BancorpSouth Bank conducts commercial banking and financial services operations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and Illinois. Co.'s segments are: Mortgage, which includes the mortgage banking activities of originating mortgage loans, selling mortgage loans in the secondary market and servicing the mortgage loans; Insurance Agencies, which serves as agents in the sale of commercial lines of insurance and lines of property and casualty, and health and employee benefits products and services; Wealth Management, which provides credit related products; and General Corporate and Other, which includes other activities not allocated to the segments. We show 32 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our BXS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute BXS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing BXS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing BXS'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 BXS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
BXS 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 BXS can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching BXS by allowing them to research the BXS market cap history. |
