Amtech Systems is a manufacturer of capital equipment. Co. operates in two reportable business segments: Semiconductor, which supplies thermal processing equipment, including solder reflow ovens, horizontal diffusion furnaces, and custom high-temp belt furnaces for use by semiconductor, electronics and electro/mechanical assembly manufacturers; Material and Substrate, which produces substrate consumables, chemicals and machinery for lapping (fine abrading) and polishing of materials, such as silicon wafers for semiconductor products, sapphire wafers for light-emitting diodes applications, and compound substrates, like silicon carbide wafers, for power device applications. We show 51 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ASYS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ASYS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ASYS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ASYS'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 ASYS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ASYS 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 ASYS can fluctuate over the course of history.
