market capitalization

Firm's stock worth

Market capitalization is the total value of a company's outstanding shares—calculated by multiplying share price by number of shares.

It's the standard measure of a company's size: Apple's market cap exceeded three trillion dollars.

Companies are often categorized as large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap based on this figure.

Often shortened to market cap.
