Glossary Background

At The Close Or Closing Price

The 'at the close' or 'closing price' refers to the last traded price of a security, such as stocks or ETFs, at the end of regular market hours. It represents the final price at which the asset is traded for that trading day. For example, if a stock is priced at Rs. 4,500 at 3:30 PM, the market's closing time, that is its closing price. Unlike the Adjusted Closing Price, the closing price does not factor in price changes due to corporate actions like dividends, stock splits, or rights issues. It simply reflects the final trade of the day.
