Free Cash Flow
Free float market capitalization = Share Price x (Number of Shares Available for Trading – Private and Locked-In Shares)
When calculating the free float market cap of a company, the number of shares held privately or the shares that are locked-in are not taken into account. Typically, these shares are held by promoters and the government.
