Healthpeak Properties is a real estate investment trust that invests mainly in real estate serving the healthcare industry. Co. acquires, develops, leases, owns, and manages healthcare real estate. Co.'s portfolio is comprised of investments in the following reportable healthcare segments: life science, which contains laboratory and office space that are leased to the organizations involved in the life science industry; medical office, which includes medical office buildings and hospitals; and continuing care retirement community, which is retirement community that includes independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing units to provide a continuum of care in an integrated campus. We show 18 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PEAK shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PEAK market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PEAK market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PEAK'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 PEAK versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PEAK 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 PEAK can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching PEAK by allowing them to research the PEAK market cap history. |
