MTGE Investment invests in, finances and manages a portfolio of real estate-related investments, which include agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), non-agency securities, other mortgage-related investments and other real estate investments. Agency RMBS include residential mortgage pass-through certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations. Non-agency securities include securities backed by residential mortgages that are not guaranteed by a government-sponsored enterprise or U.S. Government agency and credit risk transfer securities. Other mortgage-related investments may include mortgage servicing rights and commercial mortgage-backed securities. We show 24 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our MTGE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute MTGE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing MTGE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing MTGE'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 MTGE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
MTGE 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 MTGE can fluctuate over the course of history.
