Previous researches suggest that the financial reporting readability by increasing the transparency and information disclosure quality and reducing yield fluctuations leads to a decrease in stock price synchronicity. On the other hand, business strategy may also affect stock prices by influencing the amount and type of firm information. Therefore, the study has investigated the effect of business strategy on the relationship between the financial reporting readability and the stock prices synchronicity in the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this research, Bentley et al. (2013) model was used to measure the business strategy and two indicators of Fog and text length were used to measure the financial reporting readability. The statistical sample of the research consists of 108 firms during the period of 2015 to 2021, and the test of research hypotheses has been done using multivariate regression with a pooled data. Based on the findings of the research, the financial reporting readability with the two indicators of Fog and text length has a negative and significant effect on the stock prices synchronicity. Also, the results indicate that the business strategy has a negative and significant effect on the relationship between the financial reporting readability and the stock prices synchronicity.
