Appreciation Law & Legal Definition
Appreciation has different meanings, but in a financial context, it refers to an increase in the value of property. It is used to distinguish between investments that are likely to provide profits because of increases in price and those that provide dividend payments.
For example, a stock purchased for $10 per share in 1990 and sold for $15 per share in 2000 has appreciated 50%.
