KeyCorp is a bank holding company. Through its principal subsidiary, KeyBank National Association and certain other subsidiaries, Co. has the following main business segments: Consumer Bank, which serves individuals and small businesses by providing a variety of deposit and investment products, personal finance and financial wellness services, lending, student loan refinancing, mortgage and home equity, credit card, treasury services, and business advisory services; and Commercial Bank, which is focused principally on serving the needs of middle market clients in the following industry sectors, including consumer, energy, healthcare, industrial, public sector, real estate, and technology. We show 47 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our KEY shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute KEY market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing KEY market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing KEY'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 KEY versus a peer is one thing; comparing
KEY 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 KEY can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching KEY by allowing them to research the KEY market cap history. |
