This study aims to investigate the impact of accounting indicators which are the return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share in addition to growth which is measured by sustainable growth rate on the market value which is measured by market share price, stock return and by market value to book value. By the application on the Jordanian Banks from 2002 to 2011, by using the simple regression test, and by using the least squares method, it was clear that all current accounting indicators and the current growth have a positive impact on the market share price and the market value to book value, and there is no effect of the current accounting indicators and the current growth on the stock market return. It also clear that there is a positive impact of future accounting indicators and the future growth on the market value depending on all of market value measurements, and that the best explanatory accounting indicators for the changes in the market value of the Jordanian banks is earnings per share.
