The advantages and disadvantages of public versus private corporate ownership have long been debated; however, little empirical research has provided insight into the issue. We investigate the consequences of public versus private ownership on future profitability by examining a large cross-section of public and private firms as well as a propensity-matched sample of public and private firms. We find robust evidence that public firms are associated with significantly lower operating profitability three and five years into the future when compared with private firms after controlling for firm size, current profitability, growth, and components of profitability. We also find that the differential future profitability of public versus private firms is driven primarily by future profit margins and the association between the lower future profitability of public firms is more pronounced for firms in short-term focused and highly competitive industries. Finally, we find that public firms are associated with smoother future earnings than private firms. The results provide insight into the differential future profitability of public versus private firms and the factors that influence the differential profitability.
