How does the concept of free float help you evaluate the true value of a stock?

Free float in the stock market refers to the number of freely-traded shares available in the stock market.

It is calculated by subtracting restricted shares from the total outstanding shares.

A high free float indicates a large number of tradable shares, making it easier for investors to buy and sell quickly.


The free float provides a more accurate representation of the value of a stock than the traditional market capitalization which may be artificially inflated.

Free-float market capitalization reflects the true market value of a company independent of private holders’ influence.
