Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze the behavior of costs, profitability and market value of publicly traded Brazilian companies after joining the Novo Mercado corporate governance segment. The sample consisted of 128 public companies and the data were extracted from the Economática database and the Reference Forms from the years 2010 to 2016. Three regression models were generated for the independent variables market value, profitability and governance costs. The results show that governance costs affect the companies' asset structure more negatively than the return generated to the shareholder and at the same time promote a balance with the market value. It can also be noted that the company's risk was related to the main elements of the study, and it was found that high risks negatively affect the companies' market value, which if the profitability is unsatisfactory or if the company has many costs causes that the risks increase. The study contributes to both the academic and the corporate environment by bringing evidence about the relationship of implicit costs to governance practices and a possible reflection on the market value and profitability of companies.

Keywords: Corporate Governance. Governance costs. Market Value and Profitability.
