Abstract
The financial performance of energy companies has become a significant object of investigation in the most recent international literature following the processes of privatization, liberalization and deregulation that have characterized these enterprises in the last twenty years. The objective of this work is to carry out an analysis of the main international literature on the subject. To this end, the main aspects considered as determining the aforementioned performances will be highlighted, constructing a related synthesis framework with possible further and future research guidelines.
