Abstract

Fluctuations in share prices indicates risk and uncertainty for investors, rendering the share less appealing to a significant number of them. This study aims to investigate the main factors influencing the volatility of share prices among insurance firms listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) during the period from 2016 to 2022. Utilizing the panel OLS regression technique, findings indicated that dividend yield, leverage, and company age all exhibited a notable negative influence on share price volatility, while the dividend payout ratio and company asset size did not demonstrate any significant impact.
