What is market capitalization?

Market cap is the value of the total outstanding shares of any company, i.e. all those shares which are currently held by its shareholders. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of issued shares of the company by their price.

What effect do market cap fluctuations have on the company and investors?

• Impact on the company: A large market cap helps the company to raise funds from the market, take loans or acquire other companies. At the same time, small or low market cap reduces the ability of the company to take financial decisions.
• Impact on investors: Investors directly benefit from increasing market cap. Because the price of their shares increases. At the same time, the fall may cause loss, due to which investors may decide to sell shares.
• Example: If TCS’s market cap increases by ₹12.43 lakh crore, investors’ wealth will increase, and the company may get more capital for future investments. But if the market cap falls then it may incur losses.
