bid price
What buyers propose
The bid price is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for an asset at a given moment.
In financial markets, it's paired with the ask price—what sellers want—and the gap between them is the spread.
When you sell a stock, you typically receive the bid price; when you buy, you pay the ask.
The bid price dropped to $42.50.
