  • 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.

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.
