Market cap is all specific to a particular exchange, so a company can have different market caps if it is cross-listed on multiple exchanges. (Usually the primary exchange valuation is used) | |

| Mar 18, 2020 at 16:04 | comment | added | chepner | Assuming the number of outstanding shares is fixed, market capitalization is just a function of the last transaction price, not a fundamental measure of the company's assets or liabilities. There are many factors that affect the last transaction price, not all of them rational. | |
