The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent earning per share, net income, dividends and sharia compliance affects the stock market volatility in Malaysia. A sample of 53 firms has been selected from FBM KLCI for the period of 2014 when the oil price decline over 55% and leads to lower share prices.
