Market Capitalization, often referred to as Market Cap, is the total value of a company’s outstanding shares of stock in the market. It is used to measure a company's size and overall market value.


Formula:


Market Capitalization=Current Share Price×Total Outstanding Shares


Why is it Important?

  • Helps compare companies of different sizes

  • Indicates company stability and risk level

  • Guides investment decisions (e.g., large caps are considered more stable)
