Depomed is a pharmaceutical company focused on pain and other central nervous system conditions. Co.'s business includes the following products marketed in the U.S. for various pain states: Gralise®, which is a once-daily product for the management of postherpetic neuralgia; CAMBIA®, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the acute treatment of migraine attacks; Zipsor®, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of mild to moderate acute pain; NUCYNTA® ER, which is a product for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, including neuropathic pain; and NUCYNTA® IR, which is for the management of moderate to severe acute pain in adults. We show 36 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DEPO shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DEPO market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DEPO market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DEPO'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 DEPO versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DEPO 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 DEPO can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DEPO by allowing them to research the DEPO market cap history. |
