Abstract
Given economical conditions being dominated in Iran and recent changes in domestic industries, the attention given by different groups, specifically by investors and financial analysts, to the status of enterprises and especially their efficiency has been multiplied. The managers, on the other hand, are also looking to improve their position in the competitive scene. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between free cash flow, return on equity, and factors affecting it. A sample of 84 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange was selected through classified random sampling which were investigated for 8 years. Chow and Hausman test were used to specify the statistical methods; finally, results of the regression models indicated a strong relationship between free cash flow and return on equity. Although companies' stable or unstable profitability does not affect this relationship, it can adversely influence efficiency.
