| dc.description.abstract | This research sought to examine the factors influencing the stock prices of development banks in Nepal. To meet the study's specific objective, both descriptive and causal-comparative research methods were employed. The analysis was based on panel data from Nepalese development banks over a 10-year period, from 2013/14 to 2022/23. The dependent variable was market value per share (MVPS), which reflects the market price, while the independent variables included the debt ratio (DR), earnings per share (EPS), dividend payout ratio (DPR), price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), and SIZE. In this study, secondary data were utilized. Panel data analysis using ordinary least square (OLS) regression served as the primary analytical method. The price-earnings ratio was found to have a significant positive correlation with MVPS, while size showed a significant negative relationship with MVPS. The regression results indicated that the debt ratio, EPS, and P/E ratio had a positive and significant impact on MVPS. However, the DPR and size variables were statistically insignificant in relation to MVPS. Overall, a linear relationship exists between the debt ratio (DR), earnings per share (EPS), dividend payout ratio (DPR), price-earnings ratio (P/E), and size, and their effect on market value per share (MVPS). | |
