What determines a stocks price?

I have heard from some people that it is as simple as supply and demand, that when more people are buying than selling it goes up, and when more people are selling than buying it does down. I have also heard that it is the price of the last trade.

If it is supply and demand does the amount of shares the person is buying or selling play into it or is it just per order?

If it is the price of the last trade why the fuck are people willing to buy for higher than the current price and why are they willing to sell for lower?

It depends on the exact thing youre talking about, some factors are more important than others.

For example the Farming industry Vs. Some mutual fund company.

The "intrinsic" value of the stock does to some degree have speculation and uncertainty, but im assuming you want to talk about shit like netflix and apple to get rich quick.

To determine that sort of shit read about "Security analysis", its a controversial subject, theres no one right answer

I am not talking about the psychological reason why people buy stocks. I am talking about how the price is literally determined by the stock market it is on.

There is a right answer, the fact that there is a stock price to begin with says there is an answer.
