Huntsman is a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products. Co. operates in four segments: Polyurethanes, which is a manufacturer and marketer of a range of polyurethane chemicals, including MDI products, polyols and TPU; Performance Products, which is engaged in the manufacture and sale of amines and maleic anhydride; Advanced Materials, which is a manufacturer and marketer of epoxy, phenoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, mercaptan and acrylonitrile butadiene-based polymer products; and Textile Effects, which is a solutions provider in the wet processing of textiles across pretreatment, coloration, printing and finishing and provides a portfolio of textile chemicals and dyes. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HUN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HUN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HUN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HUN'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 HUN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HUN 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 HUN can fluctuate over the course of history.
