STAAR Surgical Co. designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses for the eye and accessory delivery systems used to deliver the lenses into the eye. These lenses provide visual freedom for patients, lessening or eliminating the reliance on glasses or contact lenses. Co. is a manufacturer of lenses used worldwide in corrective or refractive surgery. It sells its products in approximately 75 countries, with direct distribution in Japan, Germany, Spain, the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, with a combination of direct distribution and independent distribution in China, Korea, India, France, Benelux, and Italy. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our STAA shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute STAA market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing STAA market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing STAA'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 STAA versus a peer is one thing; comparing
STAA 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 STAA can fluctuate over the course of history.
