Cott is a water, coffee, tea, extracts and filtration service company in the North America and European home and office delivery industry for bottled water and engages in custom coffee roasting, iced tea blending, and extract solutions for the U.S. foodservice industry. Co. has three segments: Route Based Services, which provides bottled water, coffee and water filtration services to customers in North America, Europe, and Israel; Coffee, Tea and Extract Solutions, which provides coffee roasting and customized coffee, tea and extract solutions to customers; and All Other, which produces hot chocolate, coffee, tea, soups, malt drinks, cereals, beverage concentrates and mineral water. We show 45 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our COT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute COT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing COT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing COT'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 COT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
COT 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 COT can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching COT by allowing them to research the COT market cap history. |
