Stock prices best answer:
Answer by Patrick M
Many things can effect a stock price.
Earnings is the primary mover of a stock. If net income
(earnings) is rising at a good pace the stock should be rising also.
The future is big also. So a company has done well, will it continue to prosper and grow. If the answer is yes then that will help the stock go higher.
Amazon and Ebay released to the public their latest quarterly sales and profits. They were better than expected and their view of their future was also good. So the stocks have risen.
The direction of the economy is also a stock mover. If the economy is strong, earnings should stay strong and stocks should do well.
Earnings and the rate of growth of earnings are the top stock movers. The economy is not far behind.
