 By now, you've encountered a few different values for stock. So let's learn some of the terms in this short video. The stock market value is the price a person can buy or sell one share of stock. Market value varies with corporations net income, financial position, future prospects and general economic conditions. In almost all cases, stockholders are most concerned about the market value of the stock. Preferred stock that requires a company to redeem the stock at a set price is called redeemable preferred stock. The company is obligated to redeem the preferred stock. Therefore, redeemable preferred stock is really not stockholders' equity, instead it's a liability. The price the corporation agrees to pay for the stock, which is set when the stock is issued, is called the redemption value. Liquidation value is the amount a company must pay its preferred stockholders in the event the company liquidates and goes out of business. Finally, the book value per share of common stock is the amount of owner's equity on the company's books for each share of its stock. I've added my opinion to this that this is a totally worthless piece of information because book value could be so far from any real and reasonable value of a business.
