Edgewell Personal Care is a manufacturer and marketer of personal care products in the wet shave, sun and skin care, and feminine care categories. Co.'s operating segments are: Wet Shave, which manufactures and distributes Schick and Wilkinson Sword razor systems, composed of razor handles and refillable blades, and disposable shave products; Sun and Skin Care, which markets sun care products under the Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic brands; and Feminine Care, which markets products under the Playtex, Stayfree, Carefree and o.b. brands, as well as provides tampons under the Playtex Gentle Glide® 360°®, Playtex Sport®, Playtex and o.b. brands, including the Playtex Sport compact tampon. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our EPC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute EPC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing EPC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing EPC'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 EPC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
EPC 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 EPC can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching EPC by allowing them to research the EPC market cap history. |
