Calculate a company's market capitalization by multiplying its stock price by the total number of outstanding shares
Learn how to use the Market Capitalization Calculator and its working principles
Market capitalization (often called "market cap") is the total dollar value of a company's outstanding shares of stock. It represents the public's valuation of a company and is used to determine the company's size, potential investment value, and to compare companies within the same industry.
For example, if a company has a stock price of $50 and 10 million outstanding shares, the market capitalization would be:
$50 × 10,000,000 = $500,000,000 (or $500 million)
