InVivo Therapeutics Holdings is a research and clinical-stage biomaterials and biotechnology company with a focus on treatment of spinal cord injuries. Co.'s Neuro-Spinal Scaffold implant is an investigational bioresorbable polymer scaffold that is designed for implantation at the site of injury within a spinal cord. The Neuro-Spinal Scaffold implant is intended to provide support to the surrounding tissue after injury, minimize expansion of areas of necrosis, and provide a biomaterial substrate for the body's own healing/repair processes following injury. The Neuro-Spinal Scaffold is composed of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid and Poly-L-Lysine biocompatible and bioresorbable polymers. We show 8 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our NVIV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute NVIV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing NVIV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing NVIV'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 NVIV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
NVIV 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 NVIV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching NVIV by allowing them to research the NVIV market cap history. |
