Factors affecting refinancing
1. The influence of financing cost on equity financing preference: for debt financing cost, the cost of refinancing can be said to be much lower than it, so this is also the main reason why listed companies are very keen on refinancing;
2. The influence of listed companies' governance structure on financing preference: Most listed companies in China stock market are restructured and listed by state-owned enterprises through incremental issuance of shares, and their governance structure still bears the brand of state-owned enterprises;
3. The impact of the evaluation system of listed companies on equity financing preference: For listed companies, their management goal is mainly to maximize the interests of shareholders. However, because the after-tax profit index of enterprises only assesses the debt cost of enterprises in indirect financing, but does not assess the cost of equity financing, even if it is assessed, the result is always low, so listed companies prefer equity financing;
4. The influence of listed companies' profit expectations on their preference for equity financing: As the profitability of most companies will drop sharply after refinancing, the return on assets of listed companies is basically lower than the loan interest rate of banks, which makes major shareholders more inclined to equity financing;
5. The influence of other uncertain factors on equity financing preference: The financing of listed companies is not only affected by financing cost and corporate governance structure, but also by other factors such as growth and financial status.
