Purpose: The paper aims to access the impact of financial transparency and disclosure on stock market capitalization. The financial transparency and disclosure measure the extent to which the firms have open firm-specific information for the investors. More transparency leads to strong investor protection. Design/methodology: The study has been conducted on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from period 2008 to 2017. Descriptive Statistics, Correlation, and Regression Analysis have been used to find out the impact of the above-mentioned variables on the Stock market Capitalization. Findings: The results support our hypothesis that information disclosure and strength of investor protection has a positive significant impact on market capitalization. Research Limitation: While our study focuses on the significance of information disclosure and transparency, it does not measure the quality and accuracy of the information disclosed. Practical Implication: The results might be of interest to potential investors who will be able to diversify their investment in a way that minimizes risks based on the disclosure practices of the firms. Originality/value: The research contributes to the finance literature by finding out the impact of information disclosure on stock market capitalization in the Pakistan Stock Exchange on recent data.
