Atlantic American is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. operates in markets within the life and health and property and casualty insurance industries. Co.'s subsidiaries are: American Southern Insurance Company and American Safety Insurance Company, which provides property and casualty insurance, including business automobile insurance, general liability insurance, and surety bonds; and Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company, Bankers Fidelity Assurance Company and Atlantic Capital Life Assurance Company, which comprises the life and health operations of Co. and provides a variety of life and supplemental health products. We show 55 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AAME shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AAME market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AAME market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AAME's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of AAME versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AAME market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like AAME can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching AAME by allowing them to research the AAME market cap history. |
