Relevant value is important for information users to make business decisions, and stock prices have an essential relationship to the value relevance about enterprises. The paper aims to investigate the earnings and book value influences on the value relevance of 144 Vietnamese listed enterprises. Selected data are non-financial enterprises with a wide range of industries to ensure representativeness on the Vietnamese stock market. The research implements stakeholder and signaling theory to explain the hypotheses of the model related to earnings per share and book value per share. Time series data are analyzed for three years from 2018 to 2020. The quantitative method is applied to test hypotheses. The results determine that the fixed effects model is suitable. The results also show that the earnings per share positively affect the stock price, but book value per share has a negative impact on the stock price. The paper provides some policy suggestions for investors to make reasonable decisions using relevant information about listed enterprises in Vietnam.
