Pivotal Software provides a cloud native platform that makes software development and information technology operations. Co.'s offerings include Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) and Pivotal Labs (Labs). PCF is a cloud-native platform that provides a way to launch, and iterate on, applications in programming languages (such as Java, .Net, Ruby, Python, Node.js and Go) and frameworks (such as Spring) across private, public and multi-cloud environments. Labs provides strategic services for organizations to adopt and implement agile development and to transform existing applications to run on PCF. We show 9 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PVTL shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PVTL market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PVTL market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PVTL'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 PVTL versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PVTL 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 PVTL can fluctuate over the course of history.
