategy does not jointly affect the corporate performance growth of quoted cement manufacturing companies in Nigeria, but affected on individual basis. The study recommended that the management should do proper analysis of the use of combined financial strategies to guide appropriate selection of financial strategies that will engender achievement of corporate performance growth for competitive advantage.
