    (Shanker Dev Campus, 2024) Samjhana Sapkota; Asst. Prof. Durga Datt Pathak
    Market price of share is not consistent because it is affected by firm specific factors, macroeconomic factors and phycological factors. Therefore, this study examines the how firm specific and microeconomic factors influence market price of stock in Nepal Stock Market. This study employed both descriptive and explanatory research design. The secondary data were collected from ten development banks under the period of 2016/2017 to 2022/2023. To test the hypothesis multiple regression was used. The result found that the market price per share (MPS) is highly positively correlated with EPS. MPS is negatively correlated with consumer’s price index (CPI), whereas MPS is low positively correlated with banks size and moderately positive correlated with GDPGR, PER and DPS. The dependent variable of this study is MPS, which is positively correlated with all of the independent variables, except low negative correlation with consumer’s price index (CPI). The study's main finding is that the model employed has a high statistical significance. A variety of independent variables, including DPS, EPS, PER, SIZE, GDPGR and CPI might influence MPS prediction. The results of the normality test indicate that the dependent variable's data are distributed regularly. The regression result indicates that, coefficient of first four independent variables are positive and last two are negative.
