Abstract: The literature on value relevance has consolidated that traditional accounting information influence investor decision-making, as the purchase or sale of shares. The implementation of IFRS has standardized intangible assets, which were previously not covered. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the relevance of intangible assets in high and low-tech companies. We conducted a descriptive, documentary and quantitative research. We used descriptive statistics and panel data analysis to analyze 2,228 US companies; and 118 companies in Brazil. The results showed that the equity and income adjusted for intangible accounts as well as intangible assets and goodwill are relevant value for economic agents, particularly for investors, impacting the stock price in the Brazilian and American markets. It is concluded that the relevance of intangible assets in technology companies influences the increase of the share price.
