Permian Basin Royalty Trust is an express trust. Its Waddell Ranch Properties has mineral interests in the Waddell Ranch. Its Waddell Ranch Properties have proved reserves in six fields: Dune, Sand Hills (Judkins), Sand Hills (McKnight), Sand Hills (Tubb), University-Waddell (Devonian) and Waddell. The Waddell Ranch properties contain approximately 1,067 gross (499 net) productive oil wells and 108 gross (51 net) productive gas wells. The Blackbeard Operating, LLC is an operator of record of the Waddell Ranch properties. In the six fields, there are 12 producing zones ranging in depth from 2,800 to 10,600 feet. We show 29 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PBT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PBT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PBT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PBT'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 PBT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PBT 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 PBT can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching PBT by allowing them to research the PBT market cap history. |
