Prospective investors in the Stock Exchange desire empirical based analysis of firms’ performance to guide their investment decisions. This study examined the impact of quantitative factor, dividend per share (DPS) on determination of share prices of the selected consumer goods firms listed in the Nigeria Stock Exchange over the period 2009-2018. One hypothesis anchoring on the impact of independent variable DPS on the share prices was formulated for testing in this study. Judgmental sampling technique was adopted in the study. Annual financial statements of the selected firms were used for the study. Ratio analysis, correlation and linear regression models were used to measure the impact of the independent variable on the Share price (SP), the dependent variable. Paired sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 5% level of significance. The empirical findings show that, there is a positive correlation between the independent variable (DPS). DPS is accountable for about 21.7% changes in the share prices of consumer goods firms listed in the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Investors are enjoined to carefully scrutinize the trend in the DPS of the consumer goods company listed in Nigeria Stock Exchange among other variables before investing their funds; doing so will lead them to making good and viable investment decisions. Management of the consumer goods firms should also strive to operate optimal dividend policy that will not be detrimental to the share price of its organization. KEY WORDS: Dividend per share, share price, Stock Exchange, consumer goods firms.

The results of the study show that the fundamentals of stock prices both directly and indirectly are significant. IOS to share prices, both directly and indirectly, are significant. While the company's growth in stock prices both directly and indirectly are not significant.

This paper provides empirical evidence to evaluate the business case of corporate social responsibility. In contrast to former studies, we choose to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility awards and share prices. We examined this relationship in the contextual setting of Pakistan, where several award schemes are operating to reward CSR performance. An event study methodology was adopted to investigate the impact of award announcement on the abnormal return of TOP 100 companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. A daily price for each company was collected during the estimation window of 120 days before the event window and an event window of 3 days [-1, 0, 1]. Our analysis shows that the overall announcement of CSR awards has an insignificant impact on share price.

Market Share Prices have important roles in determining the performance of the companies. Companies aim continuously to have a high market share prices for many goals. Therefore, understanding all variables that affect share prices is vital for investors. To examine if the Accounting Information affects market share prices, we studied the effect of some financial ratios determined from accounting statements on share prices for listed firms on Kuwait Stock Exchange and Saudi Stock Exchange. For Kuwait stock exchange, the quantitative methodology relied on the panel multiple regression through compiling and analyzing the Accounting Information and Market Share Price using secondary data for the period 2011 – 2018. The independent variables are Return on Equity (ROE), Earning per Share (EPS), and Dividend per Share(DPS) and the dependent variable is Market Share Price (MSP) of premier listed companies on Kuwait stock exchange. The analysis of the coefficient of correlation (R) shows that the correlation is very strong among DPS and EPS, DPS and ROE, EPS and ROE whilst it is strong among MSP and ROE, MSP and DPS, and EPS and MSP. Moreover, the variation of the three variables affects strongly the variation of MSP significantly on 1%. Therefore, there is a cause-effect relation between Accounting Information and MSP. Moreover, this paper examines the impact of return and leverage ratios on the Market Share Price of listed firms on Saudi Stock Exchange. The panel-data approach of fixed effect is used during the period of 2015 to 2018. To achieve the purpose of research return on equity as a proxy for profitability information, debt to equity ratio as a proxy for profitability ratio and natural logarithm of total assets as a proxy for the firms’ size are considered as dependent variables while market share price is considered as an independent variable. The results indicate that debt ratio and degree of financial leverage is negatively determining the share price while size has significant positive impact on the share. Debt to equity ratio is insignificant in effecting share price.
