<p>This paper seeks to explore the relationship between share prices and the value-relevance of accounting information. The basic <a href="file:///D:/IJBSR/October%2017/Published/1089-3299-2-SM.docx#Ohlson">Ohlson (1995)</a> valuation model has been used to conduct the research using a sample of 93 companies from six broad industries listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), Bangladesh. The adjusted (R²) and estimated regression coefficients of accounting variables are tested in this model. Results report that both Earnings per Share (EPS) and Book Value (BV) have influential power in determining share prices. But, results of the individual effect of EPS and BV to determining share price indicate that the EPS played an increasingly considerable role in projecting share prices than that of BV. Thus, EPS has become more informative to equity investors in predicting the share prices.</p>

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) information and a firm’s stock prices. Design/methodology/approach The present study is based on 193 CERs announcements by Indian firms over a 13-year period 2005–2017. The event study methodology is used to examine the impact of CERs announcements on a firm’s share prices. Findings The study suggests that the issuance of CERs did not produce any significant abnormal return. More specifically, the outcomes of event study shows that over a two-day event window from the event day to the day after the event (i.e. days 0 to 1), the mean and median of AARs are −0.25 and −0.34 percent, respectively. The abnormal returns on day 1 are not statistically significant as per the t-test. Moreover, the mean and median of abnormal returns after one day (−1) are negative, indicating that investors react negatively to CERs announcements. However, the mean and median of CAARs over both the two-day (i.e. days −1 to 0 and days 0 to +1) and three-day (i.e. days −1 to +1) event windows are positive, but not statistically significant based on the t-test. Research limitations/implications The findings of the study are quite comprehensive, relatively used only market-based criteria of a firm’s financial performance, e.g., share price, at times, inhibits generalizing the results. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, the present study is a first of its kind to investigate the relationship between the CERs information and a firm’s stock prices.

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.

Agências de classificação de risco de crédito, como a Moody’s, divulgam os ratings que atribuem às empresas. Primeiramente, essas agências emitem o new rating, que representa o primeiro rating da companhia, e, posteriormente, essa emissão pode apresentar variações, denominadas upgrades e downgrades, relativas a boas e más notícias, respectivamente. Além disso, os ratings podem ser colocados em uma Watchlist quando, em breve, pode haver uma mudança do rating para downgrade ou para upgrade. O objetivo com este estudo consistiu, diante do que foi tratado, em abordar o impacto do rating de crédito sobre os preços das ações de empresas listadas na bolsa de valores brasileira.

This study is an attempt to explain the relationship between intraday return and volume in Tunisian Stock Market. Indeed, former researches avow that the trading activity have the main explanatory power for volatility. However, most theories measure the activity of transactions through the size of exchange or the number of transactions. Nevertheless, these components are not aware enough of the importance of the direction of exchange when explaining the phenomenon of asymmetry of volatility. In the most of studies, the technique “Augmented Tick Test” (ATT) is employed so as to identify the direction of exchange. Such technique is adapted for the markets directed by orders like the Tunisian financial market. Again, this paper shows that the impact of the direction of exchange differs according to the market trend. In other words, if the returns are positive, the transactions of sale (of purchase) generate a decrease (increase) of volatility; whereas, they induce an increase (drop) of volatility if returns are negative. This result stresses the significance of exchange direction in explaning the asymmetry of volatility. Moreover, throughout this study, one may affirm that “Herding trades” are at the origin of the increase of volatility, while the “Contrarian trades” reduce volatility. Similarly, the identification of the direction of exchange enables us to affirm that the transactions of the initiates are characterized by the absence of returns auto- correlation; whereas, the transactions carried out by uninformed investors present an auto- correlation of the returns. In fact, the sign of this correlation varies according to transaction direction.
