Abstract

One of the most difficult challenges that finance managers confront is determining the impact of capital structure on a company’s profitability. Prior research has investigated the impact of capital structure on business profitability, however, most of them are from other areas of the world, with only a few studies conducted in China. The level of enterprise profitability is one of the significant factors to measure the health of enterprise development. A reasonable capital structure of the enterprise itself not only assists to improve the corporate governance mechanism and the optimal allocation of various economic resources, but also allows the enterprise to improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise itself. Therefore, the issue of the relationship between enterprise capital structure and profitability is an important part of corporate governance research. Consequently, this study has the objective to assess the influence of shareholding structure on the profitability of listed enterprises between 2013 and 2019. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple panel data regression models were used to examine the data. The relationship between capital structure and profitability was investigated using two distinct regression models. Using the data of listed Chinese companies from 2013 to 2019, this paper documents that shareholding concentration is positively associated with corporate performance.
