The Industrial & Specialty segment provides chemicals and technologies that enhance surfaces or improve industrial processes in sectors like automotive, infrastructure, printing, and high-design faucets. Their solutions support manufacturing in consumer electronics, power electronics, semiconductor fabrication, communications, automotive systems, and industrial surface finishing. We show 26 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ESI shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ESI market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ESI market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ESI'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 ESI versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ESI 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 ESI can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ESI by allowing them to research the ESI market cap history. |
