Q. How do I find total stock market capitalization (value)?

The market cap for a company can be found in many different resources.

For individual stocks:

• Google Finance  (most recent market cap)
• WRDS - COMPUSTAT- Securities Daily (historical information- calculate manually by retrieving shares outstanding and price)
• Bloomberg - Enter security ticker and DES<GO>
• Eikon - Search for company profile
• Mergent Online - Market caps are included in the top banner of the company profile, however these are updated less frequently than the other resources listed above.

For the total market cap of a country see:

• Bloomberg (available in the Humanities/McLennan Library, 3rd floor (Room M3-53B)).
  • Type WCAP into the command line for a listing of market cap by country.

• World Bank's Market capitalization of listed companies.
• World Development Indicators from the World Bank.
