Advanced Emissions Solutions provides emissions reductions technologies through consumables that utilize powdered activated carbon (PAC) and chemical based technologies, primarily serving the coal-fired power generation and industrial boiler industries. Co.'s operations consisted of two reportable segments: refined coal, which engages in equity method investments as well as royalty related to reduced emissions of both nitrogen oxide and mercury from coal; and Power Generation and Industrials, which sells consumable products that utilize PAC and chemical technologies as well as historically the sale of activated carbon injection and dry sorbent injection equipment systems. We show 20 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ADES shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ADES market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ADES market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ADES'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 ADES versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ADES 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 ADES can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ADES by allowing them to research the ADES market cap history. |
