What Is Trading Value?

Trading value is the total monetary amount of trades completed during a given period (share price multiplied by trading volume).

Trading Value = Share Price × Trading Volume

What it measures

Trading value is calculated as share price multiplied by trading volume, and shows how much money moved through trading in a given stock. If a stock priced at 1,000 yen trades 100,000 shares, the trading value for that period is 100 million yen.

Difference from trading volume

Trading volume (see related page) measures the number of shares, while trading value measures the monetary amount. When comparing stocks with very different price levels, trading value can sometimes give a more realistic comparison than share-count-based trading volume.
