Rosetta Stone develops, markets and supports a suite of language-learning and literacy solutions consisting of web-based software subscriptions, online services, other services, and mobile applications. Co. has three segments: Literacy, which includes Lexia Learning suite of subscription-based English literacy-learning and assessment solutions; E&E Language, which provides web-based subscriptions to interactive language-learning solutions for schools, businesses and other organizations that are primarily available online; and Consumer Language, which provides technology-based learning products for personal use to the global consumer. We show 43 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our RST shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute RST market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing RST market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing RST'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 RST versus a peer is one thing; comparing
RST 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 RST can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching RST by allowing them to research the RST market cap history. |
