This paper aims to empirically investigate the impact of capital structure choice on the firm performance of the firms listed under the Dhaka Stock Exchange of Bangladesh. Multiple regression has been employed in this research to determine the relationship between the capital structure and the firm’s financial performance. Three ratios of financial performance, i.e., return on assets, return on equity, and gross margin, have been used as a sample of non-financial Bangladeshi companies, selected from 2010 to 2015. The study records numerous findings. First, the result shows a significant negative influence of long-term debt (LTD) and total debt (TTD) on firm financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA), but no significant relationship is found between short-term debt (STD) and this measure of firm’s financial performance. Moreover, the research found that there is no significant effect of short-term debt, long-term debt and total debt on the firm financial performance measured by return on equity (ROE). Finally, the result shows that a significant negative influence of short-term debt and total debt on firm performance measured by GM, but no significant relationship was found between long-term debt and financial performance. In general terms, the results of this study may suggest that capital structure has a negative influence on firms’ financial performance in Bangladesh.

Purpose: The basic aim of this study is to investigate how capital structure influences the performance of firms from textile sector listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange, taking liquidity of the firms as a moderator. Methodology: Data of 30 listed textile firms is taken from their financial statementsfor a period of ten years from 2007 to 2016.Analysis has been conducted using the Ordinary least square (OLS) regression. Two measures of capital structure (debt ratio and debt-to-equity ratio) have been used to find out its impact on three performance measures (return on assets, return on equity, and earnings per share). Findings: The variable, total debt ratio does not have any significant effect on all the three firm performance measures (return on asset, return on equity and earnings per share). Debt-to-equity ratio variable also does not have a significant impact on two firm performance measures (ROA and ROE). It however has a significant, negative impact on EPS. In case of liquidity as a moderator, it is found that liquidity acts as the significant moderator between the debt ratio and return on assets whereas liquidity factor is significant in case of relation between debt –to-equity variable and two performance variables return on assets and earnings per share.. Practical implications: Practically this study is important from managerial perspective as the appropriate decision for choosing a level of capital structure vis-à-vis total assets and total equity is essential for the better performance of the firms.
