Answer

Company "Market Cap" or "Stock Market Capitalization" is the value of all of the company's issued and outstanding shares multiplied by the stock price on a given day.  

Stock Market Capitalization = Current Shares Outstanding x Current Stock Market Price.

Standard & Poor's NetAdvantage: Provides Market Capitalization under the company summary.
