What is the company’s market value?Market Capitalization

Market value, English is Market Capitalization, Abbreviation Market Cap It is an important financial indicator for measuring the operation scale of a company.The market value of listed companies is to calculate the total number of circulating shares of the company at the current stock price.That is to say, the market value of a listed company will continue to change with the change of the stock price or the number of circulating shares.

The initial market value of listed companies was determined when the initial public offering (IPO) was determined for the first time.Before the first public offering, the company hired a professional investment banker to valuation of the company’s value, and then based on this value based on this valueTo determine the number of stocks and stocks sold to the public.For example, the company’s valuation is 1 billion US dollars.When fundraising for the first time, it can offer a 10 million shares of stock price of $ 100, and it can also sell 50 million shares of $ 20.

Evaluating a company’s market value is usually of great significance for investors.The financial community will also divide companies of different scale according to the company’s market value.Divide listed companies into large-cap stocks ( L ARGE-CAP, MID-CAP, Small-CAP, and Micro-CAP.Different levelsInvestment will be based on its own investment style and based on the stock category divided by the company’s market value.

How to calculate the market value?

The market value of listed companies is the total number of shares of the company’s circulation shares and the stock price of the stock price, namely:

Market value = Circulation stocks X stock price

Market Cap = Shares Outstanding X Share Price

in:

  • The number of circulating shares is the current number of circulating shares that can be traded.The number of circulating shares can be found on the company’s 10-Q or 10-K financial reports, or it can also be found on major financial and securities websites.
  • The company’s stock price will continue to fluctuate during the transaction period.You can choose a real-time stock price or choose the final stock price before the market to calculate.

During the company’s business process, the number of circulating shares issued by the company and the fluctuations of the stock price will affect the company’s market value, but when the company conducts shares or splits, it will not affect the company’s market value.

Because when the company has a share division or split, the stock price will be adjusted accordingly due to the increase in the number of shares.For exampleIn the company’s market value calculation formula, the number of circulating shares doubles, and the stock price is halved, that is,:

New company market value = 2 x (the number of company original circulation shares) X ½ (company original stock price) = company original shares of the company

It can be seen that splitting or dividing stocks will not affect the company’s market value.

What is the significance of investment in market value?

The significance of market value is to measure the company’s current market value, because it is difficult for investors to judge the company’s investment value based on the stock price.

The two companies with the same stock price may have obvious value differences.For example, the stock price of the company A and the company B both is $ 40, the number of company A currently circulates 1,000,000 shares, and the number of company B current shares is 2,000,000 shares.The market value of the company A is $ 40,000,000, and the market value of company B is $ 80,000,000.Therefore, the market value of company B is twice that of the company A.Therefore, the product of the stock price and the number of circulating shares can be used to evaluate the investment value of a company.

According to the company’s market value, listed companies are divided into several main levels: large-cap stocks, medium-cap stocks, small-cap stocks and microcrolered stocks.
