What is Market Capitalisation? Market cap is the value of a company’s total outstanding shares, meaning all shares currently held by its shareholders. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of shares issued by the company by their price. How do market cap fluctuations affect companies and investors? Impact on Company: Large market cap helps companies raise funds from the market, take loans, or acquire other companies. Meanwhile, small or low market cap reduces the company’s ability to make financial decisions. Impact on Investors: Increase in market cap directly benefits investors because their share prices increase. However, a decline can cause losses, which may lead investors to decide to sell shares.
