Significado en lenguaje sencillo
Free float is the portion of shares considered available for public trading under the venue or index provider's rules.
Por qué es útil
Free float is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.
Dónde aparece en XMarketRadar
Look for Free float on Market Details, quotes, order/price context, watchlists and screener result columns when the selected provider supplies the field.
Cómo se calcula o se obtiene
Free float is sourced or derived according to the definition shown above and the screen's disclosed provider, inputs, window and as-of time. Missing required inputs produce an unavailable result.
Entradas, período y unidad
Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.
Ejemplo práctico
Illustrative only: If 100 million shares exist and the index provider classifies 35 million as publicly tradable, free float is 35%; another provider may classify strategic holdings differently.
Qué significan alto y bajo
A higher or lower Free float value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.
Positivo, negativo y cero real
Positive and negative Free float values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.
Limitaciones y errores comunes
Free float may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.
Diferencias según el mercado
The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
