| Abstract: |
The article discusses factors which influence the price of stocks. Although net present value can be used for estimating the long-term intrinsic value of shares, it is often unreliable in predicting their price over the following few quarters. While chief executive officers are aware that when buyers are more anxious to buy than sellers are to sell, share prices rise, however understanding which buyers and sellers matter within the equation is difficult. Large trades can significantly move a company's stock price up or down. The author feels that companies should identify their stock price movers to increase their ability to make shareholder predictions. |
