Summary:This study aims to shed some light on how certain financial fundamentals influence the share price movement of the listed small capitalization companies in Bursa Malaysia, providing investors some useful insights into the factors behind the movement of these stock prices. This study investigates 102 small capital companies covered under the FBM Small Capital Index as this index is the indicator of the performance of the small capital companies listed in Bursa Malaysia. The time horizon of this study is 9 years (2005-2013). A total of 10 financial ratios were used in determining their influence on share price; namely Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Operating Cash Flow Margin (OCFM), Current Ratio (CR), Earning Per Share (EPS), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Price to Book Value (PBV) and Cash and Cash Equivalent per Share (CCE).
