Equilibrium Price
Definition of Equilibrium Price
Equilibrium price is achieved when the demand is exactly equal to the supply. It is a state where buyers and sellers have enough goods and services to meet each other’s demands - not more, not less. One could say that equilibrium price is a perfectly balance state in the market.

Rally
A Rally describes a sustained upward movement in the price of a stock, index, or market over a short to medium term, often driven by positive news, strong earnings, or improved investor sentiment. It typically follows a period of decline or consolidation, reflecting renewed buying interest and momentum. Traders monitor rallies for entry points, but they can reverse if underlying fundamentals weaken or profit-taking occurs.
Bought Out Deal
A bought-out deal is a stock offering where an investment bank buys the entire issue of shares from a company. In turn, the investment bank will attempt to sell the shares to other investors. A deal of this kind has two benefits:
- The company need not worry about subscription as the investment bank will purchase the entire offering
-
The investment bank can negotiate with the company and get the shares at a discount
That said, there are risks to a bought out deal like:
- It is up to the investment bank to sell the shares to investors in order to recoup the principal or make a profit
- The investment bank also runs the risk of receiving no interest in the shares from other investors
- Guarantee purchase
If the issue size of the bought-out deal is large enough, the investment bank may team up with others to fulfil the purchase.
Pre-IPO
Pre-IPO (or Pre-Initial Public Offering) refers to the phase of a company where it raises capital by selling its shares to private investors (such as venture capitalists, private equity firms, or institutional investors) before officially going public with an IPO. These shares are bought at a discount to the expected IPO price. Investing in pre-IPO shares is for experienced investors because the shares are illiquid and have a high risk, but have the potential for high returns if the company performs well after listing.
Dividend Payout Ratio
The Dividend Payout Ratio refers to dividends paid to shareholders as a percentage of the net income or Earnings Per Share (EPS) of a company. The formula to calculate dividend payout ratio is:
DPR = Dividend / Net income
or
DPR = Dividend / Earnings Per Share
A higher dividend payout ratio means that a company is redistributing a chunk of its profits to shareholders, which generally implies that the company is well-established.

European Option
A European Option allows a trader to exercise the contract only on the day of expiry. For example, let’s say an options trader bought a European Call Option that expires on 01-01-2023.
The options trader can only exercise the call option, that is, buy the underlying assets on the day of expiry which is 01-01-2023. In India, traders can only engage in European options.

Annual Earnings Change
An Annual Earnings Change is the difference between a company’s earnings from the present and previous fiscal year. The formula for annual earnings change is:
Current Fiscal Year Earnings - Previous Fiscal Year Earnings
Say for example a liquid nitrogen manufacturing company earned Rs. 50 crores in the current fiscal year and Rs. 29 crores in the previous fiscal year. Their annual earnings change will be:
Rs. 50 crores - Rs. 29 crores = Rs. 21 crores.
Current Fiscal Year Earnings - Previous Fiscal Year Earnings
Say for example a liquid nitrogen manufacturing company earned Rs. 50 crores in the current fiscal year and Rs. 29 crores in the previous fiscal year. Their annual earnings change will be:
Rs. 50 crores - Rs. 29 crores = Rs. 21 crores.
