How it works
Multiply the price of one share by the total number of shares the company has outstanding. The result is the market cap, in the same money you entered the price in.
Shares outstanding are printed in a company's annual and quarterly reports. Market cap changes every time the share price moves, so the same company can show a different figure on another day.
Worked example
A company with 1,500,000,000 shares outstanding, priced at $150.25 each, has a market cap of $225,375,000,000.
Questions
Is market cap the same as what a company is worth?
Not quite. It only prices the shares. Debt and cash are left out, which is why analysts also look at enterprise value.
Where do I find shares outstanding?
Look in the company's annual report or its quarterly reports. Most finance websites list the figure as well.
Does market cap show whether a stock is cheap?
No. It shows size, not whether the share price is high or low compared with anything else.
