The purpose of this study is to see how leverage and managerial abilities affect shareholder returns. The share of debt in the total capital structure of the company is particularly important in this study. Leverage is calculated using total debt and long-term debt. The managerial abilities of each company's CEO are assessed based on his or her degree and experience. The return on equity is used to determine how much a stockholder's investment is worth. Different capital structures are used by different organisations, and it is challenging for a manager to determine which capital structure minimises risk and expense while maximising shareholder wealth and firm value. I performed panel data analysis on a sample of 25 companies from 2009 to 2014 for this investigation. Companies from Pakistan's agricultural industry were picked. A significant and positive association exists between a firm's total debt and return on equity, according to the findings of panel data analysis. Similarly, there is a strong and negative association between a company's total debt and return on equity, according to the data. The CEO's education and experience are found to have a strong and favourable association with return on equity. Return on equity, on the other hand, has a negative but significant link with long-term debt. According to the findings, a company's return to shareholders decreases as its debt increases. Increasing just long-term debt diminishes stockholder returns in the same way.
