The study aims at identifying the impact of stock characteristics represented by (Earnings Per Share (EPS), Book Value Ratio (BVR), Dividends Per Share (DPS), Dividends Payout Ratio (DPR), Market to Book Ratio (MBR), Price Earnings Ratio (PER), and Yield Per Share (YPE)) on the market stock price in the 13 commercial banks in Jordan during the period from 2005 to 2018. Multiple Linear Regression has been used to illustrate the impact of the independent variables and the controlling variables on the dependent variable. The study has found that there is a significant impact of stock characteristics on its market price at the Jordanian commercial banks. The study also found a statistically significant impact for each book value ratio, dividends per share, market to book ratio, price-earnings ratio, and yield per share on the market price at the Jordanian commercial banks. However, there was no statistically significant effect for each of the earnings per share and dividend’s payout ratio on the market price at the Jordanian commercial banks. The study recommends that investors, analysts, and decision-makers use the characteristics of stocks when carrying out analyses before making important investment decisions that can affect their wealth in the future through forecasting stock prices.
The small projects sector suffers from many constraints, especially in terms of the financial side due to weakness in the finance, the problem of the study occurs based on the presence of obstacles in financing small projects by Jordanian Commercial Banks (Banking Obstacles, Small Projects Obstacles, and Governmental Obstacles). Thus, the study seeks to identify those obstacles, and it founded there is a significant statistical impact of the obstacles (Banking obstacles, Small projects Obstacles, Governmental obstacles) on the financing of small projects by Jordanian commercial banks. Also, there is a good statistical relationship between the obstacles (Banking obstacles, Small projects Obstacles, Governmental obstacles) and the financing of small projects by Jordanian commercial bank. The study recommended that the central bank should make laws that force banks to set aside a portion of the loans portfolio to small projects. Also, there is a need for the government to provide support to small projects, specifically in the training of the human resources and in the making of an economic feasibility study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
