IN THE STOCK MARKET, MARKET CAP IS (SHARE PRICE) X (OUTSTANDING PRICE).
IN REAL ESTATE MARKET VALUE IS PRICE OF A HOME BEING SOLD FOR.
TAKE FACEBOK ITS MARKET CAP IS 171 BILLION. DOES THIS MEAN ITS THE SAME AS MARKET VALUE. IF SOMEONE WANTED TO COMPLETELY PURCHASE FACEBOOK DOES IT MEAN ITS WORTH 171 BILLION?
IF MARET CAP IS THE SAME AS MARET VALUE, CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW FACEBOOK (FB) 171 BILLION IS WORTH MORE THEN CITIGROUP (C) 152 BILLION?
FACEBOOK (FB)
REVENUE 7.8 BILLION
OPERATING INCOME 2.8 BILLION
NET INCOME 1.5 BILLION
MARKET CAP 171 BILLION
CITIGROUP (C)
REVENUE 76.3 BILLION
OPERATING INCOME 19.4 BILLION
NET INCOME 13.6 BILLION
MARKET CAP 152 BILLION
I DONT THINK MARKET CAP IS THE SAME AS MARKET VALUE. THE REVENUE AND PROFITS OF THE TWO DONT ADD UP FOR FACEBOOK TO BE WORTH 19 BILLION MORE THEN CITIGROUP. CITIGROUP MAKES ABOUT MORE 10 TIMES REVENUE AND 9 TIMES MORE PROFIT THEN FACEBOOK.
IF I CAN GET SOME EXAMPLES/EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO, IT WILL BE GLADLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
