Large cap stocks are stocks of companies which have large market capitalizations, typically over $10 billion. They tend to be very established in their line(s) of business and highly diversified in their operations.
Defining Large, Mid and Small-Cap Companies. Companies are considered to be large-, mid- or small-cap based on the market capitalisation of a company, which is its overall value; the greater the value, the larger the cap. Morningstar defines large-cap companies as those that account for the top 70% of the capitalisation of a domestic stock market. Mid-cap stocks represent the next 20% and small-cap stocks make up the remainder. In the UK large caps are generally considered to be those that are listed in the FTSE 100 index. The smallest company within the FTSE 100 is Weir Group with a market cap of Â£3.8 billion.
