What’s the difference between microcap and smallcap?
Unfortunately, the definitions are not standardized. In fact, these are rather fluid terms which are used primarily to orient an investor to the size of a company. Micrcocaps tend to be really small—some places define it as a stock with a market cap under $200 million. Small caps are often defined as somewhere between $200 million up to about $1 billion.
