FAQ

What is market capitalisation?

Market capitalisation is a measure of a company’s total equity value. It is calculated by multiplying the latest share price by the total number of shares in issue. Market cap helps assess a company’s size and compare it with its peers.

Why trade electricity shares via CFDs?

CFD trading allows you to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying shares. This enables exposure to both rising and falling markets. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) involve costs such as spreads and overnight financing charges. CFDs are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses.

How often do market capitalisations change?

Market capitalisations fluctuate as share prices move. They are also influenced by share issues, buybacks and other corporate actions. Published figures usually reference end-of-day closing prices. It’s advisable to consult up-to-date market data when reviewing company values. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

What factors influence electricity share prices?

Key influences include interest rates (which affect financing costs), regulatory developments, energy prices, and overall economic conditions. Company-specific elements such as earnings, dividend policy, and infrastructure investment are also significant. Currency fluctuations and geopolitical events affecting energy supply can additionally have an impact. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
