mid-cap

Mid-cap

Short for "Middle Cap," mid cap refers to stocks with a market capitalization of between $2 billion to $10 billion.

Notes:

As the name implies, a mid-cap is in the middle of the pack. A mid-cap isn't too big, but at the same time has a relatively decent market cap.

Keep in mind that classifications such as "large cap" or "small cap" are only approximations that change over time. Also, the exact definition can vary between brokerage houses.
