The total market value of a listed company's equity.
1. ''Derivatives''


Sometimes known as the 'equity market capitalisation', or abbreviated to 'capitalisation'.
The current fair value of a derivatives contract, representing the amount that would need to be paid to replace the contract now, in the event of the failure of the derivative counterparty.




The term highlights the idea that the market price may be overvaluing - or undervaluing - the company, when compared with its intrinsic value.
2. ''Financial reporting''


This concept is particularly important in the context of value investing.
In current cost accounting, the current market cost of replacing inputs, rather than their historical cost.
