Ditech Holding is a servicer and originator of mortgage loans. Co. services a range of loans across the credit spectrum for its own portfolio and for government sponsored enterprises, among others. Co.'s segments are: Servicing, which performs servicing for its own mortgage loan portfolio, on behalf of third-party credit owners of mortgage loans for a fee and on behalf of third-party owners of mortgage servicing rights for a fee, which Co. refers to as subservicing; and Originations, which originates and purchases mortgage loans through consumer originations, correspondent lending, and wholesale lending; and Reverse Mortgage, which primarily focuses on the servicing of reverse loans. We show 3 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DHCP shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DHCP market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DHCP market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DHCP'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 DHCP versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DHCP 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 DHCP can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DHCP by allowing them to research the DHCP market cap history. |
