leverage = the use of credit for financial transactions (the use of borrowed money rather than share capital to produce profits, e.g. paying for an investment in shares by means of a loan for which securities have been put up as collateral). An investment is said to have a high leverage if a large proportion of the company’s assets has been bought with borrowed money, i.e. when the company’s debt is high compared with the size of its share capital. Such a company is at a disadvantage because the interest it has to pay on its borrowings reduces its earnings per share.

third-person singular simple present leverages,
present participle leveraging,
simple past and past participle leveraged)
