This study focuses on the factors that affect capital structure of Sri Lanka's publicly traded industrial enterprises.
In prior studies, capital structure was mostly used as an independent variable.However, it is covered in this article as a profit margin-dependent variable. This work aims to close this knowledge gap. In this study, the capital structure of companies listed in the manufacturing sector on the CSE will be examined in relation to various determinants. The manufacturing sector is being examined since it is significant to Sri Lanka's economy. The capital structure, as used in finance, refers to how a corporation finances its assets by combining stock, debt, and hybrid securities.
