The statistical population of this study consists of all manufacturing companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 2003-2014. 75 companies selected by random sampling method. The results of panel data test of FFFFM indicate the positive significant effects of book to market value ratio, size, growth opportunity, and profitability but a negative significant effect of the investment variable.
