How to read a share price
A share price is just a number on a screen. Here's what it does — and doesn't — tell you.
It's the price of one slice
A share price is simply what one single share of a company costs to buy right now. A ₹3,000 share isn't 'expensive' and a ₹50 share isn't 'cheap' on its own — it depends on what the whole company is worth and earns.
Why it moves
The price changes constantly because buyers and sellers keep re-guessing how the company will do. More buyers than sellers nudges it up; the reverse nudges it down. Day-to-day moves are mostly noise.
What it doesn't tell you
The price alone says nothing about whether a company is healthy or fairly valued. That's exactly what Zenoor's plain-English breakdown of each company is for.
