Day's Range
Term category: Stocks
In 10 words or less:  The range in which a stock traded during the day.

Definition: The day's range is simply the range in which the company's stock traded. For example, a day's range that reads "48.50-51.25" means that the lowest price the stock reached that day was $48.50/share and the highest price was $51.25.

StockJargon Advice: The day's range doesn't really tell you all that much about the stock. But if you notice that the day's range of a stock often has a large spread, it means the stock is more volatile.
