Alto Ingredients is a producer and marketer of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients. Co.'s business consists of three reportable segments: marketing and distribution, which includes marketing and merchant trading for Co-produced alcohols and essential ingredients on an aggregated basis, and third party fuel-grade ethanol; Pekin production, which includes the production and sale of alcohols and essential ingredients produced at its Pekin, IL campus; and other production, which includes the production and sale of renewable fuel and essential ingredients produced at all of its other production facilities. We show 14 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ALTO shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ALTO market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ALTO market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ALTO'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 ALTO versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ALTO 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 ALTO can fluctuate over the course of history.
