FAQs

What exactly is market capitalization, and why does it matter?

Because it reflects what investors are prepared to pay for its stock, market cap evaluates what a firm is worth on the open market, as well as the market’s view of its future prospects. Large-cap companies are those having a market capitalization of $10 billion or more.

Is market capitalisation a reliable metric?

Because the market cap is nothing more than the value of a company’s total outstanding shares, if the stock’s market value rises, so does its market capitalization.
