AbstractIn 2006, there was a hot debate over the ROI of Chinese companies between World Bank and a Chinese Scholar Shan Weijian. Originated from the argument, this study is designed to provide insights about the ROI of some Chinese companies based on a micro study of fourteen market leaders, aiming to make clear about the problems of profitability, investment, financing and dividend policy appeared in the debate. According to the sample analysis, the study finds that in the past six years, the net profit margin is very stable on the whole but both ROI and ROE are generally on a rise trend. In addition, the capitals from bank credit are decreasing, and the retained earnings played more and more important role in the capital structure. Also, for most companies, there is no over-investment problem. And the dividend payout of the sample is increasing on the whole.
