PotlatchDeltic is a timberland real estate investment trust. Co.'s operations are organized into three reportable segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. Co.'s Timberlands segment consists of management activities including planting and harvesting trees and building and maintaining roads. The Timberlands segment also engaged in activities such as hunting leases, recreation permits and leases, mineral rights contracts, oil and gas royalties and carbon sequestration. Co.'s Wood Products segment manufactures and markets lumber, plywood and residual products. Co.'s Real Estate segment consist primarily of the sale of rural land and real estate development and subdivision activity. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PCH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PCH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PCH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PCH'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 PCH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PCH 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 PCH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching PCH by allowing them to research the PCH market cap history. |
