CONSOL Energy is a producer of bituminous coal, focused on the extraction and preparation of coal in the Appalachian Basin. Co.'s primary businesses consist of its: Pennsylvania Mining Complex, which refers to coal mines, coal reserves and related assets and operations located primarily in southwestern Pennsylvania, and includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and the Central Preparation Plant; and CONSOL Marine Terminal, in which Co. provides coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore via its subsidiary, CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC. We show 18 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our CEIX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute CEIX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing CEIX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing CEIX'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 CEIX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
CEIX 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 CEIX can fluctuate over the course of history.
