Highs?
Could you tell me why 'highs' instead of 'high' is used in the sentence, "Tokyo stock prices are at fifteen-year highs?"
Because 'high' is also used in the sentence such as "Profits reached an all-time high last year," I do no know which one is right between 'highs' and 'high.'

In both examples, "high" is used as a countable noun. In the first one, "highs" is used presumably because we're talking about (many) stock prices .
