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.
