You can check the value of stocks share online, in apps on your phone etc… But what is that value really? And how do we know on real time how the value has changed.
For example, if a company increases profits its value in the stocks will increase, but what is recording the incomes of the company? Is it connected to a similar system that the bank uses to store money? Is it similar to an internet network?

Stock quotes are literally the last trade of shares, where a buyer and seller agreed to trade at that price. While things like corporate profits and overall economic conditions affect value perception, the price in quotes is just the last actual transaction.
