The equity prices variation was measured as the log of current price index as a ratio of lagged price index of quoted small and medium scale enterprises. The empirical results generally reveal the adjusted R-squared (R2) value is 0.516450 that is 51.6 percent implying that the independent variables The F-statistic value is 5.599440 and its p-value is 0.000009 indicating that the independent variables jointly can impact significantly in equity puzzles of the quoted small and medium scale enterprises of the quoted enterprise firms. The Durbin-Watson reveals that there is no serial correlation in the variables.
