OSI Systems, Inc. is a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of specialized electronic systems for critical applications in diverse markets such as homeland security, healthcare, defense, and aerospace. The company operates through three divisions: Security, which provides security and inspection systems; Optoelectronics and Manufacturing, offering specialized electronic components; and Healthcare, focusing on patient monitoring and connected care systems. OSI Systems designs and manufactures optoelectronic devices and subsystems, and it also provides electronics manufacturing services primarily for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We show 64 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our OSIS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute OSIS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing OSIS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing OSIS'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 OSIS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
OSIS 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 OSIS can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching OSIS by allowing them to research the OSIS market cap history. |
