Abstract

The size of corporate financial leverage is one of the important factors affecting corporate financial performance. The proportion of debt capital in corporate assets will bring additional benefits and risks to enterprises through the financial leverage effect, which will affect the value of the company, and then affect the performance of the company. However, scholars have not had a unified understanding of the relationship between financial leverage and enterprise performance for a long time. Based on the research of China’s A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2019 from CSMAR database, this paper empirically tests the relationship between the capital structure of listed companies and their profitability by using a linear multiple regression model. Research shows that financial leverage has a significant negative impact on corporate performance. Based on the empirical results, this paper gives some suggestions on how to control financial leverage.
