What is Market Capitalization?
Market capitalization refers to the total dollar market value of a company's
outstanding shares of stock. The investment community uses this figure to
determine a company's size instead of sales or total asset figures. In an
acquisition, the market cap is used to determine whether a takeover
candidate represents a good value or not to the acquirer.

There are 2 types of market capitalization

1. Float market capitalization
2. Full market capitalization

1. Float market capitalization: -

In standard market capitalisation, the calculation involves determining the total number
of outstanding shares, including both public and privately owned ones. However, in free-
float market cap method, the valuation of a company relies only on the outstanding shares
held publicly. this share number is then multiplied with the price for each share.

2. Full Market Capitalization:-

Full market capitalization, also known as total market capitalization, is the
total value of all outstanding shares of a publicly traded company. It is calculated
by multiplying the current market price of a single share by the total number of
outstanding shares of the company. Full market capitalization is an important
metric used by investors to evaluate the size and overall worth of a company.
