Abstract:
Investors want more information about the company traded on the stock exchange and that the investment they will make will result from analytical decisions. Equity capital adequacy reduces the risk of bankruptcy and concordat of the firm. Therefore, measuring equity capital and determining its adequacy will positively affect economic stability. Factors such as debt levels of companies, cash flow statements, and profit margins on current assets draw attention. This study examined foreign resource distributions and capital adequacy of 32 companies traded in Borsa Istanbul between 2009 and 2019 regarding debt/equity ratios. The company information obtained from BIST has been analyzed for statistical significance. When the relationship between the equity distributions of the enterprises between 2009-2019 was analyzed by correlation analysis, it was determined that there were positive and significant relationships between the data (p≤.05).
