Market capitalization is a company's worth as indicated by the price of its issued and outstanding stock shares; the value is calculated by multiplying price by the number of shares outstanding.  A company's shares outstanding are reported in its quarterly and annual balance sheet.  Several library databases provide this information as part of a company's financial profile.

In S&P's NetAdvantage, search by company name or ticker symbol, then click Valuation and look for Market Cap.
