Analogic designs, manufactures, and commercializes real-time guidance, diagnostic imaging and threat detection technologies to practice medicine. Co. operates three business segments: Medical Imaging, which provides critical enabling medical imaging systems and subsystems for computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution digital mammography; Ultrasound, which provides real-time ultrasound procedure guidance systems for the urology, surgery and point of care markets; and Security and Detection, which designs and manufactures automated threat detection systems for aviation baggage inspection applications. We show 34 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ALOG shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ALOG market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ALOG market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ALOG'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 ALOG versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ALOG 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 ALOG can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ALOG by allowing them to research the ALOG market cap history. |
