An additional test was conducted to determine the impact of the events of the January 2011 revolution on the underlying relationship; finally, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to test the effect of changing the date of stock price measurement on the previous relationship. The study found that there is a significant negative impact of Risk Management Disclosures on Stock Prices. As for the control variables, it was found that there was a significant negative effect of the size of the bank and the liquidity rate on the stock price, there was a significant positive effect of earnings per share, the number of branches of the bank and the size of the auditor's on the Stock price. .
