From above link:
The market price of an entire company, calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share. here also called market cap or market capitalization.
* Add'l Notes (not from above source but from memory)
Outstanding shares does not include treasury stock (stock the company owns of itself, for example if IBM has IBM shares its not considered outstanding). I do not think it includes convertable bonds (bonds that can be swapped for stock) or stock options. It does include all other owners of the stock.
