AerCap Holdings N.V. is an Ireland-based company, which is primarily engaged in aviation leasing. Co. provides a range of assets for lease, including narrowbody and widebody aircraft, regional jets, freighters, engines, and helicopters. Its offering includes new and used commercial passenger and cargo aircraft, and helicopters, on operating lease from its existing fleet and order book. In addition, it offers aftermarket components, equipment and services through its materials business and the lease, purchase and financing of spare engines. It also provides aircraft owners, financiers and investors with all asset services necessary to manage an aircraft, engines and helicopter portfolio. We show 13 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AER shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AER market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AER market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AER'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 AER versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AER 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 AER can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching AER by allowing them to research the AER market cap history. |
