Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a provider of outsourced aircraft and aviation operating services. Co. has the following two operating and reportable segments: Airline Operations, which provides outsourced aircraft operating services to customers, including express delivery providers, e-commerce retailers, the U.S. military, charter brokers, freight forwarders, airlines, manufacturers, sports teams and fans, and private charter customers; and Dry Leasing, which provides for the leasing of cargo and passenger aircraft and engines to customers, and aircraft- and lease-management services. We show 53 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AAWW shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AAWW market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AAWW market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AAWW's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of AAWW versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AAWW market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like AAWW can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching AAWW by allowing them to research the AAWW market cap history. |
