Ecovyst is a holding company. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, PQ Corporation, Co. is a provider of catalysts, materials and chemicals, and services that enable environmental improvements, improve consumer products, and improve personal safety. Co. has four reporting segments: Refining Services, which provides sulfuric acid recycling and end-to-end logistics; Catalysts, which provides catalyst products and process solutions; Performance Materials, which engages in glass microspheres; and Performance Chemicals, which produces sodium silicates, and downstream specialty silicas as well as other silicate derivative products. We show 5 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ECVT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ECVT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ECVT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ECVT'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 ECVT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ECVT 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 ECVT can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ECVT by allowing them to research the ECVT market cap history. |
