Item Capital Structure and Firm Performance: Empirical Evidence from India(Sage, 2016-01) Chadha, SaurabhThis paper studies the impact of capital structure or financial leverage on firm financial performance. A sample size of 422 listed Indian manufacturing companies on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has been taken to analyze the relationship between leverage and firm performance. A period of 10 years from 2003–2004 to 2012–2013 and annual financial standalone data have been considered to analyze the leverage effect. Ratio analysis and panel data approach have been applied to perform the empirical study. Return on asset, return on equity and Tobin’s Q are used as the proxy for measuring the firm’s financial performance. It was found that financial leverage has no impact on the firm’s financial performance parameters of return on asset and Tobin’s Q. However, it is negative and significantly correlated with return on equity. Other independent variables like size, age, tangibility, sales growth, asset turnover and ownership structure are significant determinants of a firm’s financial performance in the Indian manufacturing sector. Thus, the findings of the study would enhance the literature on capital structure and is relevant for the Indian manufacturing industry in taking its capital structure decisions as it is based on the most recent data and covers the period of both pre- and post-recession of 2008–2009. There is an adverse effect of recession on the financial performance of the Indian manufacturing firms.Item Determinants of capital structure: an empirical evaluation from India(Emerald, 2015-05) Chadha, SaurabhThe purpose of this paper is to study the key determinants of capital structure for Indian manufacturing firms and which theory implications, i.e. trade vs. pecking order are more applicable in the current Indian manufacturing sector scenario.Item Ownership structure and capital structure: a panel data study(Inder Science, 2021-03) Chadha, SaurabhCapital structure and ownership structure are two important concerns of overall firm's management.
