Mohawk Industries is a global flooring manufacturer for residential and commercial spaces around the world. Co. has three reporting segments: Global Ceramic, which designs, manufactures, sources, distributes and markets a line of ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile products used for floor and wall applications; Flooring North America, which designs, manufactures, sources and distributes carpet, carpet tile, rugs and mats, carpet pad, wood, laminate, medium-density fiberboard, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and sheet vinyl; and Flooring Rest of the World, which designs, manufactures, sources and distributes laminate, wood flooring, LVT and sheet vinyl, broadloom carpet and carpet tile. We show 39 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our MHK shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute MHK market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing MHK market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing MHK'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 MHK versus a peer is one thing; comparing
MHK 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 MHK can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching MHK by allowing them to research the MHK market cap history. |
