Abstract

This research examines the impact of capital structure on financial performance of listed pharmaceutical and medical firms in Vietnam. Using FGLS regression method on financial datasets of 24 pharmaceutical and medical firms listed on HOSE and HNX in the period from 2012 to 2021. The research results show that the capital structure represented by the debt to total assets ratio has a negative impact on financial performance, and the results have a consensus when using both short-term debt and long-term debt ratios. On the other hand, this research also shows that tangible fixed asset ratios have a negative effect, revenue growth opportunities have a positive effect on financial performance of pharmaceutical and medical firms. The research findings confirm the role of capital structure on the financial performance of firms according to the argument of the pecking order theory and are the basis for proposing some implications to improve financial efficiency for firms.
