Atlanticus Holdings is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides products and services to lenders in the U.S. Co. has two segments: Credit and Other Investments, which provides private label credit and general purpose credit cards originated by lenders through multiple channels, including retail and healthcare, direct mail solicitation, digital marketing and partnerships with third parties; and Auto Finance, which purchases and/or services loans secured by automobiles from or for, and also provides floor plan financing for, a pre-qualified network of automotive dealers and automotive finance companies in the buy-here, pay-here, used car business. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ATLC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ATLC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ATLC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ATLC'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 ATLC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ATLC 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 ATLC can fluctuate over the course of history.
