How do I find how much a certain stock is selling for at the end of the day.?

Question

I used to check the price of a stock in the paper, but they do not publish mine anymore.

Answer 1

It's simple!

Go to Yahoo finance (http://finance.yahoo.com)

Type in your symbol of the stock you’re looking for


For historical quotes (in case you missed a day and want to go back.

From above, on the left, click on historical quotes.

Now, you can then type in the date range you want and choose daily/weekly/etc and download the data to excel or wherever.


Or if you prefer, you can go to this link instead. Just replace GOOG with the stock symbol that you’re looking for.

Here’s the link to NYSE index

*The adjusted price is the stock price adjusted for splits. So if a stock was at 100, and split 2 for 1 to 50, the adjusted price would show you the price as if the stock had always been at 50 so you can determine the real change in value of that stock over time.

Answer 2

Go to Yahoo Finance and type in the ticker of the stock you are looking for in the top of the screen.
