free float

Available shares trading

Free float refers to shares of a company's stock available for public trading, excluding those held by insiders, major stakeholders, or governments.

A company with low free float may see more volatile price swings because fewer shares change hands.

In project management, free float is the time an activity can be delayed without affecting subsequent tasks.
