Debt financing policies within business conglomerates have been one of the most debated issues in corporate finance throughout the years. Diverse theories that deal with capital structure actually justify multiple variables that could ultimately influence picking a particular type of financing mechanism. This study uses the Trade-off and Pecking Order theories as it tries to identify determinant factors in the capital structure of companies in the areas of civil construction and at-large real estate development in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, United States, Mexico and Peru. As such, some variables were taken from the work performed by Morri and Cristanziani (2009) and Morri and Artegiani (2015) in order to appropriately select the corresponding survey hypotheses. The study undertakes Panel Data methodology and uses company data extracted from Compustat, Economática and Capital IQ databases from 2007 to 2017. The results demonstrate American companies having a negative relationship between the level of debt and profit margins, and also between growth and volatility from operations; and, a positive relation between the level of debt and the size of the considered companies. However, companies in Latin America portray a negative relationship between the level of debt and profit margins, and between the level of debt and the cost of debt. Furthermore, the results show that during the post-crisis period (2011-2017), companies in Latin America produced greater debt leverage. When the sample size was analyzed by individual sectors, the statistical analyses confirm that debt leverage is greater for developers and real estate than it is for heavy construction companies.
