What is Market Cap? Market Cap is short for Market Capitalisation and can also be known as equity Value.
Market Cap is the market value of a publically listed company. It is the total value of the company’s outstanding shares.
You will often hear companies being categorised by their market cap, depending on the size.
| Mega Cap | > $200 billion |
| Large Cap | $10 billion – $200 billion |
| Mid Cap | £2 billion – $10 billion |
| Small Cap | $300 million – $2 billion |
| Micro Cap | $50 million – $300 million |
| Nano Cap | < $50 million |
Market cap differs from enterprise value as it only accounts for the value of equity, where as enterprise value considers total value, considering net debt (debt + cash).
