Market Capitalization (or Market Cap) refers to the total market (common equity) value of a company on any given day. It is the total dollar market value of all of a company's outstanding shares. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company's shares outstanding by the current market price of one share. The investment community uses this figure to determine a company's size, as opposed to sales or total asset figures.
Number of shares outstanding X current stock price = Market Cap
Market Cap may be easily found at Yahoo! Finance or Google Finance. Simply lookup the company by its ticker.
You can also calculate the number of Shares Outstanding by dividing the Market Cap by the stock price.
