Peruvian stocks

Stocks are fungible financial instruments that represent ownership in a company. Shareholders are entitled to a proportional share of the company's assets and profits according to the number of shares they hold.

While specific trading strategies can be diverse, most traders focus on two basic ways to get returns from stocks.
- Dividends: When a company performs well, it may distribute a portion of its profits to shareholders in the form of dividends
- Capital gains: Shareholders can benefit from market fluctuations and make profit by selling their stocks at a higher price than they paid when buying them

Watch our Dividend Calendar and Stock Heatmap to master both.

Dividend stocks are shares in companies that regularly pay out a portion of their earnings to shareholders. Payments are usually made quarterly, but can also be monthly, semi-annual, or annual. Dividends are one of the key ways to earn income from stocks.

Earnings per share (EPS) is a key measure of a company's profitability, showing how much profit is earned for each outstanding share. It's one of the most widely watched metrics in financial reports and is calculated by dividing net earnings by the number of shares.

On TradingView, you can explore EPS data with easy-to-understand visuals — like this chart of Apple Inc. earnings.

Beta is a measure of the risk associated with a stock, indicating how much it tends to move in relation to the overall market. It's typically compared to a benchmark like the S&P 500, which has a beta of 1.0. Stocks with a beta above 1.0 are considered more volatile than the market.

Explore our list of high-beta stocks — often favored by risk-tolerant investors seeking bold opportunities.

A stock split occurs when a company increases its number of outstanding shares without changing its overall market value. This move is typically made to improve share liquidity and make the stock more affordable to investors.

For example, in August 2022, Tesla executed a 3-for-1 stock split, giving shareholders three shares for every one they previously held.

Volume is the total number of shares traded during a specific time period. Traders watch it closely — high volume stocks often mean greater liquidity and stronger market activity. In technical analysis, volume is key for assessing the strength behind price movements.

But trading isn't limited to these hours. Pre-market sessions can start as early as 04:00, while after-hours trading typically runs until 20:00, depending on your broker.

With TradingView, you can monitor stocks beyond regular hours. Check out our pre-market gainers or after-hours losers to build smarter strategies ahead of the bell.

A stock market is a platform where companies sell their shares of equity to raise capital, and investors buy them to gain voting rights or potentially profit from capital gains and dividends. Stock markets also facilitate the trading of existing shares, which allows individuals and institutions to speculate on company performance.

Besides helping companies to raise funds and investors — to profit from market movements, stock markets also play a key role in price discovery: the collective actions of buyers and sellers determine the value of companies. Additionally, stock markets promote corporate transparency by requiring public companies to meet regulatory standards and disclose financial information. As an economic indicator, stock market performance reflects investor sentiment and broader economic conditions.
