Market capitalisation
Contents
Key points
- It is used to rank companies by size, determine index weights and compute ratios such as P/E and P/B.
- Large-cap companies are usually more liquid and less volatile; small caps offer higher growth with higher risk.
- market cap is the market’s current pricing, not the company’s intrinsic value.
Formula / calculation
Market cap = Total shares × Share price. Because the price changes every trading day, so does market cap; Yatırımcı.AI shows the value computed from 15-minute delayed prices.

Interpretation
Large-cap companies are usually more liquid and less volatile; small caps offer higher growth with higher risk. Since debt is excluded, the true cost of acquiring a company is measured by enterprise value.
Pitfalls
market cap is the market’s current pricing, not the company’s intrinsic value. With a low free float the actually tradable value is much smaller. FX effects must not be ignored in dollar-based comparisons.
