What is the value of a stock?

Updated: Dec 29, 2020

The current price of a stock is decided by the market, it is the price at which sellers and buyers are ready to trade. But what is the underlying value?


A stock gives you ownership of a slice of a company, every share has an amount of income or loss that is allocated per share which is called Earnings Per Share, management who is voted in by the stockholders, will usually decide how much of that profit should stay in the company and how much should be distributed as a Dividend.



The basic value of a stock is the present value of all the future dividends, however many investors will look more at the Earnings Per Share which relates to future potential dividends than current dividends.


The price of a share divided by its earnings is called the P/E Ratio, the S&P has historically traded at around 15 times earnings and is trading now at around 30 times earnings.


The current high P/E ratio in the market may reflect optimism about future income, very low yields on other assets like bonds, speculation or some combination of these factors.

That’s an interesting question! The value of a stock often depends on market performance, demand, and the company’s overall growth strategy. Similarly, the value of a business online depends on its digital visibility and branding. Partnering with the Best Digital Marketing Agency in Rajasthan can significantly increase that value by driving traffic, generating leads, and improving brand reputation.

With cricket, football, and card games, it offers plenty of variety, but the “daily” factor is what really makes it addictive.
