CMC Materials is a global supplier of consumable materials to semiconductor manufacturers and pipeline companies. Co. operates its business within two reportable segments: Electronic Materials and Performance Materials. The Electronic Materials segment consists of Co.'s chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries, CMP pads, electronic chemicals, and materials technologies businesses. Co.'s Performance Materials segment includes its pipeline and industrial materials, wood treatment, and its QED Technologies International, Inc. subsidiary's precision optics business that serves the precision optics industry with capital equipment, consumables, and services. We show 51 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our CCMP shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute CCMP market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing CCMP market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing CCMP'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 CCMP versus a peer is one thing; comparing
CCMP 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 CCMP can fluctuate over the course of history.
