The Impact of Investment Strategies on Earnings Per Share and their Reflection in Maximizing the Value of the Bank: An Applied Study in a Number of Iraqi Banks Organized in the Iraqi Securities Market

Abstract

The study aims to examine the impact of investment strategies on earnings per share and their reflection in maximizing the value of the bank. It looks at how a bank decides to use its money and how it manages risk. It also explores how these decisions affect how well the bank performs and how much money they make. The study was conducted on a sample of Iraqi banks listed in the Iraqi financial market represented by ten banks. In order to achieve the objective of the research, the researcher used a set of statistical equations to study the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variables. It reached a set of recommendations, the most important of which is that the Iraqi banks of the study sample need to develop plans to earn money commensurate with their objectives, the extent of risk they feel comfortable with, and how to compare them with other banks. These plans should focus on making money, saving money, managing risk, and owning a variety of different investments to make their bank as successful as possible by diversifying their investments.
