Abstract-Performance of a company usually reflects its stock price. Companies with a good performance supposedly will have a good demand on its stock, hence boost the price and vice versa. However, there's manipulation game in the market. Rumors, speculation and short-selling are among the manipulation activities that affect the fluctuation of stock price. Fundamental analysis could provide an accurate result on companies' performance which not only base on the company's stock price. This research been conducted to study the relationship of historical performance of selected Islamic banks towards their stock performance and to identify the most significant independent variable. This research is a fundamental analysis, hence financial ratios been used as the main tool to produce data of dependent and independent variables. The research been conducted on licensed Islamic Banks in Malaysia as listed by Bank Negara Malaysia and focus on three independent variables of profitability, efficiency and liquidity and to see their relationship towards the dependent variable of the bank's stock performance. A set of quarterly data from year 2007 to 2012 been used in conducting ratio analysis. The result been further analyse using STATA 10.1 software. This research provides result on significant and relationship direction of profitability, efficiency and liquidity towards the banks stock performance. It also proves the most significant independent variable which has the strongest impact towards the stock performance.
Performance of a company is important for identifying its survival ranking and for its future direction, improvement and development strategy. Bank performance has conventionally been measured using financial ratios and several quantitative indicators, which appraise its financial strength. The same yardstick is being used by Islamic banks to measure their performance. This practice gives rise to the question whether Islamic banks appear to be focusing on Maqasid al-Shari'ah in their achievements or they share the same primary intention of conventional commercial banks, which strive for maximizing shareholders' wealth. Scholars have raised concern that Islamic banks seem to be replicating the conventional banking system and this is creating a widening gap between the theory and practice of Islamic banking. Hence, this study has used a sample of 18 banks in Malaysia to critically review the organization's vision and mission statements based on Maqasid al-Shari'ah by embracing content analysis and behavioral science operationalization method. The results show that the majority of Islamic banks have focused on the concept of establishing justice with emphasis on the elimination of negative elements that breed injustice, whereas conventional banks have put emphasis on profitability of the bank, categorized under the maslahah concept. Since there is different focus between the conventional and Islamic banks, there is a need for Islamic banks to evaluate their performance within their own framework and using their own criteria.
Investors should consider stock market performance when making an investment decision. Both economic and non-economic factors influence the stock market's performance. Previous research, primarily from developed markets, has revealed that macroeconomic factors significantly impact stock returns. Economic forces are used in this paper to investigate the significant relationship between selected macroeconomic variables, the Malaysian stock return index for the financial sector, and the Bursa Malaysia Finance Services Index. The macroeconomic variables examined are inflation (INF), money supply (M.S.) and the real effective exchange rate (REER). This study's sample consists of 164 timeseries observations. The observations are annual secondary data obtained from the World Bank, Index Mundi, and the Malaysian Bureau of Statistics from January 1979 to December 2019. Several regression analyses and econometric tests were performed with the interactive software package E-Views 11. The findings of this research paper provide an initial overview and can serve as a valuable foundation for investors' and policymakers' respective investment strategies and policies.
