FACTORS INFLUENCING STOCK PRICES: AN ANALYSIS OF COMPANY PERFORMANCE METRICS ON NSE

Abstract

This study examines the factors that affect NSE stock values, focusing on metrics that quantify company performance. We look at a number of ratios, including price-to-earnings (P/E), return on equity (ROE), debt-to-equity (D/E), and earnings per share (EPS), to understand how they affect stock prices. The study uses quantitative approaches like regression analysis and qualitative evaluations to find out how these measures are related to stock prices. In order to provide a comprehensive analysis of stock price patterns, we also consider market sentiment and macroeconomic factors. By showing how politicians, financial analysts, and investors perceive and react to metrics of a company's performance, the findings are helpful for all three groups. Keywords: stock prices, National Stock Exchange (NSE), company performance metrics, earnings per share (EPS), price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio), return on equity (ROE), debt-to-equity ratio (D/E ratio), regression analysis, market sentiment, macroeconomic factors.
