How is the stock price determined? In this video, we'll explain how the stock price is calculated in simple terms and take you through the logic behind how everything works. This is perfect for stock market beginners who want to learn investing. People will tell you that the stock price is determined by market supply and demand, but that's really vague. For example, what's guiding how much people supply and demand for a particular stock? The truth is, it really comes down to the intrinsic value.
Let's establish what the stock price is. The headline stock price we see quoted in the stock market is the price at which the latest stock transaction occurred. It's not the price at which you can buy the stock but the price at which the last trade happened.
Buyers of a stock determine how much they're willing to pay for a stock by calculating the intrinsic value of the stock. Likewise, sellers will do a similar exercise to determine the price at which they would sell. And when both the buyer and seller agree to a price, they make a trade and the stock price changes to reflect this latest price.
Therefore, intrinsic value is the guiding force of the stock price.

Hey guys! Do you now understand how the stock price is determined? I hope so. If not, tell me where you're stuck and I'll try to clarify things for you.

Here's a great question I'd love to see some thoughts on, "Priced in." Ok, how? Why can't I find information explaining how news or uncertainty has been priced in? Do a buyer and a seller agree on the "priced in?" A price is never set by just one party, it takes two, does "priced in" mean "ignored." It was priced in they say, ok, how, what happened, where can i see this?

@IndefiniteMark 3 жыл бұрын

So from what just happened with GME, was the increase in share price due to the surge of buyers and the shorted stocks being settled at the higher price? And then the marketplace restricted public buys on platforms internationally. During this time hedge-funds continued selling between each over really fast on the exchange, stepping down the price gradually as it averaged against incoming public purchases? I’m a noob just interested what caused that particular price to change.

I've been really, really struggling trying to understand exactly why profitability or potential profitability of a company should have any affect on the stock price in the first place. How are the two tied? For example, when everyone pushed to buy Zoom stocks and ended up accidentally buying stocks from the wrong company it essentially had the same effect as though they just bought stocks in Zoom, right? I mean if this was never resolved and the investors still believed they invested in Zoom, I can't see how that's any different to the shareholders (aside from of course the company Zoom itself). It seems rather arbitrary whether or not a company is doing good and only matters on what investors believe other investors will invest in a company which is just circular logic. Everyone could just agree to invest in failing companies and not in successful ones. The way I currently understand it, this should have the same impact on investors...

@zerwif 4 жыл бұрын

If each of those 1,000 shareholders had 1 share of stock which was worth $1, doesn't it logically make sense that when the company's profits made the company now worth $2,000 - each of those 1,000 shares of stock in that company is now worth $2?

Hi Lets say i buy 10 k shares of a company, each worth 10 dollars and are 1 % of the entire company. What happens if the price of the shares go down to lets say 6 dollars each. Am i still getting my 1 % payout from the company profit every year? Another question.. Are the prices for shareholdings completely dependent on how people think the company is gonna perform or is it all about how it actually performs? And lastly can the total amount of shareholdings change in a company and if so does my percentage go down?

@Lumovest 5 жыл бұрын

Great questions. Yes, if you own 1% of the company and the stock price drops, you still get your 1% payout from the company profits every year. The prices are dependent on both how people think it'll perform and how it actually performs. Their expectations of how it'll perform is usually measured by "Wall Street Consensus" or "Analyst Expectations" in terms of how much Revenue, EBITDA, Net Income, EPS the company will earn in the future. Then when the company actually reports their actual performance, stock price will definitely react. So say the actual performance is below expectations. Usually the price will drop. Likewise, if the actual performance exceeded expectations, stock price will jump. Yes, the total amount of shares outstanding can change in a company. But usually the value of the company changes as well so even though your percentage ownership goes down, the value you own might "theoretically" be the same.

@@tomsvensson78 It depends who's making the decisions at the company. If management is running the company, then management will decide the total amount of shares. If the shareholders are running it, then the shareholders will decide. Many public companies at their original incorporation were pretty small and run by their founder / owners. So they were the ones who made the decision.

Maybe your videos didn’t show up in search in the past, but only now KZfaq found it. Financial Education’s KZfaq channel does very well, probably because he gives a reason for viewers to come back. He helps viewers with their problems, makes stock portfolios for them, and shares his viewpoints and opinions which apparently are popular. I’m not saying you should copy him, but maybe try to retain your viewership? I’m new to investment, and I learned that when deciding on an investment, one needs to see first, whether many people use their product, and second, whether people keep coming back and back. I could have improved on this. This is my honest two cents.

Awesome video! Loved the explanation on intrinsic value. Quick question: if the strike price is directly affected by supply and demand, and typically a huge ‘selloff’ would result in lower and lower prices (like the beginning of COVID-19), why doesn’t an overwhelming demand to buy influence the price upwards? I have been looking at the buy/sell “level II” market data, and I can see a general huge demand of buy orders recently, with very little quantities priced to sell to meet the demand, yet the strike prices continue to remain stagnant or fall. Thank you!

I think I understand. At 8:42, I can translate that directly to when im trying to buy stock from a brokerage when there's different types of orders (market, limit). My decision on a specific stock then gets calculated along with many other people's decision for that same stock and you end up certain transactions going through and certain ones not happening.
