Share price

The share price is the value of the share at a given moment. It is determined by the balance between demand and supply on stock markets' price of a share. There are different share prices quoted in the market. Bid/Sell is the price offered in the market to buy shares from an investor, also referred to as the selling price. Offer/Buy is the price offered in the market at which shares are offered to investors also referred to as the buying price. The mid-market price is calculated as the mid point between the bid and offer prices and is used to calculate the price related data.

Some investment companies securities trade on SETs. SETs trading service operates for the securities comprising the FTSE 100 index and the most liquid FTSE 250 securities. Securities which trade on SETs only have one official closing price; this price is used to calculate the price related data in the AIC Stats. See dealing spread.

Where a company has no official price, no price related data will be published.
