Definition of Bid Price



Bidding is normally used as a way of expressing the highest buying price that a buyer is willing to pay for buying a stock, or asset. You must have heard about the auctions of the assets of the defaulter in case a bank loan defaults. The assets of the defaulter are then sold to the highest bidders that are present at the auction.

 


The parties or buyers present at the auctions place bids until one of them is finalized and the asset is sold to that bidder. Bidding also takes place in case of mergers and takeovers by companies. A target company may receive a bid price from a potential buyer or acquiring company.
