Névértékének

Névértékének is a Hungarian term that translates to "nominal value" or "face value" in English. It is commonly used in financial contexts to refer to the stated or printed value of a security, such as a bond or stock, at the time of its issuance. This value is distinct from the market value, which fluctuates based on supply and demand. For bonds, the névértékének represents the amount that will be repaid to the bondholder at maturity. For stocks, it is often a nominal amount, like 100 Hungarian Forint, and does not directly correlate with the stock's market price. The névértékének is important for calculating interest payments on bonds, as these are typically a percentage of the névértékének. In some cases, especially with older or less actively traded securities, the névértékének might be the only readily available valuation figure. Understanding the distinction between névértékének and market value is crucial for investors to accurately assess the worth and potential returns of their investments.
