Why Prices Move

A share is worth what someone will pay

A company announces record profits, and its stock drops anyway. How can good news make a price fall?

You'll find out

  • Who really sets a share's price
  • Why good news can sink a stock
  • How often a price changes

Why it matters

Prices jump around every second. Knowing what moves them keeps a red day from feeling like a mystery or a verdict.
