** Market Capitalization (Market Cap)
|
||
|
||
Market capitalization (market cap) refers to the total value of a company's outstanding shares of stock. It is used as a measure of a company’s size and worth in the stock market.
|
||
|
||
*** Formula:
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC
|
||
Market Cap = Stock Price × Total Outstanding Shares
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
*** Example:
|
||
If a company has 10 million shares and each share is worth $50, the market cap would be:
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC
|
||
10,000,000 × 50 = 500,000,000
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
So, the company's market cap is **$500 million**.
|
||
|
||
*** Market Cap Categories:
|
||
- *Small-cap:* Less than **$2 billion** (e.g., early-stage or high-growth companies)
|
||
- *Mid-cap:* Between **$2 billion - $10 billion** (e.g., growing businesses)
|
||
- *Large-cap:* Over **$10 billion** (e.g., well-established companies like Apple, Microsoft)
|
||
|
||
*** Why is Market Cap Important?
|
||
- **Indicates company size** – Larger companies tend to be more stable, while smaller ones might have higher growth potential.
|
||
- **Affects investment decisions** – Large-cap stocks are often safer but may grow slower, while small-cap stocks can be more volatile but have higher growth potential.
|
||
- **Used in stock indices** – Major indices like the **S&P 500** are weighted by market cap.
