The Values Based on Measuring Performance and Shares Prices

ABSTRACT: Shares price is an index for assessing the trading units, and in a broader sense, the stock exchange performance. Accordingly, this measure can serve in most cases as a principal factor to decide whether or not an investor should remain in the market. An attempt has been made in this study to investigate and test the effect of values such as rate of return on equity, return to assets ratio, and economic value added on the shares prices of the firms accepted to Tehran’s Stock Exchange. For this purpose, a sample of 56 firms was selected using a simple sampling method for a five years period (2005-2010). The collected data was analyzed with SPSS. The data testing method was a correlation method. The results of the study show that the values such as the variables used in this research can affect the firm’s shares prices.
