There are three aspects of risk for listed companies: the first is the stability of the core management team. The second is financial risk, such as if the company have a high gearing ratio, after listing, the speed of company ability of development and the growth of the company’s net profit will be slowdown. The listed company has to raise funds and invest in new projects, and the depreciation of its fixed assets will also lead to a decline in profits. The third is the risk of intangible assets of enterprises. For example, the new technology of the company is not mature enough to be industrialized, and even the old technology has been eliminated, which will make the competitiveness of the company face a severe test after listing.
