Summary/Abstract: The article investigates how investments made during the pre-crisis period from 2005 to 2007 influenced the financial performance of listed firms in Poland during the crisis. Using long-term event study methodology, we established that the investments had a negative impact on operational performance as the cost effects of investment were stronger than the effects of modernising the production process. However, there were industry-specific exceptions to this rule.
