Price formation on stock market

For instance, a number of buyers and sellers naming a quantity of stock
shares in a given price and start to seek for trade, when each pair of
buyer and seller matches their price and shares, a deal is then
sucessced. My question is, how the price of a stock is decided from? Is
it from the latest trade of a stock deal?
