The Travelers Companies, Inc. is a provider of property casualty insurance for auto, home and business. Co.'s segments include Business Insurance, Bond & Specialty Insurance, and Personal Insurance. The Business Insurance segment offers a broad array of property and casualty insurance products and services. The Bond & Specialty Insurance segment offers surety, fidelity, management liability, professional liability, and other property and casualty coverages and related risk management services, primarily in the U.S., and certain surety and specialty insurance products in Canada, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, as well as Brazil. We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our TRV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute TRV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing TRV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing TRV'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 TRV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
TRV 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 TRV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching TRV by allowing them to research the TRV market cap history. |
