4. Why do stock prices fluctuate?

In the previous video, we understood the lifecycle of a company from the moment it starts to its IPO. So once a company IPO's and lists on NSE & BSE, the stock will be traded in the secondary markets. So the price will move up and down daily based on various factors. In this video, we look why do stock prices fluctuate and the factors that influence stock prices.

There has been considerable discussion regarding a October rally and the potential for certain stocks to experience substantial growth during this season. Unfortunately, I don't have specific information on which stocks might be involved. However, I recently sold my home in the Boca Grande area and are considering investing a lump sum in the stock market before any potential rebound. It is challenging to determine whether this is an opportune time to buy, as market conditions can be unpredictable.

In the first scenario, why would the someone sell the stock knowing that the company is making profit and even if he wants to sell, wouldn’t he sell at a price above the current price of the stock?

Does sto k price only change due to demand and supply?... Please clarify if fundamentals of stock is very good but people don't trade in that stock but company make money in its business annually. In this case stock price doesn't appreciate? Company growth doesn't matter for stock price?
