Theory suggests that liquid stocks have been shown to facilitate more efficient management compensation, reduce managerial opportunism decisions and promote trade by informed investors; hence improving the firm performance. Based on a sample of largest firms in Vietnam from 2012 to 2016 and panel regression models, we find that there is no relationship between Tobin's Q and turnover volume as a proxy of stock liquidity. However, a significant relationship between Tobin's Q and Amihud Illiquidity has been confirmed from the random effect regression model. For instance, a rise in stock liquidity in one stand deviation improves the firm value by 7.31%.
