Market capitalization (market cap) is the total value of a company's outstanding shares of stock, calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the number of shares. In trading, market cap is used to assess the size, stability, and growth potential of companies. Traders often categorize stocks by their market cap (small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap) to align with their investment strategies and risk tolerance. Market cap can influence liquidity, volatility, and investor sentiment toward a particular stock or sector.
