The answer to this question is "you gained profit". The amount of money you gain from selling the stocks now is higher compared to the amount you spent a year ago. The amount you gain from the shares is ($62.25) x 723 = $45006.75. The amount you spent last year is ($47.75) x 723 = $34523.25. The difference between the values is $10483.47. Thus, you gained $10483.47.
