What is the market cap of a company?
Market cap or market capitalization is the total value of a publicly traded company's outstanding common shares owned by stockholders
Since outstanding shares are bought and sold in public markets, capitalization could be used as an indicator of public opinion of a company's net worth.
What does the market cap of a company tell investors?
Market capitalization is often used to rank the size of companies.
However, it measures only the equity component of a company's capital structure and does not reflect management's decision as to how much debt (or leverage) is used to finance the firm.
A more comprehensive measure of a firm's size is enterprise value (EV), which gives effect to outstanding debt, preferred stock, and other factors.
The market cap is also used in ranking the relative size of stock exchanges, being a measure of the sum of the market capitalizations of all companies listed on each stock exchange.
