small-cap

Junior market equity

Small-cap describes companies with relatively low market capitalization—typically between $300 million and $2 billion, though the boundaries shift.

Small-cap stocks are considered riskier but potentially higher-growth than large-cap or mid-cap investments: Her portfolio is heavy on small-cap tech stocks.

In typography, small caps are capital letters sized to match lowercase height.
