📍 What is Market Capitalization?

✅ Definition of Market Cap

✅ How it represents a company's value in the stock market

✅ Classification of companies based on market cap:

  • Large-cap (₹20,000 crore and above) – Example: Reliance, TCS
  • Mid-cap (₹5,000 crore – ₹20,000 crore) – Example: Voltas, Minda Industries
  • Small-cap (Below ₹5,000 crore) – Example: Tata Elxsi, BSE Ltd

📊 How to Calculate Market Cap?

🧮 Formula:

Market Cap=Share Price×Outstanding Shares\text{Market Cap} = \text{Share Price} \times \text{Outstanding Shares}

📌 Example Calculation:

  • Share Price: ₹500
  • Outstanding Shares: 10 crore
  • Market Cap = ₹500 × 10 crore = ₹5,000 crore (Mid-cap category)

📈 Importance of Market Cap in Fundamental Analysis

1. Risk Assessment

📍 Large-cap = Low risk, stable returns

📍 Mid-cap = Moderate risk, good growth

📍 Small-cap = High risk, high return potential

2. Growth Potential

📌 Small-cap = High growth opportunities

📌 Large-cap = Steady income and dividends

3. Portfolio Diversification

💡 A mix of large-cap (stability), mid-cap (moderate growth), and small-cap (high return potential) is ideal.

4. Stock Valuation & Investment Decisions

📊 Compare Market Cap with:

  • Earnings Per Share (EPS)
  • Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
  • Enterprise Value (EV)

🔍 Final Thoughts

📢 Market cap is a key metric in stock selection, but it should be combined with other fundamental analysis tools.

📌 Key Takeaway: Before investing, analyze a company’s market cap, financials, and industry trends to make informed decisions.
