Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between Stock Price Synchronicity and information environment variables in Pakistani equity market by using data of 133 stocks for the period of June 2002 to June 2016. The results indicate that liquidity, book to market ratio, percentage of zero volume days and size have significant impact on stock price synchronicity. The findings of the study suggest that low R-squared stocks are smaller, have less turnover rate and infrequent trading, which makes them less profitable. During global financial crisis, the stocks are more synchronized with the market. This study further suggests that low-stock-price synchronicity is a result of firm-specific variables.
