This "52-week high" is important to know, given that the most recent trading price is almost right in the middle of the 52-week range.

Market capitalization:  The total market capitalization is a snapshot of how much that company's value is pegged, given its stock price that day. It is a calculation of the current price (i.e., $24.22) times the number of shares outstanding (i.e., 5.52 billion, shown on the sidebar link, "Key Statistics"). This calculation yields a "market cap" or "market value" for INTC on that day of $133.80 billion.

P/E:  The "P/E ratio", calculated by taking the current share price (i.e., $24.22), divided by the EPS, or earnings per share, shown below that amount (i.e., $0.774). Therefore, $0.774 goes into $24.22  31.29 times, indicating that INTC currently, at that exact share price, has a P/E ratio of 31.29. This is important as it allows you to take a similar company, say Advanced Micro Devices (symbol = AMD), and make a more apples-to-apples comparison of their stock prices, and the potential value they represent to you when you compare them. If INTC has this P/E of 31.29, and then you see that AT&T's P/E is more double that at 65 (not true), you may quickly decide that INTC is underpriced compared to AMD and that you would buy stock in INTC over AMD.
