A Study of the Relationship Between Capital Structure and Corporate Performance

This study examines the impact of capital structure on the corporate performance. The findings on different industries like capital-intensive, labor-intensive, and technology and healthcare indicate that low leverage companies operate with greater capital flexibility and with reduced financial risk, but their ability to grow and expand will be constrained by a lack of sufficient funding. Highly leveraged businesses use money more efficiently, but they also carry a larger financial risk. The capital structures of the technological and medical sectors change at different phases. Typically, this innovative industry's substantial capital investment carries a considerable danger of financial strain in addition to the possibility for large reward. For different markets, developed countries' capital structures and impact are like those of low-leverage businesses, whereas developing countries' capital structures and impact are like those of highly leveraged sectors. Furthermore, it examines China and Vietnam among developing countries, considering their distinct features within the same market. China and emerging nations have comparable traits, but Vietnam depends more on retained earnings for development like developed countries, which reduces financial strain and risk but has an impact on the growth and development of businesses.
