Stock Indexes

Stock Index

Stock index, also known as an equity index, is a statistical measure that represents the performance of a specific group of publicly traded companies. It serves as a benchmark for evaluating the overall performance of a particular stock market or sector. A stock index is typically calculated using a weighted average of the prices of the constituent stocks, where the weight assigned to each stock is based on its market capitalization or other predetermined criteria. Investors and analysts use stock indices as a reference point to assess the performance of their investments and make informed decisions. Commonly followed stock indices include the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite, among others.
