CSP and its subsidiaries develop and market IT integration solutions, security products, managed IT services, cloud services, purpose built network adapters, and cluster computer systems. Co. operates in two segments: Technology Solutions (TS) and High Performance Products (HPP). The TS segment consists of Co.'s subsidiary, Modcomp, Inc., which provides products and services such as integration solutions, third-party hardware, software, and technology products, other services, and managed IT and cloud services. The HPP segment has three product lines: a cybersecurity solution marketed as ARIA™ Software-Defined Security; the Myricom® network adapters; and the Multicomputer product portfolio. We show 47 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our CSPI shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute CSPI market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing CSPI market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing CSPI'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 CSPI versus a peer is one thing; comparing
CSPI 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 CSPI can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching CSPI by allowing them to research the CSPI market cap history. |
