Market Cap

Definitions

1. Market capitalization, the total equity value of a public company calculated as share price multiplied by shares outstanding. It is a common shorthand for public-company size, though it ignores debt and cash structure.

   In plain English: The total value of a public company's equity based on its stock price.

   Example: "The company's market cap dropped sharply after the earnings miss."
