SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense is an open-end investment management company. The Fund's investment objective is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of multinational blue-chip issuers. In seeking this objective, the Fund uses a replication strategy. As of June 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment porfolio totaled $185,340,525 and $185,241,159, respectively. We show 9 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our XAR shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute XAR market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing XAR market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing XAR'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 XAR versus a peer is one thing; comparing
XAR 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 XAR can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching XAR by allowing them to research the XAR market cap history. |
