Prices are detemined by the overall value of the company, the number of shares, and the demand by investors. They can be a few cents per share or up to several thousand dollars per share.

The price of stocks is determined by the Demand and Supply theory. When there is a heavy demand for stocks and the supply is less then the prices go up. When there is a heavy supply of stocks and there is less demand then the prices go down.
