Descriptive statistics were conducted, and multiple linear regression models were also used to examine the effect of earnings per share and dividend per share on the market price per share. The findings of the regression analysis showed that while EPS and DPS account for 20.80 percent of the variation in MPPS, other factors account for 79.20 percent of the variation. Further, the outcome indicates that DPS and EPS have a statistically significant and favorable effect on MPPS.
