Capitol Federal Financial is a holding company. Through its subsidiary, Capitol Federal Savings Bank, Co. accepts deposits from the general public and from businesses, and invests those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences and in commercial loans, either secured by real estate or for commercial and industrial purposes. Co. also participates with other lenders in commercial loans, originates consumer loans primarily secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences, and invests in certain investment securities and mortgage-backed securities using funding from deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank Topeka borrowings. We show 52 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our CFFN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute CFFN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing CFFN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing CFFN'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 CFFN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
CFFN 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 CFFN can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching CFFN by allowing them to research the CFFN market cap history. |
