Listing (in the stock tables of the newspapers) of representative bid prices and asked prices for a specific stock traded on a specific exchange during a particular trading day. Stock prices are quoted in percentage points and in increments of 1/8 ths of a point. In the US, each point equals one dollar.
Stock Quote also means the highest price a potential buyer is willing to pay for a stock and the lowest price a potential seller is willing to receive. This is similar to the bid-ask spread, but the stock quote refers to the prices themselves, rather than the difference between them.
A stock market is a public market for the trading of company stock and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
