Global Brass and Copper Holdings is a converter, fabricator, processor and distributor of non-ferrous products, including a range of sheet, strip, foil, rod, tube and fabricated metal component products. While it primarily processes copper and copper alloys, Co. also rerolls and forms certain other metals such as stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum. Using processed scrap, virgin metals and other refined metals, Co. engages in metal melting and casting, rolling, drawing, extruding, welding and stamping to fabricate finished and semi-finished alloy products. Co. operates through three reportable operating segments: Olin Brass, Chase Brass and A.J. Oster. We show 24 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our BRSS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute BRSS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing BRSS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing BRSS'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 BRSS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
BRSS 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 BRSS can fluctuate over the course of history.
