The answers are multiple reasons. One is that their sales projections are higher than the actual sales of their units. This was due to a very disappointing quarter in their Asia sales. Sales of Nokia Phones in China and India fell below expectation of the company. While they have a reputation of having phones with excellent reception, they have been very adamant about keeping their operating system until recently when they announced that they would have phone operating Windows Mobile. This has led to skeptism of their CEO. Coupled this with the low sales, share prices are reacting as it would any other company.

What are share prices?

When a business needs to raise cash, they arrange to sell shares of the business to individual people. There are regulations to be followed, but basically a share is a piece of ownership of the company. If you buy a share, you own that much of the company. The share price is what you have to pay for it. If a lot of people want the shares, and there aren't enough to go around, the price will go up. If people don't trust the company, they all try to sell their shares and the price of each share will go down.


Who determines a company's share price?

Actually nobody. The price of a company's share is determined by the demand and supply theory and not by any individual. During an IPO, the price is determined by the lead underwriters to the IPO issue. But once the stock gets listed, the demand and supply drives the price of the stock. If a stock has heavy demand and limited supply, the price of the stock goes up. Similarly if a stock has little demand and heavy supply, the price goes down.


Why do shareholders invest in companies?

People can buy shares (bits of the company) at a certain price per share. The money raised in this way is invested into the company.

That way they can sell their shares at that price which will be greater than when they bought them and make a profit.


Who buys shares that are going down in price?

It could potentially be anyone. When a share's price falls quickly, it is possible that a market maker in that stock is absorbing the supply to maintain a liquid market. This may occur when there are no institutional or retail buyers. Otherwise, a buyer may simply be finding more value in the share's price at a lower level. This buyer may be anyone with a brokerage account or access to an electronic communications network.
