Incomes and Share Prices for Mining Companies in the Context of Raw Materials Prices

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of the relationship between the prices of shares and generated income for the mining companies on the example of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and foreign company Rio Tinto. The paper consists of four parts. The first chapter is an introduction to this development, in which the purpose of the paper is described. The second part presents selected mining companies, and the correlations between prices of shares, incomes and prices of raw materials on the international markets (in the case of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. the course of USD was taken into account). In the third part it was decided to conduct a multiple regression analysis (analysis of the progressive step regression) in order to determine the impact of each variable, firstly on share prices and secondly on incomes of selected mining companies. The last part is a summary of the analysis. The whole paper was concluded and a list of used literature listed.
