  • Market Cap: In-Depth Guide of Stock Market Capitalization Analysis
    Market Cap: In-Depth Guide of Stock Market Capitalization Analysis What Does Market Cap Mean? “Market capitalization refers to the total dollar market value of a company’s outstanding shares. Commonly referred to as ‘market cap,’ it is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share. The investment community uses this figure to determine a company’s size, as opposed to using sales or total asset figures.” What is a Stock’s Market Value? An important aspect of determining a stock’s worth is looking at its market value. The market value ​ is the price that an asset would command. ​ Figuring out the general market value of stocks and some other financial instruments like futures is pretty simple, since the market rates are extremely easy to find. A company’s true market value requires more than just the market cap. For the most accurate snapshot, you need to consider things like the P/E Ratio (Price to Earnings Ratio), the return on equity, ​ ​ and the EPS (Earnings Per Share) of the company in question. ​ ​ Market Cap vs. Market Value Both market cap and market value can be used to review the value of a company. They sound similar, and sometimes people use the terms interchangeably. The market cap is a metric that is based on the stock price. To determine a company’s market cap, all you have to do is multiply the current share price by the number of shares outstanding. With that in mind, it’s kind of understandable why the term market value is used interchangeably with market cap.

  • Capital Formation Market Trends: Ipos and Follow-On Offerings
    Professional Perspective Capital Formation Market Trends: IPOs and Follow-On Offerings Anna Pinedo and Carlos Juarez, Mayer Brown LLP Reproduced with permission. Published February 2020. Copyright © 2020 The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. 800.372.1033. For further use, please visit: http://bna.com/copyright-permission-request/ Capital Formation Market Trends: IPOs and Follow-On Offerings Contributed by Anna Pinedo and Carlos Juarez, Mayer Brown LLP The capital formation environment has significantly changed in the last two decades and, in particular, following the global financial crisis of 2008. The number of initial public offerings has declined, and M&A exits have become a more attractive option for many promising companies. This article reviews trends in the initial public offering market, notable alternatives to IPOs, and follow-on offering activity. A Changing Environment While completing an IPO used to be seen as a principal objective of and signifier of success for entrepreneurs—and the venture capital and other institutional investors who financed emerging companies—this is no longer the case. Market structure and regulatory developments have changed capital-raising dynamics following the dot-com bust and financial crisis. At the same time, private capital alternatives also have become more varied and more significant. The number of IPOs drastically declined after 2000 compared to prior historic levels. After a brief increase in the number of IPOs following the aftermath of the dotcom bust, the number of IPOs declined again, partly as a result of the financial crisis. Changes in the regulation of research, enhanced corporate governance requirements, decimalization, a decline in the liquidity of small and mid-cap stocks, and other developments have been identified as contributing to the decline in the number of IPOs.

  • The Big Bang: Stock Market Capitalization in the Long Run ?
    The Big Bang: Stock Market Capitalization in the Long Run ? Dmitry Kuvshinov and Kaspar Zimmermann † April 2019 Abstract This paper presents new annual long-run stock market capitalization data for 17 advan- ced economies. Going beyond benchmark year estimates of Rajan and Zingales( 2003) reveals a striking new time series pattern: over the long run, the evolution of stock market size resembles a hockey stick. The ratio of stock market capitalization to GDP was stable between 1870 and 1980, tripled with a “big bang” in the 1980s and 1990s, and remains high to this day. We use novel data on equity returns, prices and cashflows to explore the underlying drivers of this sudden structural shift. Our first key finding is that the big bang is driven almost entirely by rising equity prices, not quantities. Net equity issuance is sizeable but relatively constant over time, and plays very little role in the short and long run dynamics of market cap. Second, this price increase is explained by a mix of higher dividend payments, and a higher valuation – or a lower discount rate – of the underlying dividend stream. Third, high market capitalization forecasts low subsequent equity returns, outperforming standard predictors such as the price-dividend ratio. Our results imply that rather than measuring financial efficiency, stock market capitalization is best used as a “Buffet indicator” of investor risk appetite. Keywords: Stock market capitalization, financial development, financial wealth, equity valuations, risk premiums, return predictability JEL classification codes: E44,G10,N10,N20,O16 ?This work is part of a larger project kindly supported by a research grant from the Bundesministerium fur¨ Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).

  • Rules of the Stock Market Gametm
    Rules of The Stock Market GameTM Portfolio Rules 1. Each team begins the simulation with $100,000 in cash and may borrow additional funds. How much you may borrow is dependent on the equity in your account. Teams that buy on margin must maintain the Minimum Maintenance requirement. If you dip below this level, you will receive a margin call and must sell off enough investments to meet Minimum Maintenance. If a team still has not met its Minimum Maintenance requirement within seven days, the SMG system will automatically liquidate enough of the portfolio’s investments to collect the required amount. 2. Interest is charged weekly on negative cash balances at an annual rate of 7%, and credited weekly on positive cash balances at an annual rate of 0.75%. Interest is calculated daily, then summed for the week (Saturday – Friday) and posted Saturday (with Friday's date). The daily rate is based on a 365-day year. Daily Interest = Cash x Appropriate Interest Rate (as a decimal) / 365. Bond coupon payments will be posted when due. Bond buyers will also be charged for accrued interest since the last coupon payment. Bond sellers will receive accrued interest since the last coupon payment. 3. Teams may trade only stocks and mutual funds listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange. Teams cannot trade over-the-counter or “pink sheet” stocks since they often price incorrectly. In addition, extremely volatile stocks or stocks that trade infrequently are not permitted and may be liquidated to protect portfolio stability. SMG reserves the right to cancel transactions in these securities as deemed necessary.

Flight-to-Liquidity and Global Equity Returns ABSTRACT Investment practice and academic literature document a great degree of interaction between stock markets around the world and most liquid and safest assets such as the US Treasury bonds. Using data from 46 markets, we examine the joint impact of the “flight-to-liquidity” and “flight-to- quality” on global asset valuation. Our proxy for the flight-to-liquidity/quality is the illiquidity of US short-term Treasury bonds. We find that it is a leading indicator of the stock market illiquidity, and that it is also a strong predictor of future equity returns in both developed and emerging markets. This predictive relation remains intact after controlling for other global and local variables, including the lagged US term spread, dividend yields, equity market returns, as well as global and local stock market illiquidity.

  • Appendix 15.1 Major US Stock Market Indexes
    Predicting the Markets Ed Yardeni Appendix 15.1 Major US Stock Market Indexes (1) Dow Jones Industrials Average includes only 30 blue chip stocks. The Dow Jones averages are unique in that they are price weighted rather than market capitalization weighted. Their component weightings are therefore affected only by changes in the stocks’ prices, in contrast with other indexes’ weightings that are affected by both price changes and changes in the number of shares outstanding. The Dow Jones Transportation and Dow Jones Utilities indexes have 20 and 15 components, respectively.1 (2) S&P 500 is a market capitalization weighted index of 500 stocks. The stocks of this index are selected for being a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries. Many “LargeCap” equity managers benchmark the performance of their portfolios to the S&P 500. (3) S&P 1500 combines the S&P 500 (LargeCaps) with the S&P 400 (MidCaps) and the S&P 600 (SmallCaps). During 2016, the S&P 500 was limited to companies with a market value (or capitalization) of $5.3 billion or more. The S&P 400 companies had a market cap between $1.4 billion and $5.9 billion. The S&P 600 companies were between $400 million and $1.8 billion. (4) NYSE Composite includes approximately 2,000 stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It is designed to measure the performance of all common stocks listed on the NYSE, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and tracking stocks. Closed-end funds, ETFs, limited partnerships and derivatives are excluded from the index.
