Analog Devices is a semiconductor company. Co. designs, manufactures, tests and markets a portfolio of solutions, including integrated circuits, software and subsystems. Co.'s products include: analog and mixed signal, which include data converter products; power management and reference, which include functions such as power conversion, driver monitoring, sequencing and energy management; amplifiers/radio frequency and microwave, which are used to condition analog signals; sensors and actuators; and digital signal processing and system products, which are designed to execute software programs, or algorithms, associated with processing digitized real-time, real-world data. We show 51 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ADI shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ADI market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ADI market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ADI'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 ADI versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ADI 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 ADI can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ADI by allowing them to research the ADI market cap history. |
