What makes a share price go up or down?
Share prices fluctuate, so there is always an element of risk owning shares in any company. They can go up or down in value depending on various factors including the external market environment or simply because of supply and demand:
- If more people want to buy a stock (demand) than sell it (supply), then the price moves up.
- If more people want to sell a stock than buy it, there’s greater supply than demand, and the price falls.
It’s not just about the actual value of a company’s assets or current performance, it’s also influenced by what investors expect the business to do in the future. If they feel the company will do well, the share price may rise and if there is negative sentiment towards the company’s future prospects, the price may fall. A number of factors that influence our share price are not within Aristocrat’s control.
What can impact the share price?
Company performance
- a company’s earnings or profits are a key factor
- if a company’s results are good, its share price may increase
- if the results are bad, the share price is likely to fall
Economic environment
- in good economic conditions, investors tend to feel confident and so the demand for shares is likely to go up, and prices rise
- in a difficult economic climate, investors feel nervous and are more likely to sell, sending share prices down
- anything can affect share prices – from inflation, to changes in government, currency value, good and bad harvests or civil unrest.
What is the risk associated with joining?
Before you join SuperShare, you should be clear that the value of shares can go down as well as up and the value of your shares when you sell them may be more or less than the price you originally paid for them. The value will depend on the Stock Market price at the time of sale.
Before you join SuperShare it’s a good idea to ask yourself a few questions:
- What’s my attitude to risk? Am I very cautious – if so saving might be a better choice – or am I more adventurous and looking to make a profit?
- Am I willing to risk losing some of the money I invest if share prices fall, for the potential of making some money if they rise?
- Can I afford to tie up my money for two years, so I get my all my shares and make the most of my investment?
- And don’t forget, you’ll get one free share for every 2 shares you buy, which helps to reduce the risk to your investment.
Where can I see Aristocrat’s share price?
Aristocrat shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). You can see our live share price in the top right corner of this site.
Am I eligible for dividends if declared payable?
As a shareholder, you’ll also be entitled to receive any dividends that may be declared. A dividend is a payment made to shareholders, which is usually a proportion of the company’s profits made in the previous period. Payments are made on a ‘cents per share’ basis. We don’t always pay dividends, so it’s not a guarantee. When we do, yours will be paid into your SuperShare by Morgan Stanley account on Shareworks. Login to enter your bank details and transfer the dividends to your own account.
You can check what dividends we’ve paid in the past on our investor relations site.
What happens to the funds from recent deductions if I opt out?
Once you’ve opted out, no further deductions will be taken. Any deductions already taken, above 500 AUD, will go toward the next purchase. Where the deductions are under 500 AUD these will be refunded back to you.

What happens if I leave Aristocrat?
If you leave Aristocrat, you will keep all the shares you’ve bought, along with any free matched shares vested and granted to you. Any free matched shares unvested and earmarked for you less than two years ago will be forfeited.What happens to the shares that I’ve already purchased?
Any shares you’ve already purchased are your assets and will remain yours. You can decide to sell them, transfer to your own preferred brokerage account, or leave them where they are.What about my free matched shares?
The free matched shares do not vest and become yours until two (2) years following the purchase. If you leave before the free matched shares vest, the rights lapse. i.e., if you bought two (2) shares in January 2022, one (1) free matched share would become yours in January 2024. If you leave Aristocrat before the free matched share vests in January 2024, you will not become the owner of that one share.Can I keep any free shares that have already vested?
Yes, if you have already seen a release and vesting of your matched shares these are now your assets and are treated the same as the shares you originally purchased.Can I continue to participate in SuperShare after I’ve left Aristocrat?
