Abstract

V originále

Investors evaluate the situation of companies based on available information and this is reflected in stock prices. The factors that can influence the stock prices can be defined as macroeconomic variables, industry factors and individual company characteristics. Each of these factors could affect stock prices; this study is focused on the financial ratios reflected business activity of companies. The object of the paper is to examine the relationship between selected financial ratios and the stock prices of energy, metallurgical and chemical companies listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange over the 2009 - 2017 period. The Johansen cointegration test is used to examine the long-run equilibrium relationship between the stock prices and selected variables. According to the theory there is expected positive impact of the ROA, the ROE and the DR on stock prices of selected companies, and negative influence of the ER on stock prices of analysed Swiss companies.
