Stock Price

A stock price is the current market value of a single share of a company's ownership, determined by supply and demand in the stock market. When more investors want to buy a stock than sell it, the price tends to go up; when more want to sell than buy, it tends to go down. The stock price reflects investors’ perceptions of the company's future profitability and overall health. It fluctuates throughout trading hours based on news, economic indicators, and market sentiment, providing a real-time snapshot of how the market values that company's shares at any given moment.
