Market capitalization as a method of valuing a company

Market capitalization, along with annual income and total assets, is one of the methods for evaluating the investment attractiveness of a company.

Using market capitalization to show the size of a company is important because the size of a company is the main factor determining the various characteristics investors are interested in, including risks.

Seeing the product of the number of shares by their value, the market capitalization is not the price the owner will necessarily sell his company.

Even though companies are overvalued by the market or, on the contrary, are undervalued, to get the real value of a company, it is necessary to consider its activity from a fundamental point of view.
