Asian Economic and Financial Review, 2014, vol. 4, issue 12, 1894-1905

Abstract: This study aims to investigate and examine the factors affecting stocks liquidity by using data of 100 share holding companies that represent Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) index in the recent period from 2011 to 2013. The result of fixed effects regression model indicates that firm’s size and earnings per share (EPS) have a significant positive impact on stock liquidity proxies. While firm's profitability have a significant negative impact. On the other hand, the results indicate a non significant statistical effect of stock dividends and firm’s leverage ratio. Based on the study's results we recommend that it is better for investors and stock market authority to consider these variables in stock liquidity forecasts.
