The independent variables are the following financial ratios for indicators Return on Assets, Return on Equity, Debt to Equity Ratio, Debt to Asset Ratio, Inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. The study made use of the random effects data model to analyse the various Islamic Banking firms that are listed capital market, using data from 2020 to 2023. The results from the study were that Return on Assets, Return on Equity, Debt to Equity Ratio and Debt to Asset Ratio had a statistically significant impact on the share prices of the Islamic Banking Companies.
