XP is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides financial products and services in Brazil. Co. provides its clients with two types of offerings, its financial advisory services and its open financial product platform including: Suite of XP Advisory Services, which are comprised of services such as XP Investimentos, XP Private, XP Investments and XP Issuer Services; Open Product Platform, which provides its clients with the access to investment products in the market such as equity and fixed income securities, mutual and hedge funds, structured products, life insurance and others; and Customer Service, which is designed to provide its clients and partners with client service. We show 4 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our XP shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute XP market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing XP market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing XP'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 XP versus a peer is one thing; comparing
XP 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 XP can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching XP by allowing them to research the XP market cap history. |
