B. Riley Financial is a financial services platform and invests in companies or assets with risk-adjusted return profiles to benefit its shareholders. Through its affiliated subsidiaries, Co. provides a range of investment banking, corporate finance research, sales, and trading, as well as advisory, valuation, and wealth management, services. Co.'s operating segments include: Capital Markets, which provides a range of investment banking, corporate finance, financial advisory, research, securities lending and sales and trading services to corporate, institutional, and individual clients; and Wealth Management, which provides wealth management and tax services to corporate and clients. We show 45 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our RILY shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute RILY market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing RILY market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing RILY'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 RILY versus a peer is one thing; comparing
RILY 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 RILY can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching RILY by allowing them to research the RILY market cap history. |
