mid cap

Neither large nor small

Mid cap describes companies of medium market capitalization—typically valued between roughly $2 billion and $10 billion, though the boundaries shift over time.

Mid-cap stocks occupy the middle ground between large established corporations and smaller, riskier ventures: Mid-cap funds offer a balance of growth potential and stability.

Often hyphenated as an adjective, written as two words as a noun.
