AEGON is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is an international financial services group that provides life insurance, pensions, and asset management. Co.'s products and services include: insurance, which consists of life (indexed universal life, whole life, and term), accident and health, and property and casualty; long-term savings related, which consists of retirement plan services, annuities, mutual funds, and stable value solution; banking and mortgages, which consists of digital banking services and residential mortgages; and asset management, which consists of retail and institutional investment management solutions and retirement savings vehicles and strategies. We show 6 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AEG shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AEG market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AEG market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AEG'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 AEG versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AEG 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 AEG can fluctuate over the course of history.
