IMAX is an entertainment technology company. Through its proprietary software, theater architecture, patented intellectual property and other equipment, Co. provides an end-to-end solution to create content experiences for which the IMAX® brand is globally renowned. Co. uses its technology and engineering in all aspects of its main business, which principally consists of the digital remastering of films and other contents into the IMAX format and the sale or lease of IMAX theater systems. Co. generally does not own the theaters in the IMAX network, but sells or leases the IMAX System along with a license to use its trademarks. We show 55 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IMAX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IMAX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IMAX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IMAX'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 IMAX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IMAX 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 IMAX can fluctuate over the course of history.
