CGI, directly or through its subsidiaries, provides information technology, business processes, and management to help its clients. Co. is manged through nine operating segments: Western and Southern Europe (primarily France, Portugal and Belgium); the U.S. Commercial and State Government; Canada; the U.S. Federal; the U.K. and Australia; Central and Eastern Europe (primarily Germany and the Netherlands); Scandinavia; Finland, Poland and Baltics; and Asia Pacific Global Delivery Centers of Excellence (mainly India and Philippines) (Asia Pacific). We show 17 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our GIB shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute GIB market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing GIB market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing GIB'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 GIB versus a peer is one thing; comparing
GIB 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 GIB can fluctuate over the course of history.
