The meaning of market value
Market value refers to the total value of shares issued by listed companies at market prices, and its calculation method is the market price per share multiplied by the total number of shares issued. The sum of the market value of all listed companies in the whole stock market is the total market value of stocks, and the face value and market value of stocks are often inconsistent. The stock price can be higher or lower than the face value, but the price of the initial stock issue is generally not lower than the face value.
