What is market capitalisation?
Market capitalisation or 'market cap' is a measure used to evaluate the total value of a publicly traded company. It is calculated by multiplying the current share price of the company by the total number of outstanding shares.
In essence, market capitalisation represents the theoretical value of a company according to the stock market.
