No, you can't do that rewrite.
The "largest stocks by market capitalization" means they are the largest when "market capitalization" is the scale being used.
There might be other stocks with a higher number of shares outstanding, or a higher price, for example, but when looking at market capitalization, these are the 10 largest.
You say "even better" instead "more better

After your analysis, I found there is a big difference between "capitalized by market" and " by market capitalization", the meaning of "by" is totally diffrence in two phrases!
