The study explains the existing gap between book value per share and market value per share of banks listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange. It examines the possible determinants that could influence the market value per share. Among those determinants, the proponents have chosen to use earnings, earnings and components and credit risk as the main variables since they can affect the performance of banks. Earnings are chosen because they have been considered as profitability indicators that measure the performance of banks over a particular period. Likewise components of earnings will be taken into account, because previous researchers have concluded that these could better explain the market values per share more than earnings do. Moreover, credit risk is involved in the study because the impact that the risk has on revenues will altogether affect the performance and market value of banks. Through a descriptive and explanatory research design, together with a series of tests, the researchers will use a regression model to analyze the significance and impact of the chosen independent variables to market value per share of banks.
