The research adopted the inductive approach. The modern statistical programs (Eviews12, Stata15) were used to analyze the quantitative data and to analyze the channels of transmission of monetary policy on Baghdad Soft Drinks Company's stock prices. The SEM model and path analysis were used. Results showed that there is a significant effect rate of inflation, interest rate, and money supply on Baghdad Soft Drinks Company's stock prices, while there was no significant effect of exchange rate.
