InsiderFlow › Glossary › What is market capitalization?
Market capitalization is a company's total stock-market value: share price multiplied by the number of shares.
It's the standard way to measure how much a listed company "weighs". Investors speak of large caps (above ~$10 billion), mid caps ($2–10 billion) and small caps (below $2 billion). Giants like Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia have passed the trillion-dollar mark.
Market cap also sets a stock's weight in indexes: in the S&P 500 the top 10 companies account for more than a third of the entire index.
