Halyard Health is a medical technology company focused on eliminating pain, speeding recovery and preventing infection for healthcare providers and patients. Co. is organized into two operating segments based on product groupings: Medical Devices, which focused on pain management, respiratory and digestive health to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care that include post-operative pain management solutions, and minimally invasive interventional (or chronic) pain therapies; and Surgical and Infection Prevention, which provides healthcare supplies and solutions that target the prevention of healthcare-associated infections. We show 15 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HYH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HYH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HYH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HYH'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 HYH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HYH 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 HYH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching HYH by allowing them to research the HYH market cap history. |
