This paper analyzes the impact of leverage (short- and long-term debt) and some other key variables (growth, size, return on assets (ROA) and solvency) on the stock market returns of Mexican listed companies, over 2017-2021. The period covers the Covid-19 crisis and the previous period of uncertainty generated by the benchmark interest rate cut in 2018. For this purpose, panel least squares: ordinary (OLS) and fully modified (FMOLS) models are proposed. Empirical evidence shows that ROA, growth, size, and solvency have a significant impact on stock returns. Variables related to leverage do not seem to be related to stock returns.

Palabras llave : Financial Leverage; stock returns; Mexican Stock Exchange; Panel Data Model; OLS; FMOLS.
