To compute 12 months moving average of 6 months you need 18 months preceding information.
Take the closing price of the share of every day for 18 months Put this in columns Week1, Week2, etc. So you will have 18 months information presented in weekly columnar format (72 columns assuming 4 weeks per month) For each column take the highest value and lowest value. So you have 72 highest values and 72 lowest values. For each column (highest value + lowest value) / 2. So you get average. This gives 72 average values. This is value per share Get market capitalization by multiplying this value by number of shares outstanding. This gives you 72 market capitalization values.
You now have to find out the moving average of these 72 values over a period of 12 months each for the last 6 months. That is, you need 24 moving average values (6 months X 4) Take the first 48 values. Compute average and put in column 49 (This is your first 12 months moving average value) Take the average of values from column 2 to column 49 and put it in column 50 Take the average of values from column 3 to column 50 and put it in column 51 So and so forth You will now have 24 moving average values Take the average of these 24 values.
