Molina Healthcare is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides managed healthcare services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, and through the state insurance marketplaces (the Marketplace). Co.'s segments are: Medicaid, which provides healthcare and long-term services and support to low-income Americans; Medicare, which is a federal program that provides eligible persons and some disabled persons, with a range of hospital, medical insurance, and prescription drug benefits; Marketplace, which provides Marketplace plans in various states where it provides Medicaid health plans; and Other, which includes long-term services and supports consultative services in Wisconsin. We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our MOH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute MOH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing MOH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing MOH'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 MOH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
MOH 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 MOH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching MOH by allowing them to research the MOH market cap history. |
