Upwork Inc. operates a working marketplace, which connects businesses with independent talent. Co.'s independent talent refers to the talent that includes independent professionals and agencies of varying sizes. Co.'s marketplace offerings are designed for clients looking to identify hiring. Its marketplace offerings provide clients with access to independent talent with verified work history on its work marketplace, as well as client feedback. They also receive perks, such as a verified client badge and highlighted job posts. Upwork Payroll is available to clients when they choose to work with talent that they engage through Upwork as employees. We show 29 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our UPWK shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute UPWK market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing UPWK market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing UPWK'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 UPWK versus a peer is one thing; comparing
UPWK 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 UPWK can fluctuate over the course of history.
