The GEO Group, Inc. is a diversified government service provider. It is specialized in designing, financing, development and support services for facilities, processing centers and community reentry centers. Its worldwide operations include the ownership and/or delivery of support services for 100 facilities totaling approximately 81,000 beds, including idle facilities and projects under development, with a workforce of up to approximately 18,000 employees. Its U.S. Secure Services segment primarily encompasses its U.S.-based public-private partnership secure services business. We show 65 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our GEO shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute GEO market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing GEO market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing GEO'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 GEO versus a peer is one thing; comparing
GEO 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 GEO can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching GEO by allowing them to research the GEO market cap history. |
