The review of the financial strategies of Polish pulp and paper companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange

Abstract

The review of the financial strategies of Polish pulp and paper companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the financial strategy undertaken by the polish pulp and paper companies listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2018 - 2020. In this paper three most frequently used indicators characterising company’s financing strategy were analysed, namely: equity capital share in total capital, equity capital share in fixed assets and long-term debt share in total debt. The calculations used data from publicly available quarterly financial statements of the analysed enterprises for the period from 1st quarter of 2018 to 3rd quarter of 2020. The calculations showed that Kompap has a more moderate policy of financing its activity. The second company, Arctic Paper, was characterized by a more risky approach to the financing strategy.
