ADT is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides security and smart home solutions serving residential, small business, and commercial customers in the U.S. Co. provides monitoring services as well as delivers lifestyle-driven solutions via installed, do-it-yourself, mobile, and digital-based offerings. Co. primarily provides its portfolio of products and services under its ADT brand, which includes burglar alarm, security automation, and other smart home solutions and fire detection, suppression, and access control systems (referred to collectively as security systems, solutions, or offerings), as well as solar systems and energy storage solutions for residential customers. We show 27 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ADT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ADT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ADT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ADT'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 ADT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ADT 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 ADT can fluctuate over the course of history.
