What Is Averaging Down in Stocks?
Stock investors employ the average down strategy to decrease the total price they paid for their shares. Stock investors purchase additional shares when the market value has decreased since their initial stock purchase. Stock price recovery becomes more likely because your reduced average share price exists from the initial purchase.
You can lower your total share cost when you purchase additional shares at $15 after the price dropped from $20 to $15 from your initial 100-share purchase. The Average Down Stock Calculator provides instant calculation of the math needed for investors to make well-informed decisions.

Why Average Down?
Investors average down for different reasons:
The strategy allows investors to decrease their break-even point during markets that decline.
Investors maintain their stock ownership because they predict the price will rise in the future.
The strategy helps investors decrease their average share price which boosts their profit potential when stock prices increase.
The process of averaging down carries associated risks. The stock market decline will result in additional financial losses for you. The calculator shows your adjusted average price before you make additional purchases which helps you avoid further risks.
