Paper Title
Impact of CSR on Stock Returns

Abstract
The impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the stock prices of 100 NSE-listed companies is investigated in this study. Previous research has found a considerable negative correlation between CSR and stock prices. This study will determine whether there is a positive, negative, or no association between the stock prices of 100 NSE-listed companies and CSR. The relationship between CSR and stock prices and financial performance is investigated using regression and correlation in this study. To examine the effect on financial performance that indirectly affects stock price, the stock price and PAT of listed businesses are used, and to measure CSR, the actual CSR money spent is used.The study's key contribution is to provide valid and compelling evidence of a link between CSR and stock price of publicly traded companies. This study will determine whether corporate social responsibility and stock price have a positive, negative, or zero link. This study aims to determine whether organisations are able to reap sufficient benefits from their CSR investments. Keywords - Corporate Social Responsibility, Profit After Tax, Financial Performance
