LTC Properties is a real estate investment trust that invests in seniors housing and health care properties through sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures, construction financing and structured finance solutions including preferred equity. Co.'s real estate investments include the following types of properties: skilled nursing centers, which provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the extensive treatment available at acute care hospitals; assisted living communities, which serve people who require assistance with activities of daily living; and independent living communities, which provide a sense of community and various levels of service. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our LTC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute LTC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing LTC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing LTC'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 LTC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
LTC 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 LTC can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching LTC by allowing them to research the LTC market cap history. |
