The top 100 companies according to the market capitalization are called as the large cap companies. Companies from 101 to 250 (based on market capitalization) are the mid-cap companies and the rest, that is above 250 are the small cap companies.

  3. Return On Equity (ROE)
  4. Debt-to-Equity (DE) Ratio
  5. 5 Years Sales Growth
  6. 5 Years Net Profit Growth
