How can you track the value of stocks? Stock quotes are used to track how stocks are performing in the market.

Stocks, Stocks, Stocks Stock quotes are organized in stock tables which can be found in newspapers and Internet sites. Yahoo! MSN Google

Reading Stock Quotes

Columns 1 & 2 52-Week High and Low – The highest and lowest prices the stock traded over the previous 52 weeks (one year) and typically does not include the previous day’s trading.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 3 Company Name & Type of Stock – The name of the company. If no special symbol or letter follows the name, it is common stock. Different symbols indicate different classes of shares (i.e., “pf” means preferred stock).

Reading Stock Quotes Column 4 Ticker Symbol – The unique alphabetic name which identifies the stock. When looking for stock quotes online, you search for a company by the ticker symbol.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 5 Dividend Per Share – The estimate of the anticipated yearly dividend per share in dollars and cents. If this space is blank, the company does not currently pay out dividends.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 6 Price/Earnings Ratio – Shows the relationship between a stock’s price and the company’s earnings for the last four quarters. Calculated by dividing the current price per share by the earnings per share.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 7 Year-to-Date Percentage Change – Reports gain or loss in each stock’s price as a percentage of its price on January 1.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 8 Trading Volume – The total number of shares traded for the day (in hundreds). Add two zeros to the end of the number listed to get the actual number traded.

Reading Stock Quotes Columns 9 & 10 Day High and Low – The price range at which the stock has traded throughout the day. These are the maximum and the minimum prices that people have paid for the stock.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 11 Close – The last trading price recorded when the market closed on the day. If the closing price is up or down more than 5% than the previous day, the entire listing for that stock is bold-faced.

Reading Stock Quotes Column 12 Net Change – The change in the stock price from the previous day’s closing price in dollars. When the net change is positive, it is recorded as being “up for the day.”

Not all sources display stock quotes the same way.
