Hi Be11, Stock prices are defined by the market: what an seller and buyer agree is a fair price. This is based on future expectations of the way the stock price will move, which will include considerations about its yield - earnings per share - and its book value, but more important will be the expectations for the future profitability of the company. Example: a pharmaceutical company that has not be very profitable in recent years but suddenly can announce that it has approval to market a medication that is 100% effective against HIV. Past yield and book value would then be of minimal consideration. "Cheap" is relative. The "price-earnings" relationship (share price/dividend per share) is used to compare stock prices within an industry. This can/will result in some stocks' being considered "cheap", but that is disregarding knowledgeable of future developments. |
