Abstract: This research focuses on assessing the impact of DPS and EPS on listed banks’ share prices in Nigeria. The population of the research is all the twelve conventional banks listed on The Nigerian Stock Exchange. Data were collected from the annual reports of the banks, statistical bulletin and the Nigerian Stock Exchange’s publications. Panel data regression analysis was used to analyze the secondary data obtained. The findings show that DPS and EPS have significant positive impacts on the share prices of listed banks with positive coefficients of 14.65 and 1.02 respectively. It was found that the impacts of each of DPS and EPS were statistically significant. It was also found that the impact of DPS on the share prices of the listed banks was more than that of EPS. The study therefore recommends that directors of a listed bank in Nigeria should manage the bank’s EPS and DPS for their impact on the stock price.
