The results show that, when EVA is included in the M&A performance, the higher the equity ratio of the target company, the better the performance of M&A; the performance of diversified M&A is better than that of peers; the effect of M&A experience on M&A performance is not significant. At the same time, the results of robustness test and multiple regression analysis are consistent. The conclusion provides an empirical basis for listed companies to improve M&A performance with the consideration of opportunity cost. %U https://journalsk.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.19722/j.cnki.1008-7729.2021.0032
