Market  capitalization  is  a  measurement  of  corporate  or  economic  size  equal  to  the  share  price  times  the  number  of  shares  outstanding  of  a  public  company.  As  owning  stock  represents  owning  the  company,  including  all  its  equity,  capitalization  could  represent  the  public  opinion  of  a  companyʹs  net  worth  and  is  a  determining  factor  in  stock  valuation.  Likewise,  the  capitalization of stock markets or economic regions may be compared to other  economic  indicators.  The  total  market  capitalization  of  all  publicly  traded  companies in the world was US$51.2 trillion in January 2007 and rose as high  as  US$57.5  trillion  in  May  2008  before  dropping  below  US$50  trillion  in  August 2008 and slightly above US$40 trillion in September 2008. As of March  2009 it is around US$30 trillion.    The  following  is  a  list  of  top  10  stock  exchanges  having  the  greatest  market  capitalization  along  with  the  position  of  our  Bombay  Stock  Exchange  and the National Stock Exchange.    Domestic Market Capitalization  (USD millions)  Rank

ExxonMobil Country : United States  Sector : Oil & gas   Market Value : $m 336,524.9      The Exxon Mobil Corporation, or ExxonMobil, is an American oil and  gas corporation. It is a direct descendant of John D. Rockefellerʹs Standard Oil  company, formed on November 30, 1999, by the merger of Exxon and Mobil.  ExxonMobil  is  the  worldʹs  largest  publicly  traded  company  when  measured  by  either  revenue  or  market  capitalization.  Exxon  Mobilʹs  reserves  were 72 billion oil‐equivalent barrels at the end of 2007 and, at current rates of  production,  are  expected  to  last  over  14  years.  The  company  has  38  oil  refineries in 21 countries constituting a combined daily refining capacity of 6.3  million barrels.  While it is the largest of the six oil supermajors with daily production of  3.921 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) in 2008, this is only approximately  3%  of  world  production  and  ExxonMobilʹs  daily  production  is  surpassed  by  several  of  the  largest  state‐owned  petroleum  companies.  When  ranked  by  oil  and gas reserves it is 14th in the world with less than 1% of the total.  The Exxon Mobil Corporation global headquarters are located in Irving,  Texas.  ExxonMobil  markets  products  around  the  world  under  the  brands  of  Exxon, Mobil, and Esso. It also owns hundreds of smaller subsidiaries such as  Imperial Oil Limited (69.6% ownership) in Canada, and SeaRiver Maritime, a  petroleum shipping company.  ExxonMobil  has  been  accused  by  major  scientific  organizations  of  waging  a misinformation  campaign  aiming  to  create  uncertainty  on  the  issue  of global warming.    The  current  Chairman  of  the  Board  and  CEO  of  Exxon  Mobil  Corporation is Rex Tillerson. Tillerson assumed the top position on January 1,  2006,  on  the  retirement  of  long‐time  chairman  and  CEO,  Lee  Raymond,  who  received  a  retirement  and  severance  package  of  approximately  $400  million  USD, of which some were critical.

Wal-Mart Country : US  Sector : General retailers   Market Value : $m 204,364.8      Wal‐Mart  Stores,  Inc.  is  an  American  public  corporation  that  runs  a  chain  of  large,  discount  department  stores.  It  is  the  worldʹs  largest  public  corporation by revenue, according to the 2008 Fortune Global 500. Founded by  Sam Walton in 1962, it was incorporated on October 31, 1969, and listed on the  New York Stock Exchange in 1972. Wal‐mart is the largest private employer in  the world[citation needed] and the largest grocery retailer in the United States,  with an estimated 20% of the retail grocery and consumables business. It also  owns and operates the North American company, Samʹs Club.    Wal‐Mart  operates  in  Mexico  as  Walmex,  in  the  UK  as  Asda,  and  in  Japan as Seiyu. It has wholly owned operations in Argentina, Brazil, Canada,  and  Puerto  Rico.  Wal‐Martʹs  investments  outside  North  America  have  had  mixed results: its operations in South America and China are highly successful,  while  it  was  forced  to  pull  out  of  Germany  and  South  Korea  when  ventures  there were unsuccessful.    Wal‐Mart  has  been  criticized  by  some  community  groups,  womenʹs  rights  groups,  grassroots  organizations,  and  labor  unions,  specifically  for  its  extensive  foreign  product  sourcing,  low  rates  of  employee  health  insurance  enrollment,  resistance  to  union  representation,  alleged  sexism,  and  management  efforts  to  pressure  employees  to  vote  for  specific  parties  during  national  elections.  Conversely,  others  point  out  that  Wal‐Martʹs  rapid  growth  and logistical efficiency has enabled it to bring lower prices to consumers and  more jobs and new small businesses to the communities in which it operates.
