    (Shanker Dev Campus, 2024) Purnawasi Baniya; : Bhoj Raj Ojha
    This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of determinants of stock price dynamics in the Nepalese life insurance sector, with a specific focus on three prominent companies: Nepal Life Insurance Company Limited (NLIC), National Life Insurance Company Limited (NLICL), and Asian Life Insurance Company Limited (ALICL). The study covers a ten-year period from 2012/13 to 2021/22 and investigates the impact of various financial variables, including Earnings Per Share (EPS), Price Earnings Ratio (PER), Dividend Yield (DY), Return on Equity (ROE), and Stock Return (SR), on the Market Value per Share (MPS) of these companies. The study is based on primary data sources. Financial and statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis are employed to assess the impact of key financial variables on the Market Value per Share of these companies. The study also employs various statistical tests and hypotheses to determine the significance of the relationships between these variables. The findings reveal significant variations in the financial performance of the three selected companies, with NLIC demonstrating the highest average MPS, while ALICL exhibits the highest volatility in its stock returns. Furthermore, the regression analysis highlights the significant impact of EPS and PER on MPS, emphasizing the importance of these variables in understanding stock market performance.
