Understanding Stock Quotes

Stock quotes, also known as market prices or ticker symbols, represent the current price of a stock on the stock exchange. They provide instant access to the value of a company's shares.

• A stock quote typically includes the stock symbol, current bid and ask prices, and other relevant information such as trading volume and market capitalization.
• Stock quotes can be traded on various exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, and London Stock Exchange.
