Definition
市值 (shì zhí) refers to the total market value of a publicly traded company's outstanding shares — its market capitalization. It is a financial term for a company's worth on the stock market, distinct from 身价 (shēn jià), which describes an individual's net worth or a celebrity's personal market value. 股市 (gǔ shì) means 'stock market' itself, not a company's valuation.
