Market capitalization is the market value of all the shares of a publicly traded company. So this is the value
that stock market investors place on a company. Market capitalization is an easy way for investors to
determine the size of a business.
Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the total number of a company’s outstanding shares by its
current share price. For example, if ABC Company had six billion shares outstanding, each with a market
value of $200, its market capitalization would be $1200 billion.
