A. H. Belo is a news and information publishing company with commercial printing, distribution and direct mail capabilities, as well as capabilities in media and digital marketing. Co. has two reportable segments: Publishing, which includes the operations of The Dallas Morning News (www.dallasnews.com), a Texas newspaper and various other publications targeting specific audiences; and Marketing Services, which includes marketing services generated by Co.'s subsidiary, DMV Digital Holdings Company, and its subsidiaries, Distribion, Inc., Vertical Nerve, Inc. and CDFX, LLC, and digital advertising through Connect. We show 40 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AHC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AHC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AHC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AHC'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 AHC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AHC 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 AHC can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching AHC by allowing them to research the AHC market cap history. |
