Can someone explain these terms to me?

Question

These are from a stock quote:

High
Low
Forward P/E (1 yr)
P/S (ttm)
Dividend Date
Ex-Dividend Date

Answer 1

As you mentioned, these are terms related to a stock quote.

Open - price the stock opens at for the day

High - High the stock traded at for the day

Low - low the stock traded at for the day

Close - Price that the stock closes at during regular trading hrs

Forward P/E - Stock price divided by projected earnings

Dividend date - I think you mean declaration date perhaps. If so, then it's the date that the dividend was declared

Ex-Dividend Date - date on which investors get paid their dividend

P/S - not quite sure on this
