Definition
The share price is the price you pay for one share (aka one unit of a company’s stock or ETF). A company’s share price can go up and down depending on many things, from the loss of key staff members to a company being the first to fly to space. To calculate the market cap (or total value) of a company, use this equation: Share price x number of shares = value of the company. Learn more about how share prices are calculated.
