MARKET VALUE

(1) The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold. (2) The value investors believe a firm is worth; calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the current market price of a firm's shares.

The highest price a willing buyer would pay and a willing seller accept, both being fully informed, and the property exposed for a reasonable period of time.
