Sales revenue-refers to the income generated by operating assets during the company's operation. For example, the income of product enterprises selling products, the income of service enterprises providing services, and the income of commercial enterprises selling goods. Generally speaking, the sales revenue of an enterprise depends on the amount of operating assets. And assets = shareholders' equity (net assets)+liabilities. These are the financial data of enterprises, and the disclosure of annual reports of listed companies must be confirmed by certified public accountants, which means that the financial data of enterprises, including sales revenue, must be true and reliable.
Market value-is the total value of the stock market of listed companies. It is the data obtained by multiplying the current share price of the stock market by the total share capital. The price of the stock market is formed by the "bidding" of investors participating in the secondary market, and the formation of this price mainly depends on the "supply and demand" of stocks. We often hear the saying that "the market value has evaporated". For example, when the price of a stock is 10 yuan, its market value is 20 billion yuan. When the price falls to 5 yuan, the market value loses (evaporates) by half (10 billion yuan).
As mentioned above, the difference between sales revenue and market value is due to different concepts and calculation methods.
