Market capitalisation or market cap is the market value of a company's issued share capital – in other words. the number of shares multiplied by the current price of those shares on the stock market. Companies are ranked as large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap depending on their market capitalisation (market cap), though the actual criteria for classification depend on the market concerned.
It is possible to view the market cap of a listed company by clicking on the hyperlinked company name as it appears in a story on the FT website. Or you can visit the FT's markets data section.
