Market Cap

The total market value of a company's shares.

Market capitalisation is share price multiplied by total shares outstanding. It's the standard way to size a company and the basis for bucketing stocks into small-, mid-, and large-cap.

The formula

Share Price×Shares Outstanding
= Market Cap

Why it matters

  • Size correlates with liquidity, index inclusion, and (loosely) volatility — smaller caps tend to swing harder.
  • A useful denominator for other metrics, like dividend yield or FCF yield.
  • Doesn't account for debt — for that, see Enterprise Value (used in EV/EBITDA).
