Market capitalization of the Spanish Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2023, by sector
The market capitalization, or market cap, is one measure of calculating the value of a stock or group of stocks. Found by computing the number of shares times the price per share, this gives an estimation of how much capital the companies have raised by issuing stock in a particular market. In 2023, this amounted to 181 billion euros for the financial services sector of the Spanish Stock Exchange, making it the highest-capitalized sector at that time, followed by financial services.
