Nominal Value

Nominal Value, also known as face value or par value, is the stated value of a financial instrument as printed on the certificate or specified in the contract. In bonds, it’s the amount to be repaid at maturity; in stocks, it’s the minimum price set at issuance. While nominal value rarely reflects market value, it’s important in accounting and corporate finance. Orion AI may factor nominal value into certain fundamental analyses when evaluating securities.
