Ticker symbol

Every listed company has a short ticker, like CRDB or NMB. It's a quick way to identify a stock without typing the full company name.

Price

The last traded price per share. This is what one share currently costs to buy or would fetch to sell — it changes throughout the trading session as new trades happen.

Volume

The number of shares that changed hands in a given period (often a day). High volume can mean strong interest in a stock — good or bad — while very low volume can mean a stock is thinly traded, which may make it harder to buy or sell large amounts without moving the price.

Day's change

Usually shown as an amount and a percentage, this tells you how much the price has moved since the previous close. A green/positive figure means the price rose; red/negative means it fell.

52-week range

Many quote displays show the highest and lowest price over the past year, giving you a sense of how volatile the stock has been and where the current price sits within that range.

Putting it together

None of these numbers alone tells you whether a stock is a "good buy" — they're just descriptive. Understanding a company's business and financial health (covered in later lessons) matters more than any single number on a quote screen.
