Pope Resources is engaged primarily in managing timber resources on its own properties as well as those owned by others. Co. operates in four business segments: Partnership Timber, and Funds Timber, which both consist of growing, managing, harvesting, and marketing timber; Timberland Investment Management, which is engaged in organizing and managing private equity timber funds using capital invested by third parties and Co.; and Real Estate, which is focused on a portfolio in the west Puget Sound region of Washington, most of which are legacy timberlands that have become suitable as development property owing to the expansion of the Puget Sound metropolitan and suburban areas. We show 26 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our POPE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute POPE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing POPE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing POPE'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 POPE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
POPE 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 POPE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching POPE by allowing them to research the POPE market cap history. |
