Stock Price Column<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>\u201cStock Price\u201d<\/strong> column shows the price range for a PSE-listed stock. Based on current price, it points you to the row where you can find both the allowed price fluctuation (called the<em> \u201ctick size\u201d<\/em>) and the minimum tradable shares (called the<em> \u201cboard lot\u201d<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>So for a stock trading at P3.00 per share, refer to Row E (P0.50-P4.99) to find the relevant tick size and board lot.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Fluctuations_in_Price_Tick_Size_column\"\/><strong>2.

Row E, for instance, applies to stocks priced between P0.50 and P4.99 and limits price changes to P0.010 increments.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a stock trading at P5,100.00 can only move in increments of P5.00 (as indicated in Row O). This means the stock can trade at P5,105.00, P5,345.00, or P4,855.00\u2014since these values are divisible by P5.00. However, it cannot trade at P5,103.00, P5,501.25, or P6,557.00, as these figures are not divisible by the required tick size of P5.00.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Board_Lot_Lot_Size_column\"\/><strong>3. Board Lot (Lot Size) column<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, the<strong> \u201cBoard Lot\u201d or \u201cLot Size\u201d <\/strong>shows the minimum number of shares you can trade based on a stock\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Row E specifies that stocks within this price range must have a board lot of 1,000 shares. This means you\u2019re allowed to trade in multiples of 1,000, i.e., buy or sell 2,000 shares, 5,000 shares, or even 30,000 shares of such stock.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see a clearer application of the Board Lot Table in the following examples.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%9COdd_Lot%E2%80%9D_Market\"\/><strong>The \u201cOdd Lot\u201d Market<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Note: Take note that the Board Lot Table only applies to<strong> \u201cNormal Lot\u201d<\/strong> trades in the PSE, which differ from trades in the<strong> \u201cOdd Lot\u201d<\/strong> market. An odd lot refers to a number of shares less than the standard trading unit as identified in the Board Lot Table. We\u2019ll discuss odd lots in a separate article.<\/p>\n<p>For now, pop quiz! <em>What\u2019s the board lot for a stock trading at P2.00 per share?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Refer to the Board Lot Table to answer the question. Continue reading if you want to know the answer already.)<\/p>\n<p>This falls under Row E in the Board Lot Table, which indicates that the minimum lot size is 1,000. Any quantity of shares that is not a multiple of 1,000 is considered an <strong>odd lot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the sample Odd Lot order below for Megaworld Corporation (MEG), both the Bid Volume (Bid Vol) and Ask Volume (Ask Vol) are in quantities not divisible by 1,000, such as 250, 900, 999, and 1,900.

The lot size is a minimum, so you can sell any number of shares as long as it is divisible by 5.<\/p>\n<p>Can you sell two (2) shares of GLO? No, not in the Normal Lot market.
