Matador Resources is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the U.S., with a focus on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays. Co.'s operations are focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Co. also operates in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas and the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana. Additionally, Co. conducts midstream operations through its midstream joint ventures, San Mateo Midstream, LLC and San Mateo Midstream II, LLC. We show 50 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our MTDR shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute MTDR market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing MTDR market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing MTDR'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 MTDR versus a peer is one thing; comparing
MTDR 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 MTDR can fluctuate over the course of history.
