However, there is weak and inverse relationship between financial leverage and stock value, and this relationship is not significant, so there is no statistically significant relationship between financial leverage and company’s value. There is a positive relationship between capital structure and return on equity upon using multiple regression analysis; it was shown that the strongest relationship was between capital structure and dependent variable (company’s stock value). Finally, there is a clear impact of financial structure return on equity on company’s value, and therefore by reviewing these variables the financial analyst can predict future company’s value.
