How Is the Price of a Stock Determined? [duplicate]
The market price of a stock is based on nothing at all more than what two parties were last willing to transact for it. The stock has a "bid" and an "ask" each is the value placed by a counterparty. For the sale to occur, one party must meet the other. The stock transacts and that is the price. For a stock to "go up" people must be willing to pay more for it. Likewise, for it to "go down" people must be willing to accept less for it.
