- Abstract
The study tested the relationship between investor relations (IR), ownership concentration, and company profitability in China stock market, applying the data from 2014 to 2016. Through the empirical test, the investor relations positively correlated with the profitability of enterprises. Further empirical tests show that equity concentration as a moderating variable, when it is too high, it will weaken the contribution of IR to corporate profitability. Therefore, the conclusion of this paper can play a revelation to the listed companies in China. Listed companies should recognize the importance of investor relations. Investor relations should be implemented as an important business strategic decision. Managers should find a suitable equity concentration and achieve the company’s sustainable development.
