First Financial Bankshares is a financial holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. conducts a full-service commercial banking business. Each of Co.'s bank regions provide general commercial banking services, which include accepting and holding checking, savings and time deposits, making loans, automated teller machines, drive-in and night deposit services, safe deposit facilities, remote deposit capture, internet banking, mobile banking, payroll cards, transmitting funds, and performing other customary commercial banking services. Co. also provides full-service trust and wealth management activities through First Financial Trust & Asset Management Company, N.A., its trust company. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our FFIN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute FFIN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing FFIN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing FFIN'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 FFIN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
FFIN 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 FFIN can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching FFIN by allowing them to research the FFIN market cap history. |
