The sample four (4) of the firms were obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The study employed the correlation analysis and the ordinary least square technique for data estimation. The research work found that the co-efficient of the sales revenue on the return on assets is positively and significantly signed (0.17548, P-value of 0.02 < 0.05) with the correlation result of 0.8965. The study therefore concluded that sales revenue growth has a positive effect on the corporate performance of listed foods and beverages manufacturing firms in Nigeria with a strong positive correlation between the turnover and the firms’ performance. Therefore, the research work recommended that the directors of the foods and beverages firms should strategize on how to improve on their advert coverage to increase their markets share that will improve the level of their firms’ turnover in Nigeria.
