Understanding Market Capitalization

Market capitalization serves as a useful metric for assessing the size and potential growth of a company. Companies are categorized based on their market cap, with classifications ranging from micro-cap under two billion to mega-cap beyond 200 billion. Understanding these classifications can help investors grasp the scale of the business and its growth prospects, as larger companies often experience slower growth compared to smaller firms. However, overvaluation can occur in high market cap companies, making it essential for investors to look beyond this metric and consider other factors.
