Market Capitalization
Earnings & Fundamentals
Market capitalization (market cap) is the total market value of a company's outstanding shares of stock. It is calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the total number of outstanding shares.
Market cap determines whether a stock is large-cap (over $10B), mid-cap ($2–10B), or small-cap (under $2B) — each with different risk and return profiles.
