What is Free Float Ratio?

Free float refers to the ratio of publicly traded shares that are subject to buying and selling transactions on the stock exchange to the total shares. This ratio includes only shares not held by company founders, top executives, government institutions, and strategic investors. Therefore, the free float ratio is an important indicator showing how liquid a stock is and to what extent it can be bought and sold under market conditions.

Locked Shares and Market Dynamics

Locked shares are generally held by company founders or large investors, and it is not expected that they will be offered to the market in the short term. This situation is a critical factor affecting the actual liquidity of a stock. A high free float ratio contributes to the market depth and increases the trading volume, while low ratios can lead to more volatile price movements.

New Ratios and Market Impact

The revised free float ratios are expected to affect trading dynamics in the markets. Investors will need to reassess their strategies based on these updates. Especially stocks with high free float ratios may sustain price stability, while others may become riskier.
