Market Capitalization Calculator

What is Market Capitalization?

Market capitalization (often called market cap) represents the total dollar value of a publicly traded company's outstanding shares of stock. Investors and analysts use market cap to determine a company's size, assess investment risk, and compare market values across industries.

Market Capitalization Formula

Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company's current share price by the total number of outstanding shares:

For instance, if a public corporation has $10\text{ million}$ outstanding shares trading at $\$150.50$ per share, its total market capitalization is $\$1.505\text{ billion}$.

Market Cap Categories

Companies are typically classified into distinct market cap brackets:

• Mega-Cap: Market value of $\$200\text{ billion}$ or greater.
• Large-Cap: Market value between $\$10\text{ billion}$ and $\$200\text{ billion}$.
• Mid-Cap: Market value between $\$2\text{ billion}$ and $\$10\text{ billion}$.
• Small-Cap: Market value between $\$300\text{ million}$ and $\$2\text{ billion}$.
• Micro-Cap: Market value between $\$50\text{ million}$ and $\$300\text{ million}$.
• Nano-Cap: Market value under $\$50\text{ million}$.
