2 2012 Market Segmentation Study 5 November 2013
Introduction
This survey is being conducted since 2007.
The domestic market capitalization was broken down in four segments
according to thresholds. The same threshold levels were kept for the last
5 surveys for consistency reasons. The segments were defined as
follows:
• Large market cap segment : market cap > USD 1.3 bn
• Mid market cap segment : USD 1.3 bn > market cap > USD 200 m
• Small market cap segment : USD 200 m > market cap > USD 65 m
• Micro market cap segment : market cap < USD 65 m
3 2012 Market Segmentation Study 5 November 2013
Exchanges were asked to distribute their domestic market cap, number
of domestic listed companies, EOB trading value and EOB number of
trades into these 4 segments.
Since 2008, an important change in the methodology has been
introduced: only EOB trading is now considered while total trading was
used for the first survey.
Companies delisted during the year were excluded.
In market capitalization, number of companies, EOB trading value and
number of trades: Main board + SMEs/Alternative markets data are
consolidated.
