IDEX is an applied solutions provider focusing on the manufacture of fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies and fire, safety and other diversified products. Co. has three segments: Fluid and Metering Technologies, which designs, produces and distributes displacement pumps, provers, flow meters, injectors and other fluid-handling pump modules and systems; Health and Science Technologies, which designs, produces and distributes a range of precision fluidics, and rotary lobe pumps; and Fire and Safety/Diversified Products, which designs, produces and distributes firefighting pumps, valves and controls, rescue tools, lifting bags and other components and systems. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IEX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IEX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IEX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IEX'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 IEX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IEX 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 IEX can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching IEX by allowing them to research the IEX market cap history. |
