JERICHO, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2024 / "Stock market investors are wise to look back into history," said BNK Invest's Chief Operating Officer. "With that in mind, we provide several history-focused websites as research tools for investors.
"Understanding a company's market capitalization ("market cap" for short) is critical for investors. Many "novice" investors will take a look at one stock trading at $5 and another stock trading at $50 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth ten times as much.
But in order to truly compare the value of two stocks properly, one must also know how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies in question. It is only by multiplying the stock price by the number of outstanding shares that we can truly see which company has the larger market cap.
The issuance of new shares, or the repurchase of existing shares, together with rising and falling share price, means a company's market cap can fluctuate meaningfully throughout history.
To assist investors in researching these concepts, we provide the websites Market Cap History - at www.MarketCapHistory.com, Shares Outstanding History - at SharesOutstandingHistory.com, and Historical Stock Price - at www.HistoricalStockPrice.com.
In addition, investors can benefit from researching the past earnings of a company (and its past revenue results). In order to understand where a company is going, one must first know where it came from, and the most powerful insights into that question that we as investors have, is an examination of a company's earnings.
Furthermore, perhaps equally important to a stock's earnings level is that stock's valuation, and a popular way to measure valuation is the ratio comparing the stock's trading price against its earnings. Hence the term "PE Ratio" which stands for price to earnings ratio. Knowing a stock's current PE ratio is important, but it is even better to have the expanded context of also knowing that stock's historical PE ratio. In this way, investors can compare today's PE against the past.
To assist investors in researching these concepts, we provide the websites Past Earnings - at www.PastEarnings.com, and Historical PE Ratio - at www.HistoricalPERatio.com.
