Graphic Packaging Holding provides packaging solutions for various products to food, beverage, foodservice and other consumer products companies. Co.'s segments are: Paperboard Mills, which includes its North American paperboard mills that produce primarily coated recycled paperboard, coated unbleached kraft paperboard and solid bleached sulfate paperboard; Americas Paperboard Packaging, which includes paperboard packaging, primarily folding cartons, sold primarily to Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies; and Europe Paperboard Packaging, which includes paperboard packaging, primarily folding cartons, sold primarily to CPG companies serving the food, beverage and consumer product markets. We show 56 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our GPK shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute GPK market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing GPK market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing GPK'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 GPK versus a peer is one thing; comparing
GPK 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 GPK can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching GPK by allowing them to research the GPK market cap history. |
