Raymond James Financial is a bank holding company and financial holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is engaged in various financial services activities. Co. has five segments: Private Client Group, which provides financial planning, investment advisory and securities transaction services; Capital Markets, which conducts investment banking, institutional sales, securities trading, equity research, and the syndication and management of investments; Asset Management, which provides asset management, portfolio management and related administrative services; Bank, which consists of Raymond James Bank, Fed member bank, and TriState Capital Bank; and Other. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our RJF shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute RJF market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing RJF market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing RJF'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 RJF versus a peer is one thing; comparing
RJF 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 RJF can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching RJF by allowing them to research the RJF market cap history. |
