Summary
Unchanged refers to shares whose price remained the same during the trading session. These securities did not record a price increase or decrease compared with their previous closing price.
This figure helps investors understand how much of the market experienced little or no price movement.
Why it matters
A high number of unchanged shares may suggest a quiet trading session, limited market activity, or balanced buying and selling interest. In smaller or less liquid markets, unchanged prices can also reflect limited trading rather than a lack of investor interest.
This metric provides useful context when interpreting market breadth.
How to read it
If many shares are unchanged while trading volume is low, the market may simply have been inactive. If many shares are unchanged while trading volume is high, it may suggest that buyers and sellers were relatively balanced.
Unchanged shares should always be reviewed alongside trading activity and price movement in the wider market.
