Abstract

We use quarterly data, covering 4 years from 12/31/2016 to 12/31/2020, freely available from the CSMAR database. Data analysis is conducted by R and STATA statistical software. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal (rank-sum) test is used to determine whether the mean values of three or more independent (unrelated) groups were statistically significant and to ensure that the observation of the hypothesis graph is accurate. We also use regression analysis to explore the epidemic’s impact on the profitability of Chinese education enterprises. We analyze the profitability of enterprises by analyzing the return on total assets, return on common shareholders’ equity and operating profit margin. The conclusion is that the COVID-19 epidemic has had a serious negative impact on listed companies in the education industry, leading to a significant decline in the profitability of enterprises in the education industry. By exploring the market reaction caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, the research on the loss of enterprise value under the impact of COVID-19 has been enriched. In particular, this paper focuses on the market response of educational companies, complementing research on the heterogeneous impact of COVID-19 on different industries.
