Market Capitalisation

Market Capitalisation: a core concept in stocks coverage, explained in plain English.

Market Capitalisation refers to a concept that comes up constantly in stocks reporting. In practice it describes how market capitalisation works, who is affected and why it matters to readers.

The term is often used loosely. A precise reading focuses on the mechanism behind market capitalisation rather than the outcome, which is where most confusion starts.
