Real Goods Solar is engaged as a provider of solar energy systems to homeowners, and commercial building owners. Co. designs and provides a suitable solar energy solution, then procure, permit, install, and interconnect the system to the utility grid. Co. has two divisions: POWERHOUSE™, which provides various services, including but not limited to system design, permit application, utility application for permission to operate and assistance in procurement and/or sales of adjunct installation materials; and Solar, which provides its turnkey solar energy systems providing design, engineering, financing, procurement, permitting, installing, grid interconnection, and maintenance services. We show 9 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our RGSE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute RGSE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing RGSE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing RGSE'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 RGSE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
RGSE 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 RGSE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching RGSE by allowing them to research the RGSE market cap history. |
