This article describes where you can find free real-time quotes on the Yahoo! Finance pages. In addition, it describes our data source and what hours the quotes are available.

Yahoo! Finance provides free real-time data under the company name on its stock quote page, on the real-time page and on the real-time views for portfolios/multi-quote pages. This data is provided by BATS Exchange, which matches buy and sell stock orders on that particular exchange.

Real-time data is available during market hours (9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern time) and for the pre-market session (8:00 am to 9:30 am Eastern time).

Note: BATS Exchange data does not necessarily represent the best bid or ask prices in the marketplace because there are additional exchanges that are used to process trades. For this reason, you may find minor discrepancies when comparing with the quotes on other sites or with brokerages.

To access the most comprehensive set of real-time quotes, please subscribe to our premium service of Yahoo! Real-Time Quotes, which consists of Level 1 data direct from the major U.S. exchanges. For a modest monthly fee, you will get up-to-the-second comprehensive quotes, bid/ask prices, and relevant news headlines immediately on all Yahoo! Finance pages and My Yahoo!. Yahoo! Real-Time Quotes is only available in the US.
