Mid-cap stocks

Mid-cap stocks are shares of companies with a medium market capitalisation, typically ranging between $2 billion and $10 billion.

These stocks fall between large-cap and small-cap stocks in terms of size and risk profile. Mid-cap companies are often seen as more growth-oriented compared to large-cap companies, but they're also considered more stable than small-cap companies. 🌟

An example of a mid-cap stock is the cybersecurity firm, Fortinet, which has a market capitalisation within the mid-cap range.

Fun fact: Mid-cap stocks are often referred to as the "Goldilocks" zone of investing, as they provide a balance between the stability and established nature of large-cap stocks and the growth potential and higher risk of small-cap stocks. This balance makes them an attractive investment option for many investors. 🐻🍲
