What is market capitalization?

Unlike net income, market capitalization and revenue do not take into account factors such as outstanding debt or the cost of goods sold. While revenue is a hard figure for the quantity of the money generated over a certain period, market capitalization depends on more fluid categories such as public perception and a company’s reputation.

Revenue of Enterprise Products Partners

On an international level, Enterprise Products Partners also ranks worldwide as the leading oil equipment and oil service provider in terms of net income , or profit after calculating taxes and expenses.. Neverthless, the company falls far behind Energy Transfer U.S. in a global comparison based on revenue alone. Like many of its competitors, the revenue of Enterprise Products Partners was lowest during the financial crisis circa 2009. It followed a trend of strong increase as the U.S. shale industry took off, peaking in 2014 before a sharp decline caused by an oversupply, known as the 2010s oil glut.
