Dana is engaged in providing power-conveyance and energy-management solutions for vehicles and machinery. Co.'s technologies include drive systems (axles, driveshafts, transmissions, and wheel and track drives); motion systems (winches, slew drives, and hub drives); electrodynamic technologies (motors, inverters, software and control systems, battery-management systems, and fuel cell plates); sealing solutions (gaskets, seals, cam covers, and oil pan modules); thermal-management technologies (transmission and engine oil cooling, battery and electronics cooling, and thermal-acoustical protective shielding); and digital solutions (system controls and descriptive and predictive analytics). We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DAN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DAN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DAN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DAN'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 DAN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DAN 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 DAN can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DAN by allowing them to research the DAN market cap history. |
