Price * No. of Shares Outstanding

Dude go to finance reports of the company and find number of shares. Then jump to stock exchange and know the current price of stock and multiply number of shares with share price. It will be difficult to calculate if the stock is listed in multiple markets. Better try for every market and add them up.
