GENESIS vs SILVER LAKE, page-5

Hi @Jeanlucecuyer,

You've probably figured this out already, but just in case....

The answer to your first point is that the value of a company is about Market Capitalisation, not just the share price. So the amount of shares on issue is very important, you can't just set that aside.

Silverlake has around 4 times more shares on issue than Genesis, and has a Market Cap of around $1.2 billion, where as Genesis has a Market Cap of around $300 million. So Silverlake is currently around 4 times the value of Genesis.

As Timbin says, it is a very important concept to understand for investing.

Kind regards.
