AGCO Corporation is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technology. Co. sells a range of agricultural equipment, including tractors, combines, self-propelled sprayers, hay tools, forage equipment, seeding and tillage equipment, implements, and grain storage and protein production systems. It provides telemetry-based fleet management tools, including remote monitoring and diagnostics, which help farmers improve uptime, machine and yield optimization, mixed fleet optimization and decision support. We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AGCO shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AGCO market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AGCO market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AGCO'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 AGCO versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AGCO 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 AGCO can fluctuate over the course of history.
