The Impact of Big Data on the Nexus between Financial Leverage and Stock Price Prediction

This research explores the impact of financial leverage on stock price prediction among listed industrial Jordanian companies. Moreover, the effect of big data as a moderating variable on the relationship between financial leverage and stock price prediction. The study uses two types to measure financial leverage according to the terms [short-term and long-term]. The study results point out that only short-term leverage influences stock price prediction among listed industrial Jordanian companies, which it maybe because short-term leverage has a direct impact on a firm situation compared with long-team leverage that resorts it to achieve long-term goals. Furthermore, the findings provide an original contribution by asserting that big data plays a main moderating role when making decisions regarding investment, where it helps in expecting stock prices in companies with financial leverage.
