John Bean Technologies is a technology solutions and service provider to the food, beverage, and aviation support industry. Co.'s segments are: JBT FoodTech, which provides solutions throughout the food production value chain extending from primary processing through packaging systems for various food and beverage groups, including poultry, beef, pork, seafood, ready-to-eat meals, fruits, vegetables, dairy, bakery, pet foods, soups, sauces, and juices; and JBT AeroTech, which supplies customized solutions and services used for applications in the air transportation industry, including airport authorities, airlines, airfreight, ground handling companies, militaries and defense contractors. We show 54 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our JBT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute JBT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing JBT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing JBT'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 JBT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
JBT 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 JBT can fluctuate over the course of history.
