Market Capitalisation of a Business
1st September 2015
Market capitalization (often shortened to market cap) is a measurement of the value of the voting ownership interest that shareholders hold in a business enterprise. It is equal to the current market share price times the number of shares outstanding (i.e. shares that have been authorized, issued, and purchased by investors) of a publicly traded company.
