This paper examines the effect of capital structure on the firms’ performance. The study collected data from seventeen firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange from 2009 to 2018. A quantitative research technique is used to collect data to test two hypotheses. Panel data regression is employed to determine the effect of capital structure on firms’ performance. The study revealed that short-term debt and total debt accounted for 67% and 76.3% respectively of capital used to finance the operations for the period. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is significant and negative relationship between capital structures and firms’ performance. The study concludes that firms should minimise the use of debt capital and rather concentrate on equity capital to finance their operations. The study recommends that firms should increase sales and invest in tangible assets to maximise the firms’ performance.

The study tries to investigate the key determinants of capital structure of leading automobile companies and the Automobile Industry in India. The study also tracks the theory implications, i.e. trade off vs. pecking order in these firms and the industry in general. An attempt is to see, if individually each sample company and the whole industry are influenced by the same determinants of capital structure. Pooled ordinary least squares and panel data econometric techniques such as fixed effect models are used to investigate the most significant determinants that affect the capital structure choice of 10 leading companies categorized as BSE Auto Top 100 and the Automobile Industry as a whole for a period of 14 years from 2000–2001 to 2013–2014. The study reveals some interesting facts and results. Multiple regression analysis reveals that while profitability and size are significant determinants in most of the leading companies; NDTS, Growth, and Debt service coverage ratio are not significant for these companies. While the Panel data results of the Automobile Industry as a whole reveals that profitability is the only significant determinant having negative relationship with debt equity ratio; and the other variables are insignificant. Also individual companies coefficient results shows implications of mix of pecking order and trade off theories while the panel data results of the whole Industry strongly supports the Pecking order theory.

ABSTRACTCovid-19 Pandemic has caused massive changes. Lockdown policy set by the government to suppress the rate of transmission of the virus has had huge impact on the economy. Many companies must suffer losses, even have to declare bankruptcy. Operational activities had been limited that caused the company no longer being able to rely on internal funding to finance its business. The company is faced with a choice of external funding decisions, that is increasing debt (on liability side) or issue shares (on the equity side). This study aims to examine the effect of capital structure during the pandemic on financial performance. This research conducted on 121 companies from consumer non-cyclicals, transportation & logistic, and banking sector listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results show that during the pandemic companies tend to prefer to increase debt than equity. Further testing shows that the companies with dominant debt capital structure have positive effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, the companies with a dominant equity capital structure have no significant effect.Keywords: debt, equity, financial performance, pandemicABSTRAKPandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan perubahan yang sangat masif. Kebijakan lockdown yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah untuk menekan laju penularan virus memberikan dampak yang sangat besar bagi perekonomian. Banyak perusahaan yang harus mengalami kerugian, bahkan harus mengumumkan kebangkrutan. Kegiatan operasional perusahaan yang terbatas mengakibatkan perusahaan tidak lagi dapat mengandalkan pendanaan internal untuk membiayai usahanya. Perusahaan dihadapkan pilihan keputusan pendanaan eksternal, yaitu menambah utang (di sisi liabilitas) atau menerbitkan saham (di sisi ekuitas). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh struktur modal di masa pandemi terhadap kinerja keuangan. Pengujian dilakukan ke 121 perusahaan dari perusahaan sektor barang konsumen non-primer, transport dan logistik, dan perbankan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di masa pandemi, perusahaan cenderung lebih memilih menambah utang dibandingkan ekuitas. Pengujian lebih lanjut menunjukkan bahwa sampel perusahaan dengan struktur modal dominan utang menunjukkan hasil berpengaruh positif pada kinerja keuangan. Sedangkan pada sampel perusahaan dengan struktur modal dominan ekuitas menunjukkan hasil tidak signifikan.Kata kunci: ekuitas, kinerja keuangan, pandemi, utang

This paper attempts to determine the capital structure of listed firms in the cement industry of Pakistan. The study finds that a specific industry’s capital structure exhibits unique attributes which are usually not apparent in the combined analysis of many sectors as done by Shah & Hijazi (2005). The study took 16 of 22 firms in the cement sector, listed at the Karachi Stock Exchange for the period 1997-2001 and analyzed the data by using pooled regression in a panel data analysis. Following the model developed by Rajan & Zingle (1995) it has chosen four independent variables i.e. firm size (measured by natural log of sales), tangibility of assets, profitability and growth and further analyzed the effects on leverage. The results, except for firm size, were found to be highly significant.

The Impact

This study aims at investigating the impact of financial flexibility on the speed of target adjustment of capital structure. For this purpose, the partial adjustment model with interaction dummy term is used and tested using panel data analysis for a sample of 47 industrial firms listed in Amman Stock Exchange over the period of 1996 to 2014. The results of Random and fixed effects models showed that the target reversion of capital structure occurs slowly. The results also revealed that financial flexible firms adjust their leverage ratio much faster than less flexible firms. The tendency of making target reversion increases when inflexible firms have leverage above its target level, while inflexible firms with above-target leverage ratio adjust their leverage faster than flexible firms. These findings suggest that financial flexibility plays an important role on determining the financing decisions in Jordanian industrial firms. Moreover, they suggest how large bankruptcy risk is critical for industrial Jordanian firms. Hence, Industrial Jordanian firms should take into consideration the financial flexibility when they set their financial decisions to avoid the loss of profitable investment opportunities or experience the financial distress
