Market Valuation
Categories: Stocks, Managed Funds, Company Valuation
A given company has a set number of shares outstanding at any one time. Multiply that number by the price of each share, and you have the market valuation.
Example
Shmapple has a billion shares outstanding and its stock trades for $104.32 this moment. That makes the market valuation of Shmapple $104.32 billion. It's the value that the market's assessment puts on the company as a whole by offering to buy or sell shares in the company at that given price.
