Ex Post Facto design and time series data were used for the purpose of this research. This study made use of ten selected deposit money banks quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The study covered eight years annual reports and accounts of these deposit money banks. The data collected for the study were tested using Regression analysis and Chow test statistical and revealed that book value per share and earnings per share are value relevant in determining share price of deposit money banks in Nigeria after the adoption of IFRS.
