What makes a stock move up faster than another?

Answer 1

it's a matter of fact that how often that stock is sold & buyyed in the market , suppose i buyyed it for $10, than certainly some news regarding the expansion or acquisition etc., by the company leads some investors to buy those share from the market than it will lead to increase in it's value ,as in short it depends upon the no. of bidding offered ,while in reverse case the no. of stock offered for selling leads to it's value depletion ,.

so Dear keep eyes & ears wide open to here & watch news regarding the stock holding company.positive news = positive value; negative news = negative value

Answer 2

"expectations of future earnings" is the most simple and correct answer.

after all, a stock is priced on it's earnings potential.

Remember the dotcom boom, well, that happened because everyone went crazy about these new companies and potential future earnings.

That answer about earnings per share (EPS) above me is completely inaccurate. The higher the EPS the better.

Answer 3

Expansion News, Orders, sector news, local and countryeide economy factors, latest deals, its AGMs, its quarterly,yearly reports and other insider news and activities.....

Answer 4

A stock is bid upon by purchasers. If somebody purchases a share for 10.00$ more than its worth and someone sells it for 10.00$ more than its worth and there the only ones in the market for it a match will be made and the stock sold and purchased. Since it would be purchased than more then it is worth it will go up a tiny bit. When you look up share prices you will mostlly see the last purchased for amount. EPS means earnings per share. The formula is amount of shares divided by profit divided by cost of shares. If people just bid up a share to a huge amount and the company isnt making money to back the share price the EPS will be high and that is a bad thing. A low EPS is good. So when purchasing a share you want the EPS to be low because that means the company is profitable. A companies share value will raise if it is making money but if it skyrockets check the EPS and it will most likely be ridiculously high. Not bad for a 13 year old eh

Answer 5

People think other people will want it, so they buy it.  The buying makes it go up.  Other people see it going up and think other people will want to buy it because it's going up, so they buy it and it goes up mare.  This is called "momentum".

It also works in reverse.
