"...stocks don't just "go up" to a certain value. The stock price is entirely dependent on how many shares are outstanding."

This is new to me. I always thought that revenue, growth, earnings, margins, distinct business advantages (patents, technology, mass effect, first-mover advantage, etc.) determined the stock price of a company.

If "the stock price is entirely dependent on how many shares are outstanding" how do metrics such as ROI, ROE, CAGR, EPS, and P/E fit into our investment decision?
