What is the Average Volume (3M) in Yahoo Finance?

The "Average Volume (3M)" on Yahoo Finance refers to the average number of shares traded per day over the last 3 months (approximately 60 trading days).

What It Means:

  • Volume: How many shares are traded in a day
  • Average Volume (3M): The average daily volume over the last 3 months

Why It Matters:

  • A higher average volume often means better liquidity and strong investor interest
  • A lower average volume can suggest less market activity and higher trading costs

Example:

If a stock shows:
Average Volume (3M): 5,200,000
It means that an average of 5.2 million shares per day were traded over the last 3 months.
