Huron Consulting Group Inc. is a professional services company. Co. operates in three segments: Healthcare, Education, and Commercial. The Healthcare segment serves acute care providers, including national and regional health systems; academic health systems; community health systems; and public, children's and critical access hospitals, and non-acute care providers, including physician practices and medical groups; payors; and long-term care or post-acute providers. The Education segment serves public and private colleges and universities, research institutes and other education-related organizations. We show 59 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HURN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HURN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HURN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HURN'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 HURN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HURN 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 HURN can fluctuate over the course of history.
