What is market capitalization?
Market cap is the value of the total outstanding shares of any company, that is, all the shares that are currently held by its shareholders. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of issued shares of the company with the stock price.

Market cap is used to categorise company stocks to help investors choose them based on their risk profile, such as large cap, mid cap and small cap companies.

Market cap = (Number of shares outstanding) x (Price of shares)
