Question: is stock price the same as share price

Answer: Yes, Many U.S.-based companies seek to keep their share price (also called stock price) low, partly based on ``round lot'' trading (multiples of 100 shares). A corporation can adjust its stock price by a stock split, substituting a quantity of shares at one price for a different number of shares at an adjusted price where the value of shares x price remains equivalent. (For example, 500 shares at $32 may become 1000 shares at $16.) Many major firms like to keep their price in the $25 to $75 price range.
