Andersons is engaged in agriculture. Co. focuses on the North American agricultural supply chain. Co.'s operations are classified into three business segments: Trade, which is a business focusing on logistics and merchandising across a range of commodities; Renewables, which produces, purchases and sells ethanol and co-products, provides facility operations, risk management, and ethanol and co-products marketing services to the ethanol plants it invests in and operates; and Plant Nutrient, which is a manufacturer, distributor and retailer of agricultural and related plant nutrients, corncob-based products, and pelleted lime and gypsum products in the U.S. Corn Belt and Puerto Rico. We show 49 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ANDE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ANDE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ANDE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ANDE'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 ANDE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ANDE 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 ANDE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching ANDE by allowing them to research the ANDE market cap history. |
