iShares Short-Term National AMT-Free Muni Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of investment-grade U.S. municipal bonds with remaining maturities between one month and five years, as represented by the S&P Short Term National AMT-Free Municipal Bond IndexTM (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. As of Feb 28 2015, the Fund's total assets were $897,641,260 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $886,496,215. We show 189 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SUB shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SUB market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SUB market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SUB'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 SUB versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SUB 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 SUB can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching SUB by allowing them to research the SUB market cap history. |
