Arqit Quantum is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a cybersecurity company that engaged in quantum encryption technology which makes the communications links of any networked device secure against existing and future forms of cyber attack, even an attack from a quantum computer. Co.'s main product is QuantumCloud™. This is a Platform as a Service (Paas) which is underpinned by cloud infrastructure in the form of data centers and quantum key infrastructure. The PaaS creates keys in the cloud and at end points. These keys can be used to encrypt channels, encrypt data at rest and sign transaction. We show 2 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ARQQ shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ARQQ market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ARQQ market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ARQQ'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 ARQQ versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ARQQ 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 ARQQ can fluctuate over the course of history.
