Adtalem Global Education is a provider of educational services. Co.'s institutions and companies provide a range of programs in healthcare, technology, business, accounting, finance and law. Co. conducts its operations through three segments: The Medical and Healthcare, which includes the operations of its Chamberlain University, and Medical and Veterinary Schools that provide educational programs in nursing and health professions, respectively; Professional Education, which includes providing education serving the accounting, finance, project management and healthcare professions; and Technology and Business, which provides undergraduate and graduate programs. We show 38 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ATGE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ATGE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ATGE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ATGE'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 ATGE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ATGE 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 ATGE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ATGE by allowing them to research the ATGE market cap history. |
