Abstract
In recent years, the stock market of Mongolia has become more active than ever with increased number of IPOs and SPOs and addition of number of new products in the market. With the objectives to determine and estimate the relations between P/B ratio to stock rates and other financial indicators. We have conducted the research and analyzed the 2007-2020 trading reports, the dividends distribution, and the financial reports of 42 companies with active trading lists on the Mongolian Stock Exchange identified as I and II classification stocks . We have selected the indicators such as, the size of compa ny, dividend payout ratio, return on assets, return on equity, earnings pe r share, growth of earnings after taxes to be identified as other financial indicators and we have finalized the estimation . According to the results of regressive analysis, based on 565 monitoring data of 42 companies, the indica tors such as, return on assets, return on equity, earnings per share ha ve shown direct correlation to the stock rates; however, other indicators have shown no correlation at all. Thus, further studies on the non-financial factors that have impacts on P/B ratio of stock rates have to be done thoroughly by researchers and analysts.
