Moelis & Co. is a global independent investment bank that provides strategic advice and solutions to a diverse client base, including corporations, governments and financial sponsors.

It advises clients on their critical decisions, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A), recapitalizations and restructurings, capital markets transactions, private fund raisings and secondary transactions and other corporate finance matters. We show 47 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our MC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute MC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing MC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing MC'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 MC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
MC 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 MC can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching MC by allowing them to research the MC market cap history. |
