Market Price Per Share is the current trading price of one share of a company's common stock on a public stock exchange. It reflects the consensus value the market places on the company per share at a specific moment, based on supply and demand. Market Price Per Share is used as the numerator in the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, the Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio, the Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio, and Dividend Yield. Multiplied by shares outstanding, it equals Market Capitalization.
