large cap

Big company shares

Large cap describes publicly traded companies with high market capitalization—typically $10 billion or more.

These are established, stable corporations like those in the S&P 500: Large-cap stocks tend to be less volatile than small caps.

The term appears in investment contexts to categorize companies by size, alongside mid cap and small cap.
