We show 16 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DSWL shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DSWL market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DSWL market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DSWL'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 DSWL versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DSWL 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 DSWL can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DSWL by allowing them to research the DSWL market cap history. |
