This research explores the impact of financial leverage on stock price prediction among listed industrial Jordanian companies. Moreover, the effect of big data as a moderating variable on the relationship between financial leverage and stock price prediction. The study uses two types to measure financial leverage according to the terms [short-term and long-term]. The study results point out that only short-term leverage influences stock price prediction among listed industrial Jordanian companies, which it maybe because short-term leverage has a direct impact on a firm situation compared with long-team leverage that resorts it to achieve long-term goals. Furthermore, the findings provide an original contribution by asserting that big data plays a main moderating role when making decisions regarding investment, where it helps in expecting stock prices in companies with financial leverage.
