  1. small cap

    Small cap, short for small market capitalization, refers to companies with a relatively small total market value of all their outstanding shares. This value is calculated by multiplying a company's stock price by the number of shares outstanding. While the range varies by context and country, small cap typically refers to companies with a market capitalization between $300 million and $2 billion. These companies usually have high growth potential, but are also considered higher risk than larger companies with more established operations.
