I've run logit regression and its marginal effect at follow. However, they should have the same z-statistics but I couldn't manage to get it, do you possibly know why is it? Can you please fix it if possible? Many thanks to you in advance!

Code:
logit delist inv profit book_lev MTT, cluster(permno)
Iteration 0: log pseudolikelihood = -18638.798
Iteration 1: log pseudolikelihood = -17116.388
Iteration 2: log pseudolikelihood = -13925.904
Iteration 3: log pseudolikelihood = -13667.722
Iteration 4: log pseudolikelihood = -13661.271
Logistic regression Number of obs = 102,384
Wald chi2(84) = 4529.30
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log pseudolikelihood = -13661.16 Pseudo R2 = 0.2671
(Std. Err. adjusted for 10,947 clusters in permno)
