American Vanguard is a holding company. Through its subsidiary, AMVAC Chemical Corporation (AMVAC), Co. is primarily a specialty chemical manufacturer that develops and markets products for agricultural, commercial and consumer uses. Co. manufactures and formulates chemicals for crops, human and animal protection. These products, which include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, soil health, plant nutrition, molluscicides, growth regulators, and soil fumigants, are marketed in liquid, powder, and granular forms. AMVAC primarily synthesizes, formulates, and distributes its own proprietary products or custom manufactures, formulates or distributes for others. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AVD shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AVD market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AVD market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AVD'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 AVD versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AVD 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 AVD can fluctuate over the course of history.
