The research mostly assessed and established the influence of capital structure on the performance of firms listed under the Dar Es Salaam stock exchange (DSE). Specifically, the study aimed to assess the influence of total debt to equity ratio (TDE), total debt to assets ratio (TDA), total equity ratio (TEQ) on the performance of listed firms in Tanzania. Also, the study aimed to determine the control effect of firm size (FS) on the relationship between firm performance and capital structure. The quantitative panel data approach was used. The fixed-effect model for ROA was done to see the influence of TDE on ROA. Results indicated that only TEQ has a significant positive influence on the ROA while TDE and TDA have no significant influence on the ROA. Also, the fixed-effect model for ROCE was carried out to see the relationship between TDE and ROCE. Results showed that TDA and TEQ are insignificant to the ROCE, while TDE is significant to the ROCE. Findings also showed that the presence of the FS on the model of capital structure and ROA, results in TDA, and TEQ having a significant influence on ROA, while TDE becomes insignificant to ROA. Moreover, results indicated that the presence of the FS on the model of capital structure and ROCE results in the only TDE to have a significant influence on ROCE, while TDA and TEQ became insignificant to ROA. The study concluded that TDE has no significant influence on the ROA but TDE has a significant influence on ROCE. Also, the study concluded that TDA has no significant influence on both the ROA and ROCE while TEQ influences ROA positively, and has no significant influence on ROCE. Moreover, the study concluded that the presence of the FS on the model of capital structure and ROA, results in TDA, and TEQ having a significant influence on ROA, while TDE becomes insignificant to ROA. Furthermore, FS resulted in TDE having a significant influence on ROCE, while TDA and TEQ become insignificant to ROCE. The study recommends that companies very carefully must decide on a reasonable capital structure to maintain the performance of the company.

This study aims to examine some factors affecting the financial performance of manufacturing companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This research uses data on the financial statements of 20 manufacturing companies listed on IDX in the period 20132017 and carried out share distribution facilities for their employees. This research model is a panel regression model done by testing the common effect model, fixed-effect model, and random effect model. Based on the Chow test and Hausman test, it is found that the best model in this study is the fixed effect model. The study results find that dividend policy, a share giving program to employees, and debt to equity ratio are significant factors affecting the financial performance of manufacturing companies in Indonesia. From these three factors, the debt to equity ratio is the dominant factor determining the financial performance of manufacturing companies, while investment decision does not significantly affect it. Future research studies can be carried out by focusing on other industrial sectors such as the Jakarta Islamic Index 70 and adding other macroeconomic variables.

This study investigated the relationship between the listed firms’ debt level and performance in Bursa Malaysia during a five-year period. Based on the results of the Hausman test and Breusch-Pagan LM test, the fixed-effect model is the most appropriate model that used to analyze the panel data of 50 Malaysian listed companies within the property sector from the year 2015 to 2019. The results indicated that the short-term debt (STD) and long-term debt (LTD) have positive and insignificant effects on return on asset (ROA), which means that the increase in the short-term debt and long-term debt will lead to an increase in the return on assets. Besides that, account payables (AP) has a negative and insignificant effect on the profitability of property sector companies. According to the outcome of the Granger Causality test, the return on assets does not affect by the account payables, short-term debt, long-term debt and firm size. There is only one unidirectional causality relationship that proves that short-term debt is affected by long-term debt. Additionally, this study focuses on enhancing the existing empirical knowledge of debt financing's influence on the profitability of the listed firms in the property sector.

This study examines the relationship between liquidity and stock returns in the Palestinian banks listed in the Palestine Exchange over the period July 2009–July 2018. The study uses three liquidity measures: trading probability (TP), turnover rate (TR), and the measure of Amihud (2002), ILLIQ. The results of Pearson’s correlation test showed a positive correlation between tow liquidity measures (TP and ILLIQ) and stock returns, and the results of fixed-effect model showed a significant effect for the same tow liquidity measures (TP and ILLIQ) on stock returns. So, in the context of Palestine, TP and ILLIQ seem to appear better measures for liquidity; thus, the investors can use these two measures of liquidity to predict the stock returns of the Palestinian banks.
