Compass provides a cloud-based platform that empowers residential real estate agents in the U.S. to deliver service to their buyer and seller clients. Co.'s platform provides an integrated suite of software for customer relationship management, marketing, client service, operations and other critical functionality, as well as brokerage services and adjacent services, all optimized for the nuances of the real estate industry. Co.'s principal activity is to generate a commission when Co.'s agents, acting as independent contractors, assist a client in buying or selling a home on the Compass platform and under the Compass brand. We show 13 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our COMP shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute COMP market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing COMP market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing COMP'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 COMP versus a peer is one thing; comparing
COMP 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 COMP can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching COMP by allowing them to research the COMP market cap history. |
