Capital structure is a crucial part of corporate financial management. This article aims to reveal the potential impact of capital structure optimization on the overall value of enterprises by studying its impact. This article analyzes the impact of asset liability ratio, current liability ratio, and long-term liability ratio on corporate value by selecting financial data from 8 representative listed companies from 2018 to 2022. This article finds that optimizing capital structure has a positive effect on the economic value added of enterprises. Meanwhile, under the influence of controlling for other variables, the size, profitability, and growth of the enterprise have a moderating effect on the optimization effect. This study provides key factors for further understanding the financial decision-making of enterprises.
