A stock's par value is the monetary amount assigned to the share of stock.
The basic meaning of par stock is the amount of stock a business or individual should keep on hand at all times. If your stock amount falls below this par, you should purchase more to keep it at that number.
Par is the value stated on the stock certificate as stated in the articles of incorporation and is many times $.01 or $1.00.

Par value stock

Shares of stock that are issued at a value in excess of a company's actual assets are known as watered stock. The term arose many decades ago when a par value was assigned to shares of stock by the board of directors. The par value was correlated by many investors to the actual asset value per share of a company since companies could not sell additional stock below the stated or par value. Dishonest stock promoters would deceptively assign a high par value in order to sell overvalued or watered shares to investors. Due to investor confusion and misuse by shady stock issuers legislation was passed to allow stock to be issued at no par value. Once used as a metric of stock valuation, the term par value has little meaning for present day investors.
Par value has no real connection to the worth of common stock. For example, when Starbucks went public, its shares of stock was $0.001 par, but opened at $17 and closed in the same day at $21.50; so if there were 2,500 shares sold at opening, it worth 2,500 x $17 = $42,500, but this has no connection to par value. Assuming the 2,500 shares of common stock sold at par value and the earnings was $100,000.00; the par value would be $100,000 / 2,500 = $40.00
