Federal Agricultural Mortgage is engaged in providing a secondary market for a variety of loans made to borrowers in rural America. Co.'s secondary market activities include: purchasing eligible loans directly from lenders; issuing and guaranteeing securities that represent interests in, or obligations secured by, pools of eligible loans; servicing eligible loans purchased or securitized by Co.; and providing long-term standby purchase commitments for eligible loans. Co. has two lines of business, Agricultural Finance and Rural Infrastructure Finance. Within those two lines of business are four segments: Corporate AgFinance, Farm and Ranch, Rural Utilities, and Renewable Energy. We show 33 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AGM.A shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AGM.A market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AGM.A market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AGM.A'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 AGM.A versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AGM.A 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 AGM.A can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching AGM.A by allowing them to research the AGM.A market cap history. |
