RE:RE:ParamountShare price doesn't reflect the value of a company. To find the value of a company you need the market cap. Example #1: stock price = $50 Outstanding shares = 50 000 000 Market cap = (SP $50 x 50 000 000) $2.5 billion To compare company in example #1 to example#2 Example #2 Stock price = $10 Outstanding share = 300 000 000 Market cap (SP $10 x 300 000 000) $3 billion
