BankUnited, Inc. is a bank holding company of BankUnited (the Bank). The Bank provides a full range of commercial lending and both commercial and consumer deposit services through banking centers located in Florida, the New York metropolitan area and Dallas, Texas, and a comprehensive suite of wholesale products to customers through an Atlanta office focused on the Southeast region. The Bank's lending and leasing products include commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgages and other consumer loans. We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our BKU shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute BKU market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing BKU market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing BKU'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 BKU versus a peer is one thing; comparing
BKU 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 BKU can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching BKU by allowing them to research the BKU market cap history. |
