Morphology
The intended sense of "cap" here is the specialized finance abbreviation for "market capitalization," which a B1 learner who only knows general senses of "cap" (hat, a limit) is unlikely to recognize. Because the MWE relies on domain-specific jargon rather than a straightforward compositional meaning, learners will not reliably infer "company with large market value" without prior exposure.
Etymology
Large cap comes from the idea of 'market capitalization', the total value of a company, and cap is a short form of 'capitalization'. Imagine a company wearing a very big cap like a hat to show its size, and that's why large cap means a company worth a lot of money and usually more stable.
