Cotiviti Holdings is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is engaged as a provider of analytics-driven payment accuracy solutions, focused primarily on the healthcare sector. Co.'s integrated solutions help clients enhance payment accuracy in a healthcare environment. Co. has two segments: Healthcare, which provides prospective and retrospective claims accuracy solutions to healthcare payers in the U.S. and provides analytics-based solutions unrelated to its healthcare payment accuracy solutions; and Global Retail and Other, which provides retrospective claims accuracy solutions to retailers primarily in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. We show 10 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our COTV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute COTV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing COTV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing COTV'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 COTV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
COTV 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 COTV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching COTV by allowing them to research the COTV market cap history. |
