Granite Construction Incorporated is a diversified construction and construction materials company in the U.S. as well as a full-suite civil construction provider. Co. operates through two segments: Construction and Materials. The Construction segment focuses on construction and rehabilitation of roads, pavement preservation, bridges, rail lines, airports, marine ports, dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, infrastructure and site development for use by the general public and water-related construction for municipal agencies, commercial water suppliers, industrial facilities and energy companies. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our GVA shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute GVA market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing GVA market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing GVA'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 GVA versus a peer is one thing; comparing
GVA 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 GVA can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching GVA by allowing them to research the GVA market cap history. |
