Arcosa is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with various brands serving construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Co. reports operating results in three principal business segments: Construction Products, which produces and sells natural and recycled aggregates, specialty materials, and construction site support equipment, including trench shields and shoring products; Engineered Structures, which primarily manufactures and sells steel structures for infrastructure businesses; and Transportation Products, which manufactures and sells inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches, marine hardware, and steel components. We show 27 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ACA shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ACA market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ACA market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ACA'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 ACA versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ACA 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 ACA can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ACA by allowing them to research the ACA market cap history. |
