What is Market Capitalization?
Market capitalization (market cap) represents the total market value of a company's outstanding shares. It's calculated by multiplying the current share price by the total number of outstanding shares.
While market cap tells us what the market is willing to pay for a company today, it's important to remember that price is not the same as value. As Rule #1 investors, we look for companies where the true value exceeds the market price.
