Price per share is only half the story. Multiply it by shares outstanding and you get the number that matters: market capitalization, the market’s current price tag on a public company. And for the 43rd time, it’s time to turn that lesson into a game.
David welcomes Motley Fool analyst Yasser El-Shimy and longtime Fool producer and personality Mac Greer for ten companies spanning cloud software, credit cards, Norwegian energy, sleep apnea, community banking, rare-earth minerals, biotech real estate, and 78,000 miles of pipelines. Along the way: two Throwdowns, the King-Sharon rule, some company-history surprises—and a coveted future seat in the March Market Cap Madness Final Four hanging in the balance.
As always, the most important contestant is you. Agree or disagree with the stated ranges, risk the extra half-point by calling higher or lower when you dare, keep your own score—and see whether you can beat the Fools.
