How To Interpret Share Prices?

Personal Finance & Money Asked by nickson104 on July 9, 2021

During conversation shares in Google came up as a topic. Out of interest I Googled the share price for Google and was presented the following:

Google Inc. (GOOG) -NasdaqGS

523.40

My question is how to interpret this?

Does this translate as £/$ 523 per share, or some other unit of measurement? The raw number, without the right knowledge, allows for comparison but not a real interpretation of the values.

One Answer

The missing information is at the end of the first line: the price is from NASDAQ (most specifically Nasdaq Global Select), which is a stock exchange in the USA, so the price is in US Dollars.
