Market cap or market capitalization is the market price of the stock multiplied by the number of stocks of the company outstanding.
P/e ratios is the earnings multiple meaning number of times the earnings of a company is to be multiplied to fetch the market price. It is simply the market price divided by earnings per share of a company.
