Ares Commercial Real Estate is a finance company primarily engaged in originating and investing in commercial real estate loans and related investments. Through Ares Commercial Real Estate Management LLC, an investment adviser and a subsidiary of Ares Management, L.P., it has investment personnnel located across the U.S. and Europe who directly source new loan opportunities for Co. with owners, operators and sponsors of commercial real estate (CRE) properties. Co.'s target investments include senior mortgage loans, subordinated debt, preferred equity, mezzanine loans and other CRE investments, including commercial mortgage-backed securities. We show 28 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ACRE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ACRE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ACRE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ACRE'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 ACRE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ACRE 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 ACRE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ACRE by allowing them to research the ACRE market cap history. |
