Abstract—The capital structure problems of current some petroleum and petrochemical listed company are high of asset-liability ratio and ownership concentration. Selecting 2010-2012 data as a sample and using factor analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis, empirical results show that cash flow capacity factor F1 and growth factor F4 are negatively related to Asset-liability ratio; Size factor F2 and Asset-liability ratio are related. Based on the result of empirical analysis, optimizing the petrochemical listed company's capital structure should pay attention to cash flow capacity and size and growth of petroleum and petrochemical companies.
