sathi | I hear that Google is worth 170 billion dollars. Does Google have this much money or is just stock values? |
If it is just stock value, What happens to all the money that they raised through the stocks? |

$170B is the "market cap" which WAS the value today of all their outstanding shares multiplied by their stock price.
GOOG had about $12 Billion in cash at the end of last quarter.
The reality is that most companies could probably not be sold for its market cap, nor could every stockholder sell at todays price.
If ALL shares of stock of almost any company was dumped on the market at the same time, the price would plummet until buyers were found.
The original price that YAHOO raised at around $85 per share is what the company received. (Around $26 billion market cap then) Only a certain number of shares are in the marketplace, known as the float..The company holds the rest. The value after that is based on fluctuation in the open market.
In Googles case, there are 235 million shares floating.
It means that over $9 billion of paper wealth disappeared today after the market closed.
Only people who are short the stock will profit from the drop.
In the aftermarket today, Google lost about $12 BILLION of that $170B,, Tomorrow will be interesting.
The stock was priced for perfection and future earnings.
The market cap is on Yahoo Finance Summary page for each stock. The float and # shares are on the KEY STATISTICS page. |

It's more of property and the physical things that make up Google, as well as the business and it's name. |

anytime that you here a company is "worth" a certain amount of money it is most likely always in term of stock values |
|

Of course it's just stock values. |

It is the total worth of the company, cash, stocks, buildings, equipment, projected earnings etc....very complicated. |
