Why do clothing brands differ in terms of market cap and brand value?
Market cap is the total value of a company’s outstanding shares, calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the number of shares outstanding. It reflects the market’s valuation of the company based on its financial performance and investor sentiment. On the other hand, brand value represents the financial worth of a brand as perceived by consumers, indicating the premium they are willing to pay for products or services bearing that brand’s name.
That is the reason LVMH is the biggest clothing company when it comes to market cap but Nike takes the top spot in terms of brand value.
