Tekla Healthcare Opportunities Fund is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income and long-term capital appreciation through investments in United States and non-United States companies in the healthcare industry (including equity securities, debt securities and pooled investment vehicles). The Fund invests in securities of public and private companies believed by the Fund's Investment Adviser, Tekla Capital Management LLC, to have potential for above-average growth. The Fund may invest in private companies and restricted securities, including private investments in public equity and venture capital investments. We show 1 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our THQ shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute THQ market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing THQ market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing THQ'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 THQ versus a peer is one thing; comparing
THQ 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 THQ can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching THQ by allowing them to research the THQ market cap history. |
