Halliburton assists its customers throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion and optimizing production throughout the life of the asset. Co.'s segments are: Completion and Production, which delivers cementing, stimulation, intervention, pressure control, artificial lift, and completion products and services; and Drilling and Evaluation, which provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, fluids and specialty chemicals, evaluation and wellbore placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, drill, and support their well construction activities. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HAL shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HAL market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HAL market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HAL'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 HAL versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HAL 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 HAL can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching HAL by allowing them to research the HAL market cap history. |
