Dawson Geophysical is a provider of North American onshore seismic data acquisition services with operations throughout the continental U.S. and Canada. Co. acquires and processes 2-D, 3-D and multi-component seismic data for its clients, ranging from oil and gas companies to independent oil and gas operators as well as providers of multi-client data libraries. Co.'s seismic data acquisition crews supply seismic data primarily to companies engaged in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas on land and in land-to-water transition areas. Seismic acquisition services of Co.'s subsidiary, Eagle Canada Seismic Services ULC, are also used by the potash mining industry in Canada. We show 40 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DWSN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DWSN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DWSN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DWSN'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 DWSN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DWSN 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 DWSN can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DWSN by allowing them to research the DWSN market cap history. |
