Résumé : |
By analyzing the capital structure of 29 platform companies listed in China and America, this paper finds that platform companies in general don’t have a high level of debt with an average debt ratio at 38%. Due to the special business model of platform companies, this type of firms share a similarity that they all have low tangibility. According to the results of multiple linear regression, this paper confirms that the typical industrial characteristic of platform-based companies which is asset-light has a strongly positive relation with the companies’ capital structure quantified as debt ratio. Beside this, firm size has a significant positive relation with platform companies’ debt ratio while profitability is negatively related with it. Under high asset risk which indicated by low tangibility and high industry risk which presented by high volatility of profitability between platform companies, it is reasonable that this type of companies normally don’t use high financial leverage. |
