The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of capital structure choice on firm’s financial performanceof delisted companies on the stock market. Based on the data collected from 80 companies delisted from Vietnam stock markets (HNX and HOSE) in the period from 2012 to 2015, using quantitative research methods, we find a correlation between the capital structure and the financial performance of the firms.
