- MJR 16y agoIt does if you're trying to figure out how many shares you can buy. It's also of note because $17 is higher than the planned $14-16 range.
- eru 16y agoNumber of shares I can buy carries no information. Percentage of the company that I can own for x dollars carries some information. Although if you already knew about the earlier plans you mention, than the new 17$ per share is news. (I was not that informed.)
- ca98am79 16y agoI agree with you mostly, but price per share does carry some information. You don't think there would be any difference if the price per share were $0.00001 as opposed to $1,000,000 - even if the market cap were the same? There is a subtle difference because the price is determined by the buying and selling of the shares - and different types of people would be buying and selling the shares at these prices.
